We haven't had a new case of Ebola in seven days now, if I am not mistaken.
Obama appointed the Ebola Czar five days ago. He has not been to a single Ebola meeting yet.
But I guess it's not really important that he show to meeting, as we seem to have no more Ebola problem anyway.
I guess you could say the whole Ebola Czar thing was a non-starter.

AP Advisory on Ebola Coverage 10/17/2014
Advisory on Ebola coverage
Posted on 10/17/2014 by Erin Madigan White
In an advisory to editors at member and customer news organizations, The Associated Press outlined the careful steps it is taking in covering the Ebola story.
EDITORS:
We’re increasingly hearing reports of “suspected” cases of Ebola in the United States and Europe. The AP has exercised caution in reporting these cases and will continue to do so.
Most of these suspected cases turn out to be negative. Our bureaus monitor them, but we have not been moving stories or imagery simply because a doctor suspects Ebola and routine precautions are taken while the patient is tested. To report such a case, we look for a solid source saying Ebola is suspected and some sense the case has caused serious disruption or reaction. Are buildings being closed and substantial numbers of people being evacuated or isolated? Is a plane being diverted? Is the suspected case closely related to another, confirmed Ebola case?
When we do report a suspected case, we will seek to keep our stories brief and in perspective.

AFGE Joins the AFL-CIO's Call for Worker Protections Amidst Ebola Crisis
In separate letters addressed to House and Senate leaders from both parties, AFGE and the AFL-CIO asked Congress to provide the necessary funding or legislation "to ensure that workers and the public are protected." Among those protections is a request for a measure prohibiting retaliation against workers who publicly raise concerns about their facilities' preparedness, and another for compensating workers who lose their jobs due to Ebola exposure.
