Did Obama Just Raise The Ebola Threat Level?
4 weeks ago this is what President Obama said "the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low."
Today, having reassured Americans that "Ebola is not like the flu, it's not airborne," (despite experts' concerns that Ebola could indeed be aerogenically transmitted) Obama stated that a "widespread outbreak of Ebola in the US is 'unlikely'"
From "Extremely Low" to "Unlikely"... in a month.

It should of been raised before the clown had an opinion on it.
Instead of sending doctors to Africa, they'll just napalm the shit of out it.
He truly is the worst prez you have ever had! I love all the Americans I know but that Prez is a disaster.
too late
he should've raised that freak flag last MONTH...
Mr. president...do you rear that sucking sound...
that was your legacy as PRESIDENT..any positives that were left..
now what will you be remembered for??
Well he has completed his mission of Fundamental Change of 'meriKa
i dont think history will be kind to our commander in chief...
even liberals are running from the president...
Its getting serious now, he had to cancel a fundraiser.

BAM!

It was like a hard pivot or sumpin ;-)
We vaccinated some folks.
Bioviral warfare. Simple.
If you like your pandemic, you can keep your pandemic. No matter what. Period.
Can flies spread ebola? Just wondering...
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02461/Obama-fly_2461808b.jpg
whatever he might be doing now...we all need to remember what he did back in August:
Obama Signs Executive Order to Allow Detention of Americans With ‘Respiratory Illnesses’http://www.infowars.com/obama-signs-executive-order-to-detain-americans-with-respiratory-illnesses/
There's a very specific reason why obama's puppeteers made him do this. And remember...there are no coincidences in politics or the with the nefarious scum who occupy the political arena.
"As the Ebola outbreak continues to cause concern, President Barack Obama has signed an amendment to an executive order that would allow him to mandate the apprehension and detention of Americans who merely show signs of “respiratory illness.”..."The executive order, titled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases, amends executive order 13295, passed by George W. Bush in April 2003, which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”
The amendment signed by Obama replaces subsection (b) of the original Bush executive order which referred only to SARS. Obama’s amendment allows for the detention of Americans who display, “Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled.”
Although Ebola was listed on the original executive order signed by Bush, Obama’s amendment ensures that Americans who merely show signs of respiratory illness, with the exception of influenza, can be forcibly detained by medical authorities.
Although the quarantining of people suspected of being infected with the Ebola virus seems like a perfectly logical move, the actual preconditions for this to happen aren’t restricted to just those suffering from the disease.
As we highlighted earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has measures in place for dealing with an outbreak of a communicable disease which allow for the quarantine of “well persons” who “do not show symptoms” of the disease.
In addition, under the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, public health authorities and governors would be given expanded police powers to seize control of communications devices, public and private property, as well as a host of other draconian measures in the event of a public health emergency.
"Its getting serious now, he had to cancel a fundraiser.
http://www.app.com/story/capitolquickies/2014/10/15/obama-pelosi-nj-fundraisers/17291015/"
If it gets any more serious, he'll have to cancel the back 9.
I FINALLY AGREE...!
Can't Blame This Debacle On GWB...
I did not have ebola with that woman
If any of you assholes joke about whether he was reading properly from the teleprompter or how he had to unfortunately cut his fundraising/golf trips around the country short or how he is totally, utterly clueless about what’s really going on because this is a C I A operation or how this ebola outbreak might be Obama’s greatest accomplishment as far as his real bosses are concerned or how he will be remembered as President Obola, as a staunch liberal, I am going to call you out for being racist.
You have been sternly warned.
I love to run, 400 meters at this point. Race day is exciting.
I need a T-Shirt that says "I'm a Racist & darned proud of it."
lol
Ok...He can keep his all of his college transcripts secret , I just want to see his BioChem grade.
ya got me...I'm a racist. I hate M.U.T.A.N.T.S., and obama is most definitely one of them:
M.arxist
U.topian
T.yrannical
A.uthoritarian
N.efarious
T.reasonous
S.ociopath
I guess I'm just a racist against those fucking M.U.T.A.N.T.S.
IF Obola Breaks Out In USa, It's On Obola's Refusal To STOP FLIGHTS From West Africa, WEEKS AGO!!!
Is BIG Bad News Coming????????????????
I do believe so...
o wise one
If ?
When he comes on the TVee with an asperator on his head you'll know it's too late
Something different about the Obamatron, I can't quite put my finger on it... :>D
Rarely is anything that happens in a large and complex nation, the sole responsibility of the MOFO in Chief.
This is the exception.
But Obama's son could be there trying to get out...
If I had a son he'd look like Obola
or a wookie
Was extremely low until those retards in texas had the first case show up at their door (and promptly sent home) lol. Gentlemen ebola is in texas, start your prayers.
Chances of ebola spreading are extremely low.
Sir it's in texas but don't worry the hospitals there have it under contorl.
Ah fuck, scratch that - pandemic looms..
Is Rick (the prick) Perry still in Europe?

