My God, I almost can't believe it!

Today I heard an official of the CDC state that this little incident involving Ebola is an "outbreak".

Now, I do recall just a few short weeks ago that the director of the CDC stated that in the extremely unlikely event that there would be cases within the United States, it would not be an "outbreak".

I was horrified at this parsing of language at the time and continue to be horrified by the, well, frankly and colloquially, lame-ass attempts at managing this situation. I am on record as having stated that this Dallas Hospital was ill-equipped to handle this and boy was I correct. Unfortunately.

Now that I have stated some of my bona fides, please allow me to continue to state that the ridiculousness just continues. Today they were saying that once all of these medical-type-folks endure their quarantine, then this will be over once we have regained control.

I sincerely believe that we have handed control of this country over to the modern-day equivalent of the Marx Brothers. Having some experience with virology myself as an academic subject, I remain sadly shaking my head at the pure, unadulterated inability of those in charge to either grasp the science or manage the situation in a realistic and honest fashion. That particular syndrome seems to be the real pandemic affecting America today.
