CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden resigns amid CDC's complete botching of Ebola outbreak

[seeric]

Guaranteed you will read this headline here in the next few days or week maybe. CDC completely screwed the pooch on every single case of Ebola in the USA so far.

Here you go. Some more fresh Ebola for you:

Latest possible outbreak in Chula Vista, California. Apparently, it was reported that this girl was on the plane with the sick nurse #2 with 123 other people that the CDC cleared to fly AFTER she notified them that she was sick with flu like conditions after working with Ebola patient Duncan.

Students quarantined at Southwestern College because of possible Ebola exposure | FOX5 San Diego – San Diego news, weather, traffic, sports from KSWB

Stupid fuckers.

This coming resignation will be just another confirmation of complete and utter mismanagement by government agencies. Just a partial list here of resignations or other people who bowed out in different ways over scandal and mismanagement:

Dept of Veterans Affairs Chief - Resigned
Dept of the Treasury Chief - Resigned
Dept of Justice Chief - Resigned
Secret Service Chief - Resigned
etc.
etc.

The list goes on and on. Our government isn't capable of baking a cake, let alone being responsible for the population of the United States of America.

Go Fuck Yourself USGOV.

Toolbags.

What you said is spot on, but let me tell you something about living abroad and watching this unfold. If I were to catch Ebola, I will spend whatever it costs to by flown to Atlanta to be treated by US doctors, with experimental medicines created in US labs.

Agreed. Our medical care here is top notch. What is not top notch is the handling of this. It's a complete cluster fuck, based on what I've seen and heard so far.

** My opinions and 4.25 will get you a nice latte at Starbucks though.

Just sucks watching yet another complete fucking disaster of a response to something very serious.

I don't know why you guys think our medical care here is so great.

Don't you know that it has to be "reformed"? Thus "ObamaCare"

We need to get our "healthcare" on the same level as the rest of the world. lol

When you want to pay 50% of your salary to have blanket socialized coverage, let us know.

Until then, the pay for play system if you're in the right income brackets is top notch.

Don't care about every one in the country, just me. Every man for himself.

I'm loving my health care benefits. Had two surgeries on my hand 150k in billable charges. I paid a total of 683.00.

It's situations like this that always make me shake my head when people argue to give the government more power and money.

Don't care what anyone says. I'll take greedy capitalism, thank you.

CDC's Tom Frieden to face Congress as two representatives call for his resignation - Atlanta Business Chronicle

He hasnt resigned and its not the govs fault. this happened in texas the land of we have no regulation. Texas Presby nurses are speaking out that there is NO Continuing Education for Nurses in the latest diseases. In MOST states, nurses are required to have Continuing Education (weekly, monthly, yearly) - it's ongoing and constant. To hear that they have NO idea how to diagnose Ebola or Enterovirus 68 just shows, YET AGAIN, that Texas's lack of following rules and regulations trumps everything else.

[dyna mo]

certainly in hindsight we can look back and see how it should have been handled but let's say the cdc went on the offensive to 100% ensure that no ebola gets into this country, how many peeps would be shouting from the rooftops that the government is over-acting and over stepping boundaries?

I'm not picking sides here, just illustrating the dilemma.

The government can do no wrong. Unless it's the Texas government.

Right?

this doesn't make sense. a nurse's cert is only 2 years and is approved via a national nursing board, not state. to get the 2 year cert renewed requires the nationally approved continuining education courses.

Its not like that everywhere. We pay under 5% at most.

no but you cant say small gov small gov ,no regulations and then when something happens want to point a finger.

In Atlanta we have had no problems, Texas has been a mess.

Also everyone who wants to blame the cdc, they arent a governing body and their funding has been cut in half.

[sperbonzo]

No one under this administration is held to account for anything. No one resigns, and no one is fired. So whether you think that he screwed the pooch or not.... he isn't going anywhere.

This is a global problem. If only some countries act then we would need a travel ban to all of the countries that did not place these Western African nations in quarantine.

It's not so simple as a national sovereign matter.

Right now there is a de facto travel ban to and from these Western African nations, where Ebola is a present threat, by global airlines for legal liability reasons.

There is in place an ad hoc isolation however it is in situ of the disease area and not toward the treatment centers of the disease -- that is the subject of discussion here ...

Would it be better for the Administration to support people who are not the most competent under the circumstances? Some Presidents have gone the distance with their appointees with disastrous results. This is a classic lose-lose situation.

This falls under the CDC, last time I checked, it's a federal thing, not a state thing, correct?

So the fuck up falls under Tom Frieden who is a doctor and he was appointed by Obama, just like all the other people that have been fired or quit that Obama has appopinted, shall I list them?

the virus appears to have mutated.

what happens when you set up death camps and send soldiers rather than teams of doctors to deal with this.

the texas case, the one who 'reported no' as to having contact with an Ebola victim.. had the person 'sent home from the hospital as fine'.

not that this will make the news of course.