Ebolacare: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The CDC
Remember the BP gulf spill lies.....didnt think so
Yes, that flag should have been raised last month. But, consider this headline:
*OBAMA SAYS CDC TO DEPLOY RAPID RESPONSE TEAMS FOR EBOLA
For the gubmint, 12 days is a rapid response. The levels of bureaucracy that must be sifted through, the backroom deals that must be agreed upon, the crony contracts for supplies that must be arranged, none of this comes quickly. So a "rapid response" from da gubmint is about as oxymoronic as the phrase "jumbo shrimp".
#Contained?!?!
Actually they just might deal with this much faster. Not due to the fact that they feel a great urgency and need to save the population at large, but perhaps to FEMA camp as many peoples asses as quickly as possible under the auspices of protection. Once they start tracking how many people have come in direct contact with an EBOLIZED patient, they'll probably disappear quite a few of them. From their point of view perhaps the faster the better. Remember Hazmat wearer in chief knows best.
Listen up, you elite motherfuckers. What do you think will happen when the little people you depend on realize that this whole shitshow was part of your big plan for depoulation, fascism and shifting the blame for the inevitable financial collapse? You are all going to have to live like Howard Huges. Even if you didn't order this directly. And if you think Zombie Apocalypse is horrible, try living in an underground base full of your fellow psychopaths.
Underground bases have to have 2nd entrances and some have vents (weak points).

Double dup, WTF
One month from now. "It is really really unlikely your liver will come out of your butt-hole"

Anything below 49% is not what he considers "widespread".
I'm just sitting here waiting for him to do his usual "I had no idea. Nobody told me. I just heard it on the news, like everybody else. I'm mad as hell. I want answers. This is going to get fixed."
And then he goes back to the golf course. Same as usual.
Don't forget it's Bush's fault...
Dear Mr. Putin,
If you were president, what would you do in Mr. Obama's place?
Scared and alone at home in the USA,
Virginia
scared and alone, ms...
may i be of service?
;)
Remember Virginia wrote the newspaper to ask if Santa existed? Artistic license in that vein. There is no leader here in the US. Putin is a political creature too, and a murderer most likely, but at least he is an effective individual who does not seem to get taken over by events.
i remember...
and i caught what you were throwing...
i was just being funny...
peace...
Okay, let's play.
What would you do, sir, if you were dropped into Obama's position, right this second?
Oh oh oh! Pick me! Pick me! I know this one:
1) To all gov employees: You're FIRED.
2) To all military: Thanks, we're done killing. Come home, check in the guns, good luck finding a job.
3) Fed is no more. Deal with it. I'd suggest gold/silver, but peeps will figure things out on their own.
4) I quit.
activate the national guard..
get every biological expert to D.C....chaired by the military leadership...
give them the tools to do their jobs..
and GTF out of their way...
DONE!
ok..ms..YOURE UP!
As for you MsCreant I'd give you the ol' Holy Sacrament!
When Elites are going to go underground in Denver, are they going to take Obamber with them or not?
Only if he still holds office or has use in some future globalist endeavor. Otherwise, he will be found in an alley full of meth and jism.
Friend of mine grew up in the same town as Obama...they were on the same Tee ball team as youngsters, said they called him "booger eater Barry"....said he was so worthless, they made him the pitcher on the tee ball team, said he was even bad at that, said he was a constant distraction and mainly sat the bench eating boogers, even then, he would yell, "I got this" and would wave everybody off on a popup, no matter where it was hit, and of course, he never got it...said he struck out all the time too..
They play tee ball in Kenya?
Look on the bright side...at least he won't be spending 100 million taxpayer dollars to visit Africa ever again.
bit late for that, mr, president..
How long before the USA uses Ebola in a bomb?
They already did, its called a Duncan Bomb
When we are all dead from Ebola, the one thing I will certainly be glad for is not seeing Obama, The President, on TV, every. fucking. day.
Keep watching that TeeVee and you might die of brain cancer first. I haven't heard his voice in at least two years, likely more.
Listen.
It slowed down dramatically after Tyler's "Fainting Bitches" article. When the Team outed the actors fainting in the crowd during the speeches.
I gave up years a go as I just hate being lied to my face and that pontificating voice creeps me out not to mention his pointing of his head to the sky.
No kidding, it's to late they allowed the monster onto new hunting grounds and it's not stopping.
"Unlikely". He says that, it's a fucking mortal lock.
"Unlikely." kinda like "Inconceivable."
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
"Obombya says, "Die, my subjects, die, already!"
Isn't that what the japs said to thier old people? Die already

