The republicans don't bother to put it in the platform, they just allow it.
My co-worker's daughter has been working on it her entire research career.
As Amoebus mentioned above Ebola has been here for years; the CDC's BSL-4 lab has had it and been studying probably longer than some of us have been posting on the BS.
Properly contained it makes perfect sense to transport the 2 doctors here; we have better facilities and treatment modalities in the US and these 2 heroes deserved every chance to recover.
I'm attaching a link for those concerned about transmission; it is nowhere near as easily spread as airborne viruses such as influenza and with strict adherence to universal precautions risk of transmission is minimal.
Of course with a fatality rate of up to 90% adherence damn well better be strict!

Paranoid knee jerk reaction. Do you also believe they would endanger themselves and their families purposely?
C'mo folks.

I just wish I had more faith in the CDC. They've been mentioned an awful lot in the news lately, and it hasn't been favorable.
How much faith do you place on the "news"? News people today do not report the news they make the news.

"News people today do not report the news they make the news."
Really. You don't say! Well, when it comes to the CDC, news people didn't make the news, the CDC made it themselves. They are mandated to report all such incidents. And it's relatively easy to find.
You should know better.
Stop. They are mandated by what and who? If there was an outbreak of epic proportions the last to know would be you and I. Like every other org. they are not permitted to cause a panic. The other point was just made in by DL. RESEARCH means MONEY....for everyone connected with the health care industry now the largest contributors to the economy. Its DOLLARS boss just like crime is dollars.
I think you may have to reel in your " faith" of everything you read, see and what are told.
