From Judicial Watch:
Obama Plans to Let Ebola-infected Foreigners Into U.S. for Treatment
Let me start here - if the Administration is planning to treat any Liberian who can score an airline ticket, that is insane.
However, there is a tremendous shortage of doctors in the affected countries and a desperate need for volunteers from around the world. However, a doctor has to be a rare combination of saint and lunatic to enter a situation with an infectious, deadly disease, suppy shortages and unsafe facilities.
The US military is working on building new facilities. But an added inducement/reassurance to doctors would be the knowledge that they will be treated in a somewhat safer and better equipped environment than is currently available in West Africa. Which, since you ask, is essentially the current practice although the system is getting overwhelmed.
So the Administration might be entertaining the notion that the US airlift capability will be used to whisk infected foreign volunteers back to appropriate facilities in the US, France, or wherever. Right now there is a shortage of air services ready and willing to med-evac people, as well as a paucity of places to take them.
Yes, the notion sounds a bit daft, and I assume that a number of countries (France, Spain, the UK, Italy, Canada) will be happy to treat their own volunteers. But would it really be unreasonable if we treated a volunteer doctor from Columbia or Mexico or India in the US? Plan B, sending those doctors home and hoping the locals don't screw up as badly as we did in Dallas could end in global disaster.
Yes, I know - this would go down a bit easier if we had any confidence in the Insane Clown Posse ostensibly running this show. Well. You go to pandemic with the President you have, not the President you want...

Klain's sordid history includes
Denying or eliminating from the Florida recount in 2000 absentee military ballots. All of this with Gore's approval which is why I have always despised Gore.
Klain also advised Holder and company on bypassing protocol in the Marc Rich pardon case that was initiated by Clinton. Neither Rich's ex-wife or her friend Beth from Coloras=do {ski buddies} ever suffered any consequences from taking the 5th and refusing to testify.
Anytime he is involved Klain manages to spin his out and to muddy the waters with false meme. He was appointed to show Obama doing something. Unfortunately is is nothing more than a spin doctor who has to answer to liar Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco. Meanwhile The new head of HHS steers clear of the broken down bus of this administration.

Insane Clown Posse? You're giving Obozo's bunch too much credit with that moniker.
As for Klain? The new Ebola Czar missed the first staff meeting on the Ebola situation. His job is to run political interference, not deal with the health problem. He's a political Doctor, not an MD or Epidemiologist. (Although a tidal wave sized outbreak of BS occurs wherever Klain goes--that's what he's good at, and it's why Obozo appointed him.)

sbw: You are spot-on in your comments as is Iggy.
With dems calling them unpatriotic allows them the platform to mock you. Show with the numbers how their prog policies don't work. Call them on the untruths. On the Five yesterday, Beckel said it's the campaign season and democrats are going to lie . How did we get from "misspoke" to "Hey, dems will lie to achieve their ends"?
If the dems are proven liars why should we vote for them. We must expose them as liars. I loved the women on the show questioning how weird it was that Crist always needs a fan. We laughed hysterically at my house because my children and their father all have their own fans.We didn'r realize other people are strange like us.

Could it be that doctors are failing to heed the call of the Global Village Idiots due to the fact there is no "treatment" to administer? Does rehydration require a doctor or someone who can find a vein?
What's the count on beds available in facilities which have a chance at containing the disease? Will there be beds available for survivors from Camp Abandon Hope upon their return? Remember - we're stretching the time the bed is used here in the US considerably. The average time in the isolation hospices is calculated to be 6-8 days from admittance to burial or cremation (12 days for those making a vertical exit). Brantly was at Emory for 20 days, Duncan's bed was available in 11 days.
I don't anticipate a surge of doctors into Liberia regardless of whether we offer a "guarantee" of treatment should they become ill.

You're being naive if you don't think 404 isn't going to push another far left hack for AG, maryrose, and get the hack thru before Christmas.

I think one of the reasons he is angry is that all these very public screwups make it much harder to sell the long-intended template for controlling the Western economies and people generally.
How do you realistically sell the idea that people's view of government needs to be rehabilitated?

There is no bloody way any of Klain's "skills" are going to help in this Ebola situation.
You can't spin a hemorrhagic virus.
Total transparency, honest communication, and no blaming is the only way we will keep this from becoming the disaster it has potential to be.
And there is no need to have any doctor or nurse exposed to Ebola--there's absolutely nothing anybody more responsible than a 12 year old can do for these people once they are infected. Bring in the grandmothers to care for these people!
(My 82 year old mother told my 24 year old son, who has been working with a clinic in Sierra Leone for the past two years, that she would go over in his place if he felt compelled to go back .)
I could make the medical decisions that need to be made for these people from this couch I'm sitting on. The difference in survival in Liberia between being cared for at home--70% mortality--and the hospital--67% mortality. Absolutely not worth losing a nurse over.
It's an unbelievable waste to be losing these doctors and nurses.

