Ask @realDonalTrump. He's off a lot of times, but this time, I gotta agree with him -- minus the part about asking for Obama's resignation.

NO. They don't really care. If they do, why haven't they examined the doctor knowing he is a physician who treats Ebola virus victims. The fact that he had physical contact with the victims, he might carried the virus even if the symptoms aren't present.

Im not sure. Maybe they've missed this one but as far as i can see, the gov't is doing their best. Even the troops sent to West Africa was quarantined for 21 days

Obama's not really concerned. How can he assure the public that US is Ebola free? This is only one of the incident in relation to Ebola (not including the nurse). Plus, Spencer had ridden subways, taken a cab and visited a bowling alley in Brooklyn between his return from Guinea and the onset of symptoms. How can they be sure it's a hundred percent safe? WTF

I dont think the government is too concerned with this topic. They prioritize early campaigns and other shits.

This is so epic. How can they not detect it? That doctor should be quarantined first before anything else because they all know he'd been to West Africa.

NO. They dont give a shit about this thing. They do not know that this is too serious. If this virus spreads to New York, chances of spreading it the whole United States is high

Not Sure here. Our government is always busy and the fact that we dont know why are they busy. We cant conclude that they are not doing anything about this problem.

I put 50 points on the line. I'm pretty sure people think that the government isn't. It's just crazy to me why we're not stopping all flights from West Africa from landing on US soil. When my niece has a severe cold, her parents don't let her go to school so she doesn't infect all of her classmates. It's just precautions people should take to stop the spread of infection. If they can't contain it there, why are we so eager to bring it here?

Im not sure whether the gov't is doing their part. The doctor should be quarantined because he have been to a place contaminated by Ebola. Why did they let this happen?
