In Louisiana, we love to welcome visitors, but we must balance that hospitality with the needs of the GOPers/Teatrolls in control of the state to manufacture as much perceived reason for panic as possible something something did we mention the POTUS is blah?

And if the researchers do go to Louisiana, then what? In what way is this letter legally binding? How the hell is the state going to even know?
This is just puffery and posturing for the fear-addled teabagger Fox News sheeple.

I just read the linked Bloomberg article. One of the virologists affected is on staff at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. He said heās going to attend anyway. Piyush may have started something he canāt finish. Does anyone really think that doctors are going to roll over?
Tropical diseases thrive in warm, wet, rural conditions that often have poor sanitation, said Robert Garry, a virologist at Tulane University in New Orleans. Ebola is considered a tropical disease, said Garry, who said he received the letter and may attend the meeting.
āWe want people to be able to come back from these regions and discuss and share what theyāve learned,ā Garry said in a telephone interview. āThatās what these meetings are all about.ā

Iām not a health care worker and Iāve never even been around anyone with Ebola, and Iāll never go to Louisiana.

Well, dare we hope (horribly enough) that a case occurs in Louisiana and there is no one there to treat it? Then Jindal will be railing against the CDC for not having people on the ground ā¦
The NYT has an article on its website claiming that Obama has so many ācrisesā he just canāt ācope.ā
Unbelievable, no? Heās one of the coolest headed presidents ever and they act like heās a hysteric? How totally non-reality based the news has become.
On Ebola, Obama has been spot on, sending personnel to the source to damp it down (Liberian cases are now dropping off) and not acting like a chicken with his head cut off over it.

The sad thing is these Chicken Littles will all claim victory when Ebola-in-America becomes the non-event itās destined to be.

If Ebola were to wipe out Louisiana, nothing of value will have been lost.
