I am, because I am old, of the opinion that now is the time to do a lot of things to prevent an epidemic.

This is a very dangerous situation and one that no one is prepared for. I said several months ago that we needed to shut some doors.

If a black man with a foreign accent appeared in the emergency room in Texas, this would have been a good time to jump to conclusions or profile or ask some questions given the recent epidemic in Africa..
