How is the administration doing in the fight against Ebola?

2014-10-28T19:14:00-04:00

I heard a report on CNN today that said the US population is split (50-50) in their opinion of how the Obama administration is handling the Ebola problem.

Then I heard that the double standard of quarantining military for 21 days and not quarantining civilians for 21 days is problematic, in the opinion of experts.

What do you think? Is the administration doing a good job of dealing with Ebola?

CNN poll: Americans confident in Ebola response - CNNPolitics.com

Ebola is very much on the minds of Americans, as 8 in 10 Americans believe someone new will be diagnosed with the disease in the coming weeks. But there is overwhelming confidence in the federal government's ability to prevent a nationwide epidemic, a new CNN/ORC International Poll shows.

I don't think they're doing as good a job as they could!

Pretty much tells you they are not taking it seriously when their Czar has no medical experience. Tell states they can create procedures but only if the administration agrees to them. And now I have heard rumors the administration wants to bring some of the infected to the states for treatment. What happened to the CDC saying it needed to be contained their. Oh ya that's right even the CDC is confused about what they are doing.

Also pisses me off that the nurse in Jersey was complaining the the quarantine was in humane, really! She goes down to Africa to show she cares for people and help her resume but to hell with the folks back home. Nothing but pure selfishness.

Great question. Clearly the government is doing a horrible job on containing and neutralizing the ebola virus. Like MSgt Private RallyPoint Member stated, how do you put someone in charge of something when they have ZERO knowledge or experience on the subject? It's like if one is looking to fill the director of a large hospital but the position is given to a 10 year experienced mechanic. Makes no sense. It also doesn't make sense the government doesn't wish to contain the virus by restricting flights coming into the country because it may help cause the spread of the virus. This is like a flood going through a town destroying buildings and the such but the mayor doesn't want to build levees because it'll cause the floods to grow. Totally insane!!!
