Ebola Has Made It To the United States

An anonymous reader sends news that the CDC has confirmed the first case of Ebola diagnosed on U.S. soil. An unnamed patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas was placed in isolation while awaiting test results for the dreaded virus. Apparently, the patient had traveled recently to a West African country, where the disease is spreading, and later developed symptoms that suggested Ebola. A blood specimen from the patient was sent to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, a testing process that can take 24 to 48 hours to confirm an Ebola infection — or not. The results came back about 3:32 p.m. In other Ebola news, outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal appear to be completely contained.

Oh - and thank goodness. Why SHOULDN'T first world countries get to share the misery of their less fortunate bretheren, anyway?

Are we together on this dismal spinning chunk of rock in the middle of nothing or not?

Republicans have been pouring Ebola victims into this country for a few weeks now. The only surprise is that this took this long. The best publicized case was when they tried to infect Atlanta then blamed Obama. The Republican hate us and want us to die.

Corruption also leads to poverty, since people don't work hard if their property will be stolen.

You mean income redistribution? What country are you talking about here?

CDC = Rockerfeller created and controlled entity

[Anonymous Coward]

For Population reduction.

"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller.

And yet sheep trust this extremely corrupt entity called the CDC, created and ran covertly by the Rockefellers. They are the ones directly responsible for brining Ebola into the United States.

Ask yourself, how did Ebola even Arrive in the USA? And end up in Dallas TX of all places?

Can't wait for this revolution.

Contact != transmission of an illness, aka infection.