"Ebola is here."
*OBAMA SAYS WIDESPREAD OUTBREAK OF EBOLA IN U.S. `UNLIKELY'
Corrected version *Obola says widespread outbreak of Ebola in the U.S. 'UNLIKELY', but he will try his best to make it happen!
Our country already has an African virus which will prove more destructive than Ebola.
That's right. EBOLA stands for. Even Barak Obama Loves Africa.
"...not airborne and the CDC is on the case." Oh, I feel better now.
Yes, they're from the government and they're here to help. Thank you, first available deity!
Next week it will be 'maybe kinda sorta unlikely'.
"well, if i had to guess i'd say...."
I'm so scared! Please take all of my civil rights away!
I'm not so scared of Ebola (yet). What terrifies me is the magnificence of the level of incompetence demonstrated by our elected and bureaucratic leaders.
Some stupidity is expected from those with their snouts in the public trough ... but this is so over the top I really am considering going expat again and I'm 72.
IT'S NOT INCOMPETENCE, FFS!!!
Yay!! To the 1st comment here that hits this on the head.
Of course he upped the threat level. He prolly was reading ZH comments...and saw how easily these folks fell for it..and fuck, if they can fool zh commentors...the rest of sheeple will be a snap.
He said there won't be a WIDESPREAD outbreak. In other words Ebola could go FAR in the USA but not WIDE.
Or maybe deep, like into coal mines or something.
He's a size queen.
I'm pretty sure the Bubonic Plague started out as an 'unlikely ' back in the day.
Just as Martin Dempsey (Chair Joint Chiefs) took a limo ride with Obama and read him the riot act about ISIS, I think he had a real come to Jesus with someone on Ebola.
I think these people are resorting to extortion to get the president to do some semblance of the right thing.
Extortion? Or threats of violence?
busted out the big gun???!!!
;)
And the chances that ISIS will take Baghdad are .. ? unlikely.
With our mobile society and the so far unmentioned/unknown transmission characteristics of Ebola, I suspect there are more than we've been told about and it's about to explode.
To be reported only after the mid terms.
"You lie!"
You Lied (432Hz)
By Andre Damon15 October 2014
The number of new Ebola cases in Africa could grow as high as 10,000 per week, ten times higher than earlier estimates, according to projections the World Health Organization (WHO) reported Tuesday.
Dr. Bruce Aylward, who heads the WHO response to the crisis, said the public health organization now estimates the mortality rate in the countries affected by the outbreak—Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea—to be around 70 percent. Even though earlier statistics had shown a survival rate of around fifty percent, the UN-affiliated organization is now recording “at best 30 percent survival,” he said.
Aylward noted that the impact of the disease in the capitals of the three worst affected countries continue to increase. “Any sense that the great effort that’s been kicked off the last couple of months is already starting to see an impact, that would be really, really premature,” he warned.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/10/15/ebol-o15.html
Of course it is airborne.
even if it isn't, it's grossly irresponsible to downplay the transmission odds with something that can live outside the body for a while. so it may not be airborne, but if you can sneeze or wipe your saliva on something, and then someone comes along 30 minutes later and touches the surface that you sneezed or spit on and infects themselves that way, what the hell is the functional difference? Obama is acting like you have to pour your blood into someone else's throat in order to catch it.
Thus far the evidence is that it is aerosolized and not airborne. It's the difference between spreading like the flu (each patient infects 1-3 others) and the measles (which is truly airborne and each patient infects 15-20 others.)
If ebola ever becomes a truly airborne virus, the entire planet is fucked. It'll be bad enough as it stands.
So we cant catch it from an ebola fart unless it's really wet?
Threat Level RED takes on a new meaning
Next: cautiously optimistic.
We need Yellin to weigh in and tell us its contained.
Or she needs to tell us that if poor would stop being poor then the economy would be better.

