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.

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!
