Irresponsible Obama: No Travel Restrictions On Countries With Ebola Outbreaks
The White House said Wednesday it will not impose travel restrictions or introduce new airport screenings to prevent additional cases of Ebola from entering the United States.
Spokesman Josh Earnest said that current anti-Ebola measures, which include screenings in West African airports and observation of passengers in the United States, will be sufficient to prevent the “wide spread” of the virus.
The chances of a U.S. epidemic are “incredibly low,” he said.
“The reason for that is that it is not possible to transmit Ebola through the air. … The only way that an individual can contract Ebola is by coming into contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is exhibiting symptoms.”
The comments were made after federal health officials confirmed that a man with Ebola traveled to the United States from Liberia on Sept. 20. He is now being treated in isolation in a Dallas hospital as public health workers trace his contacts.
Earnest said President Obama has “strong confidence” in the man’s medical care and the measures currently in place to prevent Ebola’s spread.
Wild Thing’s comment.………..
So stupid, but very much how Obama and his administration run things.
This EBOLA stricken Mr. Duncan flew on Air France to Belgium then onto Dulles D.C. then Big D… President Obola wants an epidemic to occur so Caesar can declare Marshall law – period. This is TREASON & Insanity…
GERM WARFARE so President Obola can declare Marshall Law… This is Treasonous & INSANE!!!
Vote in 31 days America!!!!
They think we’re that stupid to believe that only body fluid contact can spread it. Every time you exhale, you’re exhaling vapor which came from within your body…vaporized body fluid.
Every damn thing about the entire obama administration is incompetent, dishonest, thuggish, criminal. With our mobility here in America it will be next to impossible to thwart a deadly virus. No one known to have been in W. Africa in the last year should be allowed in the US.
