The definition of INSANITY: Repeating the same action over and over again, and expectin different results. - Albert Einstein. . .
Who does this administration think they are fooling? Duncan managed to enter the US with Ebola despite the fever checks...the (insert string of obscene profanity here)CDC gave the second Ebola nurse to travel WITH A FEVER! And yet, today's headlines read:
US Steps up domestic response to Ebola crisis
"Customs and health officials at airports in Chicago, Atlanta, the Washington suburbs and Newark, New Jersey, were scheduled to start taking the temperatures of passengers from the three hardest-hit West African countries Thursday. The screenings, using no-touch thermometers, started Saturday at New York's Kennedy International Airport."

HOW THE HELL IS THAT STEPPING UP?!
Then there is this little tidbit in the same article:
Quote: "Frontier has taken the aircraft out of service. The plane was flown Wednesday without passengers from Cleveland to Denver, where the airline said it will undergo a fourth cleaning, including replacement of seat covers, carpeting and air filters."
Yet this administration insists on allowing passengers from the Ebola hot zones of Western Africa - Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea to -
not only board planes,
but change planes during connections,
enter mass transit hubs,
and travel freely within unsuspecting populations regardless of whether they were directly exposed to Ebola, as was Duncan, or not.
If and when these modes of transportation carry an infected passenger, the new standard set by Frontier suggests removal of contaminated vehicle from fleet for complete refab at corp. own expense? How sustainable is that, and for how long?
INSANITY!

The trickle becomes a torrent as Boehner and senators join Rep. Grayson's once-lonely request.Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., Bob Corker, R-Tenn., Ted Cruz, R-Texas, John Thune, R-S.D., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla., asked Wednesday for travel bans. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., did so Tuesday. A significant number of House members also have called for travel restrictions.
Frieden said that the 48 people whom officials started monitoring two weeks ago had passed a critical period and were now unlikely to contract the disease. They were more than 14 days into the 21-day maximum incubation period. One of them is Duncan’s fiancée, Louise Troh, 54, who has been under state-ordered quarantine with her 13-year-old son and two other young men. “Right now, we’re OK,” she said in a phone interview from the house where she and the others have been staying, in an undisclosed location. “I’m healthy. Everybody’s fine. God is in control.”

Chief Clinical Officer and Senior Executive Vice President for Texas Health Resources Dr. Daniel Varga was prepared to formally apologize for mistakes made with Duncan’s treatment at Thursday’s U.S. Energy and Commerce Committee’s Congressional hearing in Washington D.C.
In prepared statements released Wednesday night, Dr. Varga is prepared to say, “Unfortunately, in our initial treatment of Mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry.
Also, in our effort to communicate to the public quickly and transparently, we inadvertently provided some information that was inaccurate and had to be corrected. No doubt that was unsettling to a community that was already concerned and confused, and we have learned from that experience as well.”
