As if allowing thousands of diseased and criminal illegal alien vermin into America wasn’t enough to fulfill Obama’s wet dream of making this country into a third world Banana Republic, now he wants to import Ebola from the African cesspool.
From Fox News.
The White House was forging ahead Monday with a three-day Washington summit inviting delegations from nearly 50 African countries, despite growing fears about the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus.
Administration officials say they are taking additional precautions to screen visitors for the disease in both Africa and the United States. Despite some leaders canceling plans to attend due to the outbreak, Obama made clear last week that the summit would go on.
“It is going to be an unprecedented gathering of African leaders,” Obama said Friday.
The high-profile summit in the nation’s capital is meant to tackle issues ranging from food security to Africa’s business climate to terrorism. It follows on Obama’s trip to Africa last summer.
But the surging outbreak of Ebola in West Africa raised questions about whether the summit should even go forward. Already, the presidents of Liberia and Sierra Leone have canceled.
Obama and government health officials, though, emphasized that they could keep to the agenda, with the proper precautions.
The government is “taking the necessary steps domestically to protect the American people,” an administration official said in the run-up to the summit. “We have no plans to change the agenda of the summit, but we will obviously adapt as needed and in consultation with our partners, depending on their requirements.”
Obama noted that those coming from countries “that have even a marginal risk or an infinitesimal risk of having been exposed in some fashion” will undergo screening in their country of departure and additional screening in the U.S. So far, the outbreak is concentrated in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
“We feel confident that the procedures that we’ve put in place are appropriate,” he said.
Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, likewise voiced confidence in the precautions being taken.
“There are 50 million travelers from around the world that come to the U.S. each year that are essential to our economy, to our families, to our communities,” Frieden told “Fox News Sunday.” “What we can do is put in place sensible screening procedures.”
Like they screen for terrorists, terrorist facilitators, and Mexican ‘travelers’.
……While the summit gets underway, a second American stricken with Ebola is expected to be flown to the U.S. for treatment on Tuesday, following a colleague who was admitted over the weekend to Emory University Hospital’s infectious disease unit.
There is no cure for Ebola, which causes hemorrhagic fever that kills at least 60 percent of the people it infects in Africa. Ebola spreads through close contact with bodily fluids and blood, meaning it is not spread as easily as airborne influenza or the common cold.
That’s probably bullshit on stilts. According to health reports, the virus went airborne and spread between two different animal species during an experiment. The article mitigates the threat by stating:
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease. As expert commentators at ProMED stated, the experiments “demonstrate the susceptibility of pigs to Zaire Ebolavirus and that the virus from infected pigs can be transmitted to macaques under experimental conditions… they fall short of establishing that this is a normal route of transmission in the natural environment.” Furthermore, because human Ebola outbreaks have historically been locally contained, it is unlikely that Ebola can spread between humans via airborne transmission.
The truth is, health officials and scientists are not entirely sure how the disease originated and how it’s exclusively spread. The common sense thing to do, would be to treat the patients on a hospital ship, not on land where it can spread like wildfire.
Does anyone with half a fucking brain want to take the risk?

REPORT: Ebola outbreak ‘much worse than thought’…
Yet no one caught ebola after the conference… it wasn’t until tx couldnt figure out an ebola patient. ( who needs those commie cdc guidelines! ) when he literally walked in the door and said I’m sick…I am from Africa… perhaps Tx should just sharpened up some of their educational tools…not the brightest bulbs on the tree.
Martha,
He didn’t just walk in, he lied to get into the country. The TSA isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed either. Here’s a brilliant idea: STOP allowing flights originating from countries rife with the fucking disease. Obama scrapped the quarantine regs that would have kept that shitbag out of the country. Reinstate the quarantine and keep these people away from land, preferably on hospital ships until they are cleared for entry. Instead, we get the usual stupidity from the CDC assclowns and nothing will change.
Feel safer?
