'A plague like no other': Americans panic over first U.S.-diagnosed Ebola patient

The Centers for Disease Control and the White House have repeatedly reassured Americans the risk of an Ebola epidemic hitting the U.S. is low — but that didn’t seem to quell the panic boiling over on Twitter. Users, including Donald Trump, fearfully predicted a dire, deadly outbreak.

Ebola is here — and so is the mass hysteria.

Public fear about the deadly virus boiled over Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first U.S.-diagnosed case.

How dumb is our president to send thousands of poorly trained and ill-equipped soldiers over to West Africa to fight Ebola. Stop all flights

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2014

Well, Obama sending troops to combat Ebola worked out really well.

Well, under Obama America has first case of Ebola on its shores. Is this the Change we were hoping for?

Kinda feel like we're all gonna die from Ebola so thanks Obama

1. You know, when Obama first invaded Iraq during Desert Storm, I knew something

like this would happen.

2. This is who and what they are

BTW - I'm now lumping tweety in with them after his nonsense on MSNBC last night. . .

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Was tweety getting hysterical about this also?

Not surprising.

[Mike Daniels]

9. I thought someone was going to have to sedate Matthews

It was pretty embarrassing to watch him yesterday.

15. Top of the hour Cali

But I kind of expected it from him. I generally don't watch him anymore - just because there is so a sharp demarcation between he and Al Sharpton -

I.E. Sharpton introduces the guest, gives guest's background, asks question - shuts up. Asks question - shuts up. Etc. etc.


Tweety - introduces guests, gives HIS background, explains what it means to him, asks question ten cuts off the guest.

He's like the Bill O'Reilly of MSNBC with his ranting and raving.

3. Ha! They are a hoot. nt

4. Oh good gravy.

Nutbags gonna get their nutbag on.

[logosoco]

5. Well, we know they don't have a good grasp of science anyway.

And it probably is possible that an infant Obama in Kenya planted this disease in other parts of Africa, right?

(do I have to find the sarcasm smilie?)

7. To be fair "ebola" has 5 letters and "Obama" has five letters

So um, there's that.

10. Both have 3 syl-abbles.

8. Lol-GOP Cut CDC

funding by about $600,000,000.00 since 2010 and NOW they're in a Panic? Priceless. This is what the Nuts get back for their investments of both money and Votes for GOP Teabaggers.....

11. Conservatives are just fucking stupid, aren't they...

12. The last one (Sarah) is a gag post, I think

The "Thanks Obama" tagline kind of gives it away.

13. Let's compare this to the Republican, Reagan led response to the emerging AIDS crisis, shall we?

By the time Ronald Wilson Reagan so much as mentioned the virus, there were already well over 20,000 dead in the United States along with another 50,000 Americans infected. Infections had spread to 113 countries which had another 50,000 cases.
So at that time, they sat in silence as thousands and thousands of Americans died in America. They did nothing. They said nothing.

14. Yup!
