I don't think anyone left of center is pooh-poohing the risk of ebola. I think we are reacting to the right-of-center people who are ready to throttle anyone crossing the border or who have absolutely no faith in ANYONE in government to do ANYTHING right, or who think such simplistic measures of stopping air flights is going to do any good when people who are infected can easily find ways to enter the country.
And I'm surprised, frankly, that the mods are not screaming about all the political statements that have been going on.
But please don't make a blanket statement about left-of-center people not believing in the risk. I think you are missing the point of how we feel. Some of the comments on this thread are very strong about certain aspects.
