Do you remember that guy from a previous administration with the beard telling us to stop smoking? I remember him, and I seem to remember that he was a very respected person in the medical community.

I know this. That some people do not know body parts even. They cannot tell their posterior from an excavation.

But...whoever is in charge is moving toooooooo slowly for me.
You are too funny! You should have been a journalist.

And I really, deep down inside, agree with you too. I'm very torn on this. But my poly-sci major husband informs me on such issues, and while he thinks it certainly would be better for this "Czar" to have a medical background, his communication and organizational skills are what's needed the most.

Does he have such skills? I don't know. But I do know from volunteer experience with SCORE and my SIL's job as private personal accountant that doctors have some of the worst management skills in terms of their personal lives and finances and are not necessarily qualified to be administrators.

One West African country is now free of Ebola. It's been 42 days. I am hopeful we can help wipe this out at the source. I prefer to look forward and not backward and keep my posterior off of a plane till it's over.
