CDC to America: get ready for Ebola

CDC issues Ebola checklist: ‘Now is the time to prepare’

by Paul Bedard

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning hospitals and doctors that “now is the time to prepare,” has issued a six-page Ebola “checklist” to help healthcare workers quickly determine if patients are infected.

While the CDC does not believe that there are new cases of Ebola in the United States, the assumption in the checklist is that it is only a matter of time before the virus hits home.

Please note the last words of the above paragraph: “before the virus hits home.”  Meaning: the United States of America.

The following is also of note in re Ebola:

The US State Department has ordered 160,000 hazmat suits;
The US State Department has ordered 5,000 body bags;
Obama wants to send 3,000 US soldiers to Africa to fight the Ebola breakout;

Ebola is, in fact, only one aircraft ride away from the United States.

N95 masks, anyone?
