However many try to politicize this fresh disaster
This thread is whiplashing into politics at warp speed.
And then this:
As if the Obamazombies don't already have enough to deal with! Bless their faithful little brains.
Back to topic.............
As I recall there was a similar trajectory with AIDS - ignorance about transmission, fear of contagion, a high mortality rate, etc., and now AIDS patients freely walk among us.
President Reagan, representing the US gubmint at the time, dropped the ball big time:
"President Ronald Reagan’s record is forever tarnished by his lack of leadership on HIV/AIDS; he infamously refused to address it until 1987. By that time, the CDC reported that more than 40,000 Americans had contracted the disease and more than 23,000 of them had died. When the president did speak about AIDS prevention, he recused the government and alarmingly mingled science with ethics: “The federal role must be to give educators accurate information about the disease. How that information is used must be up to schools and parents, not government. But let’s be honest with ourselves — AIDS information cannot be what some call ‘value neutral.’ After all, when it comes to preventing AIDS, don’t medicine and morality teach the same lessons?”
"To his credit, Obama is displaying none of Reagan’s head-in-the-sand syndrome. As soon as it became clear that a second Dallas nurse had been infected with Ebola, Obama canceled campaign swings and hosted a high-level meeting at the White House to discuss the outbreak. On Friday, the president went a step further, tapping Ron Klain as his Ebola czar."
