The mouthpiece of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Thomas Frieden, thinks Americans should calm down about the whole Ebola outbreak and just trust the government. In the event of more Ebola cases, he recently stated, the CDC is now considering simply shipping patients off to one of the four facilities in the U.S. equipped with Ebola-ready isolation units.

Except that these four units have a combined total of just 19 available beds suited for Ebola patients — this is out of 5,700 total hospitals in the U.S. with hundreds of thousands of conventional beds. Frieden’s announcement was reported by The Washington Post, which regarded it as a solution to the problem of more Ebola cases arriving on American soil.

Three of the hospitals — the National Institutes of Health (NIH) hospital in Bethesda, Maryland; Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia; and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha — have all previously treated confirmed and suspected cases of Ebola. Only St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana, has yet to see an Ebola patient.

“We have to rethink how we address infection control, because even a single infection is unacceptable,” stated Frieden the hypocrite, who just days prior expressed opposition to shuttering travel to and from West Africa because, in his mind, containing the outbreak there will somehow place us all at increased risk.

This nonsensical and obviously lying bureaucrat also told the media that Americans shouldn’t worry because new screening protocols are being introduced at five major U.S. airports to catch up to 95 percent of all potential Ebola cases. Somehow, a single infection, or perhaps several hundred in this other 5 percent, is acceptable to Frieden — or at least it was last week when he insisted that there would never be an Ebola outbreak in the U.S.
