New News: 10-31-2014:
CDC pulls poster saying Ebola can spread through a sneeze
http://nypost.com/2014/10/30/cdc-pulls-poster-saying-ebola-can-spread-through-a-sneeze/
The Post reported Wednesday that the CDC acknowledged that people can catch the virus by coming into contact with droplets from an infected person on a doorknob or other surface.
If a person touched those droplets and touched their eyes, nose or mouth for up to several hours later or more, they could contract the deadly contagion, the CDC said.
“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,” the poster stated.

State of Maine, nurse who went to Africa at odds over Ebola quarantine
http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/29/health/us-ebola/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

Maine health commissioner Mary Mayhew said late Wednesday afternoon that, even as it continues talks with Hickox's representatives, the state is in the process of filing a court order to require the nurse to abide by a 21-day quarantine. Mayhew cited concerns about Hickox's hands-on role in dealing with Ebola patients, as well as "concerns about the lack of reliability and the lack of trustworthiness in the information that has been received."

"You need to be able to have trust and credibility in that information," the state health commissioner said. "That makes her a higher risk."

Mayhew also blasted what she called "the lack of leadership at the federal level" that has created "a patchwork quilt of state-by-state determinations," vowing that "we will not stand by and exacerbate the situation in Maine."

Most American voters dismiss President Barack Obama’s appointment of an “Ebola czar” as a public relations move
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/10/28/fox-news-poll-ebola-czar-voters-say-its-pr-move/
"Two-thirds of voters say the appointment of an Ebola czar is mostly a public relations move (67 percent). That includes a 53-percent majority of Democrats. Eighty percent of Republicans and 76 percent of independents also see the move as window dressing.
Overall, just 23 percent see the designation of a czar as a serious attempt to help the problem."

Roanoke Times, 10-25-2014, Pg 1, 3: NY NJ quarantines after NYC doctor diagnosed with Ebola after passing his entrance temperature exam.

-
Obama and his associates appear yet again to be in analysis paralysis over a major leadership issue; this time it’s Managing Ebola in the best interests of the health and welfare of the American people.
-
We have well-established organizations missioned to manage challenges like this to include:
CDC
NIH
HomeLand Security
Dept of Health – Nationally
Dept of Health – In Every State
-
We should have a US Surgeon General as the President’s official focal point for national health issues – not clear why Obama doesn’t have one but instead appointed a political-hack to be his Ebola-Czar and media manager.

Help Wanted: Ebola Czar, No Experience Needed

Obama’s pathetic process is now to take the temperature of arriving persons from countries that are suffering from the Ebola Pandemic. Even the most naïve person recognizes that during the 21-day incubation period, those who are harboring this virus will pass this superficial test and then these “carriers” may well spread the virus when it breaks out as a mature disease.
Something about Typhoid Mary in 1938.

New York, New Jersey order Ebola quarantines
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/10/25/new-york-new-jersey-order-ebola-quarantines/
“Both New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday they are ordering a mandatory, 21-day quarantine for all doctors and travelers who have had contact with Ebola victims in the ravaged countries of West Africa.
The move comes a day after a Doctors Without Borders volunteer was diagnosed with the disease after returning to the U.S. a week after treating Ebola victims in Guinea.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the case forced them to conclude that the two states need guidelines more rigorous than those of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends voluntary quarantines.”
