King County, Wash., emergency manager says worrying about Ebola might be racist

Alisha Griswold’s LinkedIn page says she currently works for the King County Office of Emergency Management. Before that, she worked on emergency preparedness for the Port of Seattle. The self-proclaimed “Master of Disaster” says she is a “nationally recognized trainer and disaster technologist” who “recently contributed to the White House Disaster Innovation initiative in Washington DC.”

If you really want to do good, stop it with your “irrational fears” about Ebola and spend more tax dollars on, well, people like Alisha Griswold:

Here's to hoping irrational fears of Ebola result in renewed funding for #PublicHealth Emergency #Preparedness where it can do actual good.
