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 | […]

It takes just 4 letters for this singer to sum up news of Ebola-positive doc

General

http://twitter.com/#!/mizmettt/status/525458229003034624 It is frightening. As Twitchy readers know, a doctor in NYC has tested positive for Ebola. The doctor also reportedly took the subway last night and visited a bowling alley. The bowling alley has not been confirmed, but one of the suspected venues, The Gutter, is reportedly closed this evening. Singer Richard Marx summed up the news with four little letters: Shit. "In New York, Dr. Craig Spencer has tested positive for Ebola, after treating Ebola patients in Guinea: http://t.co/IHyBf8bZHW” — Richard Marx (@richardmarx) October 24, 2014 […]

Greg Gutfeld spares a thought for officers attacked with hatchet

General

http://twitter.com/#!/SuddenlyCopWife/status/525489963992100864 News of a New York City doctor testing positive for Ebola dominated the news Thursday. Despite the doctor’s decision to ride the subway and go bowling after feeling sluggish, he’s already been declared a hero. Thomas Eric Duncan, who came to America knowing that he had been exposed to Ebola, has been said to have “died a hero.” Many thanks to Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, then, for urging people to keep some real heroes, the police officers who were attacked by a man with a hatchet Thursday afternoon, […]

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. Why aren't there mandatory quarantines for anyone in the health field returning to USA after treating Ebola patients? Makes sense. […]

General

http://twitter.com/#!/CaptYonah/status/523481323949006848 Blaming “GOP funding cuts” for the lack of an Ebola vaccine has been a strategy employed by the NIH director, Paul Begala, Henry Waxman and many others.

More mixed signals: Should we be worried about Ebola or not?

General

http://twitter.com/#!/RosieGray/status/497537920979718144 The State Department is reportedly ordering the departure of eligible U.S. citizens from Liberia due to the Ebola outbreak despite CDC assurances like this one: http://twitter.com/#!/CustosDivini/status/497566376538947584 http://twitter.com/#!/ZekeJMiller/status/497537645552357376 http://twitter.com/#!/APDiploWriter/status/497544450026266625 http://twitter.com/#!/AwesomeCapital/status/497499858945593346 The U.S. is evacuating personnel, Liberia and Sierra Leone are putting up blockades and extreme  measures of containment are being taken for transporting the infected. http://twitter.com/#!/WSJ/status/497550856980811776 All this, despite CDC assurances that Ebola is difficult to contract. Jim Geraghty may be on to something. http://twitter.com/#!/jparton1/status/496697761635794944 Remain cautious and skeptical. Editor’s note: The capitalization of “Ebola” has been corrected […]

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/teriobrien/status/522785108852768768 Waxman, DeGette cite research funding lapses. — Jeannie Baumann (@MedResJourno) October 16, 2014 During opening statements at today’s House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations hearing about the U.S. response to Ebola, Democrats on the committee already seem to have identified one of the culprits: Funding. Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado was first: Rep. Degette pushes lack of funding of gov agencies as reason for no #Ebola vaccine. Will be a point pushed by Ds today. — Luke Russert (@LukeRussert) October 16, 2014 […]
