Ebola, the new Normal

The arrogance of ineptitude has been on display for all Americans to see as our Federal Government Officials continually fumble during this critical time period attempting to  respond to and the potential Ebola Outbreak within our borders. We no longer have secure borders so it would seem that alone will make the effort even tougher but our illustrious leaders continue to plod along apparently not understanding the history of the middle ages and the great plague. The basic and simple concept of containing a contagion through isolation and quarantine for a minimum of 40 days is apparently completely lost on the political wizards in Washington D.C. It is hard to politicize a deadly and non-discriminating deadly microbe but they certainly are trying very hard to accomplish this.

I find it rather silly to say that we cannot isolate the area where this deadly virus is virulent because it would be mean and insensitive to the races and cause them to scatter like rabbits from a discovered warren. Why American Politicians feel we  must allow the free movement around the globe of potential carrier is beyond understanding. The rest of the world still retains some semblance of common sense by blocking travel from and to their respective countries, good for them. 

I suppose the idea that if there were a Super Wall Mart in your community that was found to have diseased and infected fruit being displayed and sold would somehow not qualify for immediate closing, clearing and cleaning to remove the threat and protect the neighborhood from potentially deadly illness because the store was located on the edge of a distressed neighborhood and would look like discrimination and hurt race relations in the community. I guess the logic is that we will all die equally horribly so it remains fair throughout the death process. 

The people in Washington D.C. just don't know what they don't know and will never admit it publicly because that may change the perception of the party so they just keep covering up their ineptitude by saying things like, "It's hard to stop Ebola" , Dr. Friedan and our protocols are correct, for today. They have known about Ebola becoming a problem since March 2014 and yet they have no idea of what constitutes real personal protective for Nurses.

Why aren't all cases in one location? Why do all hospitals have different protective gear? Why has air born dissemination been completely ruled out when clearly you exhale through your nose and basically create a steam based air born delivery system for deadly microbes to attach themselves to and float through the air to land any where?

This is getting comical and would be funny if it weren't so deadly. I see it as the Bad News Bears taking on the New York Yankees in a one game playoff, loser dies.
