Is the CDC Playing Immigration Politics with Ebola?

Quote
Astoundingly, CDC Ebola screening/isolation standards issued following the Duncan Dallas Ebola case still do not properly contend with cases like Duncan’s -- and who knows how many of those there now are in America?

Quote
During his first visit to the Emergency Room of Texas Presbyterian, Duncan’s condition was such that he “presented with low-grade fever and abdominal pain. His condition did not warrant admission. He also was not exhibiting symptoms specific to Ebola.” Accordingly, Texas Presbyterian sent Duncan home with antibiotics.

When the hospital sent the Ebola-infected Duncan home, it did so because it chose to comply with CDC policy guidelines. Those guidelines were such that even patients who had “traveled to Africa” and who had abdominal pain accompanied with fevers less than 101.5 degrees (i.e., “low-grade” fevers) were to be considered, for purposes of Ebola isolation, essentially “asymptomatic.”

Now then: have you noticed that the MSM has repeatedly characterized Duncan’s case, and cases such as Duncan’s in America, as involving merely “travel to Africa”?

Quote
And yet, unbelievably, the CDC still does not intend to isolate future Duncans (see for yourself by clicking here and here -- and remember that these are policy guidelines issued after the Duncan case).

Is it wholly unreasonable to suppose that the CDC is avoiding emphasis on the nationality of hot zone arrivals because it doesn’t want to draw attention to the connection of Ebola with immigration?  If that is what they are doing, here is what Obama and RINOS are saying to America: immigration reform is more important than containing Ebola.  These considerations perhaps give new meaning to Obama’s statement on October 2 that “no force on earth” can stop immigration reform.  “No force on earth” indeed -- not even Ebola.

CDC does seem more worried about not harshing the immigration mellow than actually protecting the USA from disease.

They do seem to be doubling down on the stupid.   The harder they try to force the immigration reform elephant through the American public opinion's eye, the less elephant actually makes it through and the more the American people want it stopped.

But, hey.  They are our betters and are smarter about all this stuff them we are.  ;/ ;/

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

There does seem to be some use of ebola re immigration, but it's not the cdc using it

The answer to the OP's question is a resounding YES.
All other explanations get far more sinister from there.

If I am reading that correctly, the visas are extensions for folks already here.  They are unlikely to have Ebola.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

And the expedite process might be the perfectly logical way to avoid sending them home until their paperwork is done, then letting them come back.

You read it right. You are in a very small minority in that respect

No.  The administration is playing social politics with it.  They don't want to "damage the economies of fledgling democracies" in Africa.  We get to suffer so that Africa can grow economically.

I think Jamis is correct it's the why of the administrations actions that baffle me. I don't see what they get from it

90% of the administrations policies are rooted in the world view that they can make the world better by holding us back.  Look at it through those glasses and it all makes sense.

Why does this admin keep doubling down on global warming?  It's the best wealth redistribution scam ever designed by man.

But they're not making the world better. Making America worse, absolutely. But who actually benefits by this ideology or its practice?

They believe that it's working, that's all that matters.

Well, also, remember that because it's Africa, shutting down travel from the affected countries (or otherwise banning travel if you've been in those countries in the last 3 weeks or so) is somehow racist.

The people who voted for him either didn't read them, or read them and agreed with him.
