Just when you thought the Ebola crisis couldn\u2019t get worse, it got worse.\u00a0 It turns out that a lab surpvisor from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, who apparently worked on the blood on the Ebola victim, decided this was a great time for a cruise:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/ebola-scare-creates-utter-panic-caribbean-cruise-ship\/story?id=26276019<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine this October surprise.\u00a0 You are on a cruise ship.\u00a0 Suddenly there is announcement saying \u201cthat someone who worked in the lab who handled the person in Dallas\u2019s blood was on the ship.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>Then you learn that the cruise ship has placed her in isolation, but don\u2019t worry because there\u2019s no risk. And by the way, the ship is headed back to Texas, because no other port will let you dock.<\/p>\n

The following article includes an eye witness account of life on board that ship:<\/p>\n

Though the cruise line has not released the name of the passenger or her location, the Malones fear that her room may be on their floor because when Jeremy walked outside his room this morning, he saw a group of 30 to 40 workers gathered with buckets of what looked like cleaning chemicals.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Some of them had masks on,\u201d Jon Malone said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“They had a pink liquid in clear spray bottles and they had little wagons that had grey containers – like mop buckets – filled with chemicals,\u201d he said. “They’re cleaning elevators. I\u2019ve seen people with pink liquid cleaning the bar area and the handrails.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How about that seafood buffet?<\/p>\n

John Kerry, who hasn\u2019t noticed the Marine imprisoned in Mexico for making the wrong turn lept into action on this one.\u00a0 Kerry called the Belizean Prime Minister and begged him to allow the ship to dock so the passenger to be evacuated. He was turned down.\u00a0 Then he tried to arrange for a helicopter evacuation to a medevac plane but that was turned down too. It turns out the Belizean Prime Minister is not about to take advice from John Kerry.<\/p>\n

This is insane.\u00a0 Obama is wondering if he needs to consider a travel ban for people traveling to and from West Africa.\u00a0 It is far too late for that.\u00a0 If anything, we are likely to see a travel ban for anyone traveling to or from the United States.<\/p>\n

We already know that the CDC let someone who now has Ebola travel on a Frontier Airlines flight, even after she reported having a fever. We also know that Obama starred in a video for people in West Africa saying that you can\u2019t get Ebola from sitting next to someone on a bus.\u00a0 He missed the part where the CDC said if you have Ebola symptom don\u2019t take public transportation because you might expose others to the disease.\u00a0 Impressive!<\/p>\n

So what could make this worse?\u00a0 Easy, appoint an Ebola czar and have him report to both Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco.\u00a0 Susan Rice is the person famous for spouting utter nonsense on all the Sunday talk shows following Benghazi.\u00a0 Lisa Monaco is the Homeland Security Advisor who inspired people to call for an Ebola czar in the first place.\u00a0 Then pick someone who was Chief of Staff for both Al Gore and Joe Biden, possibly the only two people in the country less qualified to be President than Barack Obama.\u00a0 Oh, by the way, he had a key role in approving the $535 million loan to Solyndra. I think the real problem here is that anyone acceptable to Obama is extremely unlikely to be qualified for the position. It is increasingly difficult to be optimistic about this.<\/p>\n

The good news is that the U.S. health care community will just ignore these clowns and do the necessary themselves. They are not about to rely solely on the CDC to deal with this and that is very good news.\u00a0 They will review the CDC guidelines, but they will also apply something totally missing in Washington, D.C., logic and common sense.\u00a0 In addition, we are going to see other people step in to the gap with some common sense recommendations to greatly reduce the risk. Following is an example of exactly that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re:\u00a0 Ebola Situation & PrecautionsTo our friends, clients, and trading partners:<\/p>\n

I spoke with a friend of mine this morning who is a physician who specializes in infectious diseases.\u00a0 He said that the infectious diseases medical community is becoming very concerned about a potential outbreak of Ebola\u2026\u00a0 more than is being indicated in the press.\u00a0 He is also concerned that Ebola could mutate.\u00a0 Watch the movie Outbreak<\/em> if you want to know what could happen if Ebola breaks out.\u00a0 God help us if this happens.<\/p>\n

Our organization is taking the Ebola threat very seriously.\u00a0 We are starting to implement \u00a0precautions so that our employees avoid contracting and spreading Ebola.\u00a0 We encourage you to take the same precautions in your business and personal lives.<\/p>\n
