BY A NOSE!

This is absolutely unbelievable.  No matter how skeptical one becomes about this administration, things turn out to be worse than we could imagine. Now the CDC has “quietly” released posters on its website warning that Ebola can be spread by a sneeze:

 “If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be” infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.

“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,” 

Talk about an October surprise. After arrogantly telling us we didn’t understand science and you can’t get Ebola from sitting next to someone on the bus, it turns out you could get it from touching the door handle on the way out.

I strongly suspect that Ebola is a lot harder to catch than this implies and that is the real shame.  If they just told people the truth, things would be a lot calmer.  The only thing we know now is that this administration refuses to tell the truth, about anything.  That means the information regarding Ebola is going to come from a lot of sources, most of them wrong.  The CDC has lost the last shred of credibility.  Obama appointing a spin doctor to be Ebola czar and then doing a photo op in the same room with people who may be at risk makes this even worse.

There are reports that there are only 13 hospital rooms in the entire country are capable of properly handling an Ebola patient.  This is a recipe for disaster. FDR famously said the only thing we need to fear is fear itself.  Unfortunately that is no longer true.  What we need to fear is a totally inept government capable to taking any crisis and through inept mismanagement making things geometrically worse.

Governor’s Cuomo and Christy suddenly look a lot better today, because they at least tried to deal with this responsibly.  The doctor who traveled all over New York even after he had symptoms was incredibly irresponsible.  So is the nurse  defying any attempt to quarantine her because she arrogantly believes her medical expertise will protect the world from Ebola.

We are paying a terrible price for promoting junk science.  For years we have been inundated with proof of global warming when behind the scenes real scientists were warning us that this was a big fraud.  The global warming hysteria only cost tax payers billions of dollars and devastated our economy.  The damage from pretending Ebola is under control is incalculable.

  1. The pictures on the news of the nurse in Maine who likes to ride her bike in spite of an order to confine herself at home are a shame. If she has Ebola, then her Husband certainly has it also. News clip of him paying of a Pizza with cash??! Who is to say that the delivery person has not now been exposed from secondary contact with the cash!!!! How ignorant is that? If I personally could have been exposed, I would stay by myself voluntarily for the 21 days! Who the hell gave her the right to potentially expose others?

  2. Also interesting to note that 13% of victims DO NOT develop a fever before developing a viral load that can be retransmitted!
