Obama Calls For A Medical 'Swat Team' To Fight Ebola
2014-10-17
[BREITBART] President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
called for monitoring the spread of the Ebola virus "in a much more aggressive way" after a top-level White House meeting.

He directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to organize and send what he referred to as a medical "SWAT team" within 24 hours of a diagnosis.

Just out of curiousity, what whould be a special weapons and tactics vs. Ebola....chlorine chambers and furnaces? Sounds like a young (wo)(wy)(metro)(poetic)man's job, some grads from the FEMA youth brigade.

#5  Still a bit vague in Texas, from Dallas Morning News:
TEXAS HEALTH WORKERS ORDERED TO STAY HOME
A judge says dozens of hospital employees who had contact with the man who died of Ebola are being asked to sign legal documents agreeing not to go to public places or use mass transit.

Signing a document is not the same thing as a legally binding order - maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but this doesn't say.
In the bad old days of smallpox and diphtheria epidemics, local officials had no qualms about issuing legally binding notices & nailing posters on people's front doors while posting law enforcement personnel nearby.

#3  If you cook your bush meat to an internal temp of 185 deg F, you should be just fine.

#1  Bushmeat biltong (jerky). Shouldn't be too difficult to avoid that menu selection.