Doomgasm much?
Next time he'll give a presser in a Hazmat Suit and tell us it's contained.
I'm hoping that's when he unveils the Axiom and we all get to travel away to deep space for 700 years while the planet recovers. They do have that in their back pockets, don't they?
The time to panic is when the pressers are no longer held in front of a line of random "folks", but against the bare cement walls of his secret bunker of doom.
the time to panic is when he misses both a fundraiser and a tee time - he literally hasn't done that for anything so far. and he's just missed a fundraiser...
"unlikely" in the deep bunkers in Denver
Dc = bivouac of the dead
The.right.thing. You mean from his appointment as POTUS or do the right thing for his handlers?
Is Obama black? Are we sure?
No, he's Harry Mudd from Star Trek because he's alway lying.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzVxsYzXI_Y
Can all our fearless leaders demonstrate their confidence in their own structures, procedures, policies, etc. by putting on the hazmat suits and looking after the nurses in Dallas for a few days - particularly a few days late in the course of the disease where it's really messy? I'd feel a lot more confident if they did that.
No hazmat suits. They can use the exact equipment the infected nurses used. Surgical mask and neck tape, Mr. President?
"Extremely unlikely" meanwhile we have potentially 200 infected people in the United States already and Ebola infested feces swirling around in the sewer.
Come on, obviously they are trying to spread Ebola in the USA to cause mass panic so they can do something crazy like suspend elections.
The fucking president has like a 30% approval rating, there should be systems in place that automatically ejection seat the president out of the white house if his approval rating gets that low.... what if his approval rating was 10%? or 1%??? get this fuckhead out of office already.
Sadly, he is not up for election. But his friends are!
It's true the rats and roaches will inherit the earth.
I'll say it again...
Anyone that wants to know what Ebola is and how it attacks the human body should read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.
Those 70+ health care providers wouldn't have come within 50 feet of Duncan if they were armed with facts...for that matter, Level 4 biosafety trained experts wouldn't have entered that room with anything other than a pressure suit.
Listen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AG7nOdwdlU
could you start with Listen up! next time?
Here is the recent study of disease onset data and suggests 31 days. Apparently a large deciding factor is cost benefit. Regardless, an interesting read about the differences in statistical models.
[url]http://currents.plos.org/outbreaks/article/on-the-quarantine-period-for-...[/url]
[quote]While the 21 day quarantine value currently used may have arose from reasonable interpretation of early outbreak data, this work suggests a reconsideration is in order and that 21 days may not be sufficiently protective to public health. Further, outbreaks such as the current West Africa EBOV are presenting an opportunity for careful collection of data sufficient to revise and update (perhaps in an adaptive fashion) such recommendations. It may be that incubation time itself is a function of intensity and nature of contact21, which may also need to be considered. The estimate of appropriate incubation time would need to explicitly consider the costs and benefits involved in various alternatives, which would incorporate explicit computations from transmission modeling.[/quote]
A recent report from the WHO shows timeframe of disease onset.The graphs do show a few cases falling outside the base 21 day window, but 95% within that time period.
[url]http://www.nejm.org/action/showImage?doi=10.1056%2FNEJMoa1411100&iid=f03[/url]
. WHO did note that time to onset of symptoms seems to have increased from previous outbreaks...very interesting stats.

Mr. Obola, can you get Ebola from a blow-job?
That you reggie?
Flashback: http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1932366,00.html
Vaccinate wisely.
GOOD FIND!
+1
the article discusses a two tier vaccination system. the better vaccine to the political elite and military. the more side effect prone vaccine to the general public. but they would never do that in America? Good to the point article.
These Ebola stricken patients should never be allowed inside a hospital and once it's determined they have Ebola they need to be removed and taken to a triage center where only Ebola patients are serviced. In no way should hospitals have to deal with this nonsense. In effectively quarantining Ebola we will need to take some drastic measures and this government is not up to it. Obama is over his head or he's just doesn't give a damn about your public safety and health. If this is not addressed properly some of these public hospitals could and will become uninhabitable because of the threat of the virus. Then what?
I wonder how in the hell anyone can take Obama seriously at this point in time.
yep. there's going to more patients because of Dallas. he wasn't even isolated for the first 24 hours, and his blood samples were moving thru the same tubes as everyone else's.
oh, and CDC? how in all that is holy are you allowing someone who just treated an Ebola patient get on an F'ing commercial flight?
Apparently someone wasn't CC'd on the follow-up CDC protocol memo which said to disregard all the previous (and any future publicly released) memos due to "necessary" lies to keep the sheeple sedate.
Is this president ruling much different than your garden variety African (pick a country) 'leader'...? The Supreme Irony...
Scotland?
Take the next 5 days and buy all the things you might need for 90 days of in-home vacation.
So that when the situation changes for the worst you won’t have to be in the stores, and if things get better, well you won’t have to go shopping for awhile.
Then it will be Christmas and you could give your over bought stuff as gifts.
My brother will get the Lima beans and canned hash.
4 weeks ago this is what President Obama said "the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low."
But one has already started. We have 2 confirmed cases so far.
So now he is telling us it probably won't become "widespread" (whatever that means).
What he didn't say: "Now leave me alone so I can get back to my golf game."
We're making progress but we still can do better.... fucking clueless douche
Are we now parsing Obama, just as we did Clinton?
Don't you realize we do not need to parse. You cannot believe ANYTHING he says. Period.
Post-election it will be the "woops, mistakes were made" meme, and the threat level will get a booster.
We infected some folks.
Al +100. hahahhaha
Hope and change fukkerz.
Reality and Obama ...... completely disconnected !
if he believes its not airborne, then go visit some of the ebola patients ...... that dipshit is a drain on the universe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
