To the anti-government wingers in my thread: so far, the only "spread of Ebola" in the U.S. was caused by a private hospital in a red state.

Unbelievable. Somehow, it’s “Red State’ Texas’ fault. What a contortion of logic to even think that way.

Couldn’t have anything to do with a man from Liberia lying about his exposure to the disease to get into this country, and then once here, lying by omission by not telling the hospital on the first visit that he had in fact been exposed in a serious way to Ebola.

Not to mention a federal government who refused to adequately screen people entering the country and restrict entry of people from Ebola affected areas. No, that would make too much sense…