Obama has refused to ban commercial travel from heavily infected countries. We know from centuries of history, and recent experience by countries N AFRICA, that this works to stop the spread of ebola.
The President, and the Democrats generally, are responsible for Every single American who contracts ebola, and every single American who dies from it. Every single death is on their heads, just as surely as if they'd taken a gun and shot the victims personally. Every single one.
There. Simple. Straightforward. And completely true.

I am wondering about the article I posted from the female doctor from Nigeria who survived Ebola.
She drank a lot of a rehydrating fluid. A lot, to the point she had to force herself.
I wonder if the drinking of fluids flushes it out or prevents it from attacking organs. (I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV, so this is just speculation.)
Posted by: Miss Marple | October 18, 2014 at 01:32 PM
Re: to moonlight dancer.
There is a technical term known as LD50 which indicates the amount of a poisonous substance required to kill 50% of the population it is administered too. It seems to me that Ebola is a disease where the lethality just happens to be balanced at 70%. The rest is luck.

First of all, Obama is real angry at his own people. Those who are elected as democrats.
You can ask, how exactly will these people come in? Passengers need to buy seats on different modes of transportation.
You think Enterprise will lend them cars?
That people who work for the TSA will be willing to stand close ... and rub them up and down with gloved hands? (Of course, while wearing masks.) This is NOT going to go over well.
But as a magic wand, Obama is inflicting pain on his own assortment of political dregs.
Why is he so angry at them?
And, doesn't he understand he's pouring gasoline on his own reputation ... which is up in flames, already?
There's a small possibility that come January, and a new Congress takes its oaths ... a democrat (from the minority) will aim for impeachment. Why? Because you tell me, the GOP would dare to say "no?"
Posted by: Carol Herman | October 18, 2014 at 01:45 PM
TK, Brantley was infected, bleeding into his gut, and would likely have died had he not been transported,OK?? Samaritan's Purse shelled out for his transport, not you.
What the heck is your problem with doctors? I'm sorry if you ran into the very few who are assholes, but the vast majority are some of the best people who walk this planet. Who completely give up over a decade of their lives to learn what they need to know to just start taking care of people. If you aren't happy with the care you got, about 90% of the fault is on the government and its regulations.
Get some help and get over your bad experience, because if the shit hits the fan and you get sick, you need to ally with your doctor, not be an adversary.
He was also 33 years old, and probably very healthy--I'm betting he didn't smoke, and if he ever drank, it was minimal. He survived because he got outstanding fluid repletion , transfusions from survivors and the very last dose of that Zmapp stuff.
And he'll be the first to tell--probably millions of people were praying for him.
It can't hurt.
Posted by: anonamom | October 18, 2014 at 01:53 PM
MM, can you repost that link to the doctor who survived in Nigeria?
Unlikely that she "flushed" anything out--just that she was able to get enough fluid in to replenish the fluid that leaves her blood stream with the bleeding and diarrhea.
But her account is something everyone who wants to comment intelligently about this needs to read. It's three pages long, but outlines what kind of facilities can be effective in hot spots.
Posted by: anonamom | October 18, 2014 at 01:57 PM
"It's an unbelievable waste to be losing these doctors and nurses."
I find it extraordinarily believable. There isn't one second in any day when human sacrifice isn't practiced by progressive fascists. It's who they are, it's what they do, it's what they have always done.
The reality is that they already recognize that doctors and nurses aren't going to willingly climb the steps of the progressive Aztec pyramid to experience the final moment of glory on the altar.
That's why the progressive slime has ordered American troops to be sacrificed in their place.

