Did the CDC just get caught deleting Ebola pages from its website? (Yes)

General

http://twitter.com/#!/Neoavatara/status/528162754088038401 Yesterday, this story in the New York Post was making the rounds among conservatives on Twitter. In a nutshell, the Post reported that information on the CDC’s website said that Ebola could be spread with a sneeze or a cough: "Nass pointed to CDC poster quietly released on its Web site saying #Ebola can be spread through 'droplets.'" http://t.co/4yyR0gBUlM — Michael Graham (@IAMMGraham) October 30, 2014 CDC SNEEZE WARNING http://t.co/d63kFLStXm — DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) October 30, 2014 CDC admits droplets from a sneeze could spread Ebola | […]

Caroline Manzo has HAD IT with Ebola ‘self-monitoring’ idiocy; Slams CDC

General

http://twitter.com/#!/nycplasticsurg/status/525478035789991936 It really is outrageous. As Twitchy reported, the Ebola “self-monitoring” nonsense is a confirmed failure. Apparently, no one can self-monitor the fact that perhaps if one feels fatigued, sluggish and unwell after being exposed to Ebola, then one should not, you know, prance about a Brooklyn bowling alley (now closed due to health concerns) and public transportation. “Manzo’d With Children” mom Caroline Manzo has had it.
