[TheRealThing]

It was recently confirmed that a nurse who had treated Ebola victim Thomas Duncan has now herself come down with the disease.

Listening to doctors affiliated with the CDC and others bloviate about Ebola, one might get the idea that it is very difficult to contract. And yet, to me there have always been inconsistencies with that premise. I understand that folks out in the African bush would be far more susceptible than say those who have been adequately forewarned or even hospital staff who have training. And, that such folks in their ignorance, are therefore largely responsible for their own demise. That being the case, the obvious outlier in all this is the number of medical personnel who have fallen ill. Even in 3rd world countries, doctors and nurses are trained well enough to avoid catching Ebola if it truly is as hard to get as they have been saying. Not to mention the two Americans who originally returned home sick of Ebola and got well. You would have to think they knew better. But the point is this, if they can't dodge the bullet how can normal people, who are in no way trained be expected to succeed?

The nurse in Dallas wore the approved PPE for dealing with folks ill with Ebola and yet, she has it. Now it seems another recent traveler coming in from Liberia is now under observation and testing in the Boston area. Is anybody else as incensed as I am about this lunacy? Are people of this country really stupid enough to believe the CDC spin which states that it would make the spread of Ebola worse if we stop importing it via commercial air from West Africa? Thanks to our open border concept, at least one innocent American is sick with Ebola and who knows how many ultimately will succumb to this thing? I mean, absolutely anybody who can hide his symptoms can hop a jet and fly over here.

And, though we all realize that Texas and Massachusetts are both more than a 15 hour drive from Northern Kentucky, you may still see Ebola coming to a neighborhood near you. Remember those 3,000 US troops headed for Africa to help fight Ebola?

EXCERPT---
"The Army's 101st Airborne Division, based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, will provide about 700 of those soldiers, while the other 700 will be mostly combat engineers culled from Army units across the force, Defense Department spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters."