Posted by: anonamom | October 18, 2014 at 02:18 PM
An interesting point brought up by a local respected Pollster on local Alaskan Talk Radio the other day.
The Pollster said, lets assume it's Election night. Lets assume the Repubs have picked up 5 new Senate seats. So one remaining Senate Seat could tip the balance.
Well the last Senate seat in play is Alaska's, and our polls will still be open until Midnight East Coast time, so we will be well aware of the results of the important contests from the Elections back East and the National spotlight will once again be on us.
Will the MSM and local Media (all left) and outside Dem money be doing it's damnedest during those last few hours to do anything possible to damn the Right and get voters to the polls? Probably.
His point was that all eyes would once again be on Alaska (since Hawaii's Election is a forgone conclusion), and he was wondering how nasty and vicious it would in the closing hours.
What made me think about this was that last night my doorbell rang and some aggressive lady with a clipboard knocked on my door and shoved some out of state "Research Triangle" Survey in my hand that she essentially demanded I respond to, related to HealthCare and obviously with a political agenda. I told her I was uninterested in her survey and shoved it back at her and she responded accusatorially so I told her to get off my porch and I angrily shut the door. That was the first time I can recall anyone other than Trick or Treaters or Mormon Missionaries or the Fedex Driver knocking on my door. Her "guilt tripping" tactic struck me as almost as personally offensive as the girl in the video screaming in that restaurant about people eating Chicken, so I wondered if this was part of the Left's pre-election effort to use paid workers under the guise of some BS Federally funded Health Survey, to get my personal info so they could work on getting a database to get voters to the polls, since traditionally we have a very lower voter turnout on Election Day. She sure didn't strike me as some Tea Party type.

This is not quite the same as the one I found the other day. I will continue to look for that.
Because she is a woman of faith, and because it is a highly detailed description, it seems to have been picked up by different web sites and formatted slightly differently.
There are also descriptions now listed from other Ebola survivors. Googling "How I survived Ebola" pulls up quite a few articles from Africans, with varying degrees of helpfulness.

Long ago I considered going to med school. (I beat out the pre-med students for an A in zoology.)
My son was in grade school and I felt the pressure to earn money, as Mr. He Who Has Decamped was not liking me not providing a return on his investment. So I opted for geology as a major, instead.
I always wished that I had gone ahead anyway. I appreciate doctors because they have kept me in fairly good shape over the years, despite my not living the most healthy of life styles. (Here, have some chicken fried steak and white gravy when you finish that double martini.)
I assume when the critics get sick they will go see Suzanne Somers or one of those shamans. LOL!

Dr. Brantley was being polite to the president, which is what most non-political people do. He has been a missionary in Liberia for many years and no doubt has a deep personal connection to her people.
If you want to get the US government to help, you need support from the party in power, which you do not get by handing out gratuitous insults.
Leave the insults to people like me. I am not a missionary nor a doctor, and I can think of plenty to hand out.

“The answer is not simply to close the borders and let them deal with it themselves,” he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper
The "simply" and "and" are important parts of his comment. It's consistent with what Dr. Ben Carson says, to paraphrase, "Of course close the borders, but send resources to Africa to help stop the epidemic, because otherwise it will inevitably spread and become harder to keep out."

You have given your opinion about Dr. Brantley. anonmom has given hers.
Posting over and over again, criticisms on him does not make you right.
It's boring and insulting, so I am asking you to stop. That's all.

the problem, that doesn't jibe with the way Firestone has dealt with the problem, or Nigeria,
or even aspects of Sierra Leone, the good doctor could recover, because he was administered a very laborious treatment protocol, if there were a hundred such cases, it's unlikely this would have been the case,

She's seen my vehicles, boat and houses, lyle. I think she suspects I may have $3,650 hanging around somewhere...

And, she's on her way to the lake right now. It's gonna be an E-ticket ride, for sure. Holy cow! I must be nuts.
Don't answer that! :)

I appreciate you asking. But I doubt I will stop.
I am not happy with the circus he participated in and I don't think that dissatisfaction is best healed by making decisions on whether he is better than me or not.
Am I supposed to post how many lives I have saved to be on team "moral high-ground?"
That is not how I roll.

Go figure this one:
My sister's son, a 56-year- old former F-18 pilot, very fit (and movie-star handsome) went back to NYC last weekend for some movie award function. Monday afternoon he became violently ill, with vomiting, high fever, muscle and joint pain, and diminishing myscle control. He was taken to Mount Sinai by ambulance. Since Tuesday norning he has been paralyzed from the waist up, and is in the neurological ICU and is heavily sedated with a breathing tube. Yesterday he moved his arm once;he has been able to communicate by moving his eyebrows.
They immediately ruled out Ebola and Guillaume-Barré, but as yet have been able to make a diagnosis. Their best guess right now is West Nile Disease. They do express confidence that he will make a complete recovery.
They have also ruled out the enterovirus D-68.

I have nothing but respect for your knowledge and skills, anonamom, but I am genuinely puzzled by your two statements, in close position above:
And there is no need to have any doctor or nurse exposed to Ebola--there's absolutely nothing anybody more responsible than a 12 year old can do for these people once they are infected.
vs.
TK, Brantley was infected, bleeding into his gut, and would likely have died had he not been transported,
