| State Department plans to bring foreign ebola patients to the U.S. |
| 2014-10-29 |
| [Wash Times] The State Department has quietly made plans to bring Ebola-infected doctors and medical aides to the U.S. for treatment, according to an internal department document that argued the only way to get other countries to send medical teams to West Africa is to promise that the U.S. will be the world’s medical backstop. Some countries “are implicitly or explicitly waiting for medevac assurances” before they will agree to send their own medical teams to join U.S. and U.N. aid workers on the ground, the State Department argues in the undated four-page memo, which was reviewed by The Washington Times. Well appears we now know what the government's ebola isolation transport unit build is all about. |

| #1 that's appalling they ditch the isolation transport unit back in 2010 all that expertise is lost. now they try to build a new one from scratch on the fly - which you just can't replace decades of expertise and training from thin air like that but worse - they will use it to bring the rest of the world to the US You should be out on the streets with pitchforks. That just isn't right. Look: the rest of the world will NOT thank you for helping. They will only blame you more when the experimental vaccine fails or when black people die in US hospitals they'll say they were killed or some equally stupid paranoid fantasy Tell Saudi Arabia to take them |
