(2,807 posts)Yeah, I think I did, of the denialist variety. No, science didn't say it, some scientists did, but I would say that what you are comparing here is a huge apple and a tiny orange. Are you saying that Ebola is airborne? Why don't you just come out and say it. Yell it why don't you. Instead of implying it over and over on a discussion board, why don't you just go out on the street corner and yell it out.
You served in the military did ya, good for you. None of that has anything to do with what the General decided to do when they got back to Italy. If you say Obama ordered that, then fine, say it all you want. I say that decision was made by that General and not by the Commander in Chief. But what you really want to do is bash the admin about a double standard or some such shit.
I am going to say it again, plain and simple, if you are in a position of authority and proclaim that a disease is more contagious than it is, then you are acting irresponsibly. There is ONE person in the US known to have ebola. That's right O-N-E. Even that family that lived with the first ebola infected man from Liberia in Dallas has managed to stay ebola free. They lived in a small apartment with him for days before, during, and after he was sick, really sick. If things were as you Christyites profess, they would all be dead and gone by now.
The President is playing it correctly. Christy is an asshat that should be jailed for his stupidity and the harm it will do to the real effort being conducted by mostly volunteers in Africa. Anything that slows the process of containing ebola in West Africa is criminal.
I bet you are not going to cocktail parties either.
