The federal government continues to downplay the threat posed by the virus. Unfortunately, the federal government doesn’t have a stellar track record of telling the truth lately and people are skeptical.
CDC doesn't recommend people on same commercial airline flights w/US #Ebola patient undergo monitoring. http://t.co/wjPNZ4ROTZ

The ambulance crew are being quarantined but the people who were cooped up in a plane with the Ebola patient don’t warrant monitoring?
@CDCgov Yeah, why should we play it safe? You might not cash in if a US outbreak is avoided!

Naturally the White House was on Twitter with “FACTS” because everyone knows whatever the White House says has to be true.
FACT: #Ebola can only spread from contact with the blood or body fluids of a person or animal who is sick with or has died from the disease.

Except sometimes they amputate people’s feet just to make a quick buck.
Anyone else not really comfortable taking the White House’s word on what our health care system can and can’t do?
@WhiteHouse Then stop letting it in the damn country!
