    The current Ebola crisis began in Africa 6 months ago.

    We knew there was the potential for it coming here the whole time.

    And we weren't prepared, and we didn't know we weren't prepared.

    Why is Frieden still in this job? I wouldn't trust him to run a horse show association.

    Because they are going to be better prepared than the Dallas people?

    Nah, you're thinking of Columbus. The guy who discovered a continent. I heard he made a few bucks on it.

    "In the video, you see Vinson being loaded onto the plane in a yellow biohazard suit, followed by health workers in white biohazard suits. But there's also a guy holding a clipboard who appears to be helping the crew. He's not wearing ANY protective gear.

    Many people have asked why. 2 Wants to Know's news partners at KVUE in Austin found the medical airline said he didn't need the gear. In fact, they say he wasn't wearing any on purpose! Our news partners at KVUE say the airline said he's their medical protocol supervisor. They said the biohazard suits have limited vision and mobility. So the protocol supervisor watches carefully and gives verbal directions to ensure no contact protocols are violated."

    There are certain people who are talking about a travel ban to prevent more Ebola cases. Using the logic of a ban, wouldn't a ban on guns prevent more people from being shot?

    TPM:

    Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said during a Wednesday interview with NewsmaxTV that he's concerned the Islamic State may use Ebola as a weapon against the U.S.

    The interviewer referenced comments made by a professor of national security affairs who last week said he feared that ISIS fighters could use Ebola as a weapon if they infected themselves and traveled to the U.S.

    "Well, it’s certainly something I’ve been thinking about ever since this Ebola outbreak started," Johnson said. "You really don’t even want to think about. You don’t even really want to talk about, but we should do everything possible to defend ourselves against that possibility because I think that is a real and present danger."
