The Federal Government Has Left America Defenseless Against Ebola

Emory Hospital in Atlanta to Receive Ebola Patient

Atlanta’s CBS46 News is reporting that “within days” an Ebola patient will soon be transferred to Emory Hospital in Atlanta. No details were provided except to say that the patient is an American and a health care worker who was assisting in the treatment of the Ebola virus when they contracted it.

We, as Americans may have the worst regular healthcare in the Western world. The United States has only the 51st longest lifespan (behind Cuba at 50th) due to the scourge of managed care and now Obamacare, however, the United States still has the best emergency critical care in the world. Our life-sustaining treatments following accidents or acute illness are beyond compare. Further, our expertise in treating and containment of potential pandemic viruses and diseases is also the best in the world. Therefore, when an American healthcare worker contracts Ebola in the treatment of the virus, this should be front page news on every radio station, TV station and newspaper in the country. This is the proverbial canary in the mine.

This CBS 46 minor press release should speak volumes about the gravity of the situation regarding the actual spread of Ebola. IF the best critical care system in the world cannot prevent one of its own from contracting Ebola, there is an obvious lack of knowledge on display with regard to the transmission of this deadly virus which kills 90% of its victims within days as the patient’s organs literally dissolve as the person bleeds out of every orifice before succumbing.

I am certainly not a doctor, but I talk to medical experts and the gravity of this previous statement, within a statement, cannot be overstated. When, not if, Ebola gains a firm foothold in the United States, where are people going to go for treatment? Ebola patients will be inundating their local healthcare facilities and will be treated by medical personnel who will have no idea how to contain the deadly virus. In Africa, containment procedures are not protecting healthcare workers. Soon, the same will be true in the United States.

It is an understatement to proclaim that the United States is utterly defenseless in the fight against Ebola. Further, our nation’s officials lack of action, that I would characterize as abject stupidity and ignorance, is going to prove responsible for hastening this pandemic within our country as Patient Zero, Patrick Sawyer, was responsible for exposing, according to the CDC, 30,000 people to the virus. My calculations based upon connecting flights, associated with Patient Zero, tell us that 10 times that number were exposed within six hours of this man boarding and deplaning. Containment was lost at this point. And our knowledge about transmission is woefully misunderstood as the CDC cannot even keep their own story straight.

A Stunning Revelation
