Remember the U.S. Ebola crisis? The only epidemic was fear-mongering

Much less coverage.
More time to assess instead of sensationalism which lead to unnecessary quarantines and travel bans that made Canada and Australia look dumb.
And your 'typical doctor' quote was logical?
Are you serious? That is not what led to "unnecessary quarantines". What led to the quarantines was factual demonstrated piss poor management in western hospitals for those few who did come back with the disease.
Censorship?
Assessment capabilities suffered because of news stories?
Typical Flossy... just make it up and lie if the facts don't support you and you find yourself floundering.
This is what I said.
And you lied about what I said.
Oh yes, the frenzied headlines had nothing to do with it all.
All the 'revelations' now about sensationalism are just rhetoric.
Among the most controversial questions last year was whether to quarantine health workers and others who arrived in the U.S. from the outbreak zones and had no symptoms of concern. Ebola isn't contagious until symptoms arise, and federal health officials recommended daily monitoring for fever during the virus' incubation period.
Nurse Kaci Hickox made headlines fighting the measures when she flew back to the U.S. only to be sequestered in a medical tent for several days in New Jersey and then discharged to her home in Maine.
The bioethics panel heard testimony that worry about quarantine deterred health workers from volunteering to help — and concluded that policies like travel curbs or quarantine should be based on science and use the least restrictive means necessary.

I will tweak that and instead say that appropriate coverage about the virus and how it should be handled would have been more effective than sensationalism.
Science sure helped those two nurses in Texas!
The Press should have stuck with the script!
"In the unlikely event that someone with Ebola does reach our shores, we’ve taken new measures so that we’re prepared here at home."~ President Obama September 14, 2014
Two weeks later someone with ebola does in fact reach our shores and infects two nurses at a hospital that was not prepared at all.
The doomed man lied to get in the US, slipped past the screening, the diagnoses was missed completely when he went to the hospital the first time. He was p*ssing, sh*tting, and vomiting all over the place and the hospital was not prepared in the slightest.

I think dying from Ebola is much more serious than some unproved religion that unless I buy carbon credits, I may drown due to a rising ocean.
Is that better or worse than the unproven religion that takes you to heaven if you don't touch yourself?
Wow... you surely backed yourself into a corner on this one haven't you?
Where else will you take this one since you clearly got your azz handed to you once again.
Yes I can. I can also recognize desperation and I see it in you right now.
You fumbled on every point here.
And you're just stupid Cliff.
