More Pols Hop On the Panic Train
CNN has an interview: Army major general speaks to CNN from inside Ebola quarantine. That’s right, the US Army has ‘imprisoned’ the commander of Africa Command and the inspection team he headed to West Africa.
None of these people dealt with patient care and none of them have any symptoms of anything, but they are in an isolation building on their home base in Italy for three weeks. I have a feeling that the local Italian officials had a lot to do with this. The Department of Defense has always done a lot of stupid things that were listed as ‘community relations’.
Then there is the Prime Minister of Australia who has banned visas for people from West Africa. The ABC reports on the reaction: Visa ban for visitors from Ebola-affected countries creates panic, discourages health workers needed to fight disease, African leaders say. I have a news flash for the African leaders: that is exactly why the ban was imposed.
