We don’t have an epidemic of Ebola, but we do seem to be suffering an outbreak of DC Babble…Two suspected Ebola patients, one in L.A. and one in Boston, fortunately tested negative, but they raised distrust among Americans that the CDC knows what it’s doing. And their own statements aren’t helping. First they assured us it wouldn’t come to the US, then that it was highly unlikely, then that it was unlikely to spread. Once it did spread on US soil, from the late patient in Dallas to a nurse who cared for him, CDC Director Thomas Frieden blamed the hospital. In a line worthy of the Pentagon babble from “M*A*S*H,” Frieden said, “I think the fact that we don’t know of a breach in protocol is concerning because clearly there was a breach in protocol.” That angered all caregivers, accusing them of making a mistake with no proof. And the hospital says the nurse wore protective gear at all times. So if all the protocols failed to stop the spread, maybe the protocol should’ve been to keep it out of the US in the first place.
