The Ebola crisis is heating up day by day, while more Americans are affected by the disease and the Tekmira Pharmaceutical company has found itself in the right place at the right time to get approval on a vaccine for the disease, as reported in the Wall Street Journal today!

 

Is it the never-ending speculation by media on every small aspect of this disease? Is it the day by day list of possible Ebola victims lining up here in the United States? Are our government and the CDC suffering from a lack of common sense in handling the potential outbreak? Has sequestration taken the money needed to fight the disease, or have the people of West Africa hit the nail on the head, pointing to a government conspiracy?

 

Since Thomas Eric Duncan flew into the United States infected with Ebola, we have had two nurses come down with the disease who were involved in his care. Dr. Thomas Frieden, director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, continues to tell us that we should not worry, the government has this under control. However, he took no time in blaming Nina Pham for wearing too much protective wear, resulting in her own fumbled contraction of the disease. The second nurse, Amber Vinson, was showing signs of a low-grade fever, but was allowed to board a plane to Cleveland. Now she is in isolation, confirmed to have Ebola, but not before Dr. Frieden stated she should not have gotten on that plane.

 

Pan Cipriano, the President of the American Nurses Association, complained of sloppy systems during Duncan’s treatment.

 

“The precautions that were being followed were thought to be adequate. We are seeing now that those procedures are not effective. When we have a new pathogen like Ebola we have to have a new procedure because even a small exposure is affecting our healthcare workers. We look to the CDC for general guidelines. We have been following those guidelines, and we are anxiously awaiting any findings from the investigation in Dallas as to whether there is specific equipment or procedure or additional requirements that must be put into place to protect workers. We continue to look to the CDC to be vigilant and transparent in sharing their findings and hopefully upgrading or clarifying any additional requirements that are necessary.”

 

In a speech at the U.N. on September 25th, President Obama said,

 

Ebola is a horrific disease. It is wiping out entire families….. This is a growing threat to regional and global security. In Liberia, in Guinea, in Sierra Leone, public health systems have collapsed. Economic growth is slowing dramatically. If this epidemic is not stopped, this disease could cause a humanitarian catastrophe across the region. And in an era where regional crises can quickly become global threats, stopping Ebola is in the interest of all of us.”

 

“….We are not moving fast enough. We are not doing enough. Right now, everybody has the best of intentions, but people are not putting in the kinds of resources that are necessary to put a stop to this epidemic. There is still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be. We know from experience that the response to an outbreak of this magnitude has to be fast and it has to be sustained.”

 

After giving his speech at the U.N., President Obama attended a fundraiser at a private residence in the Washington area. His schedule then put him on a fundraiser binge in New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut, then on to LA for a backyard barbecue with Gwyneth Paltrow. If he was really concerned about the outbreak, why not stay home and find a proactive way to control and contain the disease?
