How 'bout some clarity? The Center for Disease Control had one job. They didn't do it. Whether they couldn't or wouldn't do it, the result is the same. They're a Three Stooges farce with a seven billion dollar budget and a bewildered Baghdad Bob for a Director. It's wall to wall clowns at six-figure salaries. All that's missing are the kazoos and cowbells. And they're still squandering scarce resources, still tripping over their own bureaucratic shoelaces, still fumbling the simple and ignoring the obvious, still making it up as they go along—and exposing us to disaster in stunningly stupid ways that would never occur to the untrained.
The CDC isn't the answer and it never was, as we've found out. They're the problem and have been long before Thomas Duncan shambled around Dallas, infected same, and croaked. One guy—one, brought the whole thing down. They say they didn't see it coming. Really? Wasn't it their job? They still don't see enterovirus D68 coming from Mexico, denials all around, DHS told them to look the other way, and they are. Then there's DC. They send troops to Africa, provide limo service at our southern border, and let anyone into the country who doesn't actually collapse in a pool of their own bloody vomit when getting off the plane.
Seriously, how plain do they have to make it? How does the CDC differ from a fraud run by crackpots and quacks—good intent? How could we know their intent? If the intent of DC and the CDC were to create an epidemic by giving ground until the point of no return, what would they be doing differently? Anyone? Beuller?
The CDC is either "controlling disease" or it isn't. If it is, they have much to answer for. If it isn't, we can't afford them. Here's the take-away: if you value your life, disregard the CDC. Too extreme? Here's what what one pro tells us:
It should be clear to all by now that federal bureaucracies are either too corrupt, politicized, or incompetent to fulfill their core missions. The purpose of bureaucracies is to continually expand their payroll, budgets, and missions to the point of becoming massive, inefficient, and deadly. We will have to take care of ourselves if we want to survive. Waiting for more CDC directives and guidelines is worse than counterproductive.--

And here's how reliable the World Health Organization is:
In September the WHO estimated that by October 20, there would be 3,000 total cases in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. As of October 7, the count was 8,376.

Drat! Missed it by that much. But it doesn't end there. Obama's new Ebola Kommissar, Ron Klain, has no medical qualifications whatever. None. He's a Biden staffer. A fixer. A plumber. A spinmeister. A troll magnet. He keeps his nitwit boss's pratfalls out of the news when he can, and puts lipstick on 'em when he can't. When DC cranks up their airlift to bring the world's Ebola zombies to the United States for free medical care and complimentary mints, he'll be performing the same service for the CDC.
This isn't reassuring – it's a straight-up insult to the American people. We'll get a Beltway spinner installed above the existing six-figure officials who dropped every ball Ebola tossed them? Obama just named a political officer to manage the Cabinet secretaries who managed the CDC director who managed to lose control of Ebola.

And it'll work too. What used to be the news media isn't going to do a one-eighty and ask silly questions like, "what happened to all those emergency powers like quarantines for travelers from infected countries?" Nope. They'll take this guy's press releases, add a "comma-he-said" at the end, slap a headline on 'em and it's off to happy hour.
The regime will cover up, deceive, lie, and distort facts as they desperately try to cover up their failings regarding the various disease outbreaks throughout this nation. American citizens and illegals who die from Ebola or Enterovirus D68 will have their death certificates altered under Federal orders to cover up the severity of the outbreaks. Thus the more severe Ebola outbreak will proceed unencumbered to phase 3, which will start the process of destroying the world economy and killing more than sixty million Americans in the process.
Neither the CDC or DC will tell us the truth, and the news media wouldn't tell us even if they knew. This has barely begun. Here's a fun fact: you're on your own and have been from the beginning. It's why ol' Remus keeps telling you: stay away from crowds—Rule One for survival, dependable, like gravity. There's no way to make it complicated and no reason to try. Here are some other rules: Figure out what you need and get it. Figure out what to do and do it. Figure out where you need to be and when you need to be there.
