0zero thinks it's nothing more than a case of Tennis Elbola.

Doctors Without Borders requested for the first time ever military intervention from U.S. back in April when they saw the new iteration of the virus. Ebola wasn't killing people within hours of contact. That made its R rate less than 2. It died out quickly.

Now Ebola is weaker-- in order to allow victims to receive more potential contact and opportunity to spread. DWB saw this and understood the urgency. In April. It's September.

The military presence isn't just for building, but for enforced quarantine. Could get ugly.

The strategy for handling Ebola can be very simple.
I propose draconian and insensitive remedies: identify, isolate, kill, burn. Simplistic but imminently feasible given the primitive conditions, the remote areas, the low genetic makeup.

Hold on, not racist - just the facts.

The logistics support this strategy. Isolated and easily cordoned off, far enough from civilization that travel can be monitored and interrupted.

I bet there are some killings, out in the boonies where the sun don't shine, but not enough.

The rationale is, collateral damage minimal and benefits for the greater good. I guess my Kraut mindset shows, uh? Highly unlikely this will happen — no press and no money changing hands, greasing wheels and whatnot.

This plays better: Uncle Sam the Samaritan Man. We have landed a couple thousand troops and wheelbarrows full of equipment and bales of money in, where, Liberia?

Just think, donuts and coffee from the Red Cross and ten percent error rate. Photo ops abound: a suited up doctor (or maintenance man, who knows?) patting a victim on the back there, there. A pristine treatment room, all shiny glass and steel, for looks, not for blood and mucus and excrement all over the place, with a smell that would knock a buzzard off a gut wagon.

We're doomed, doomed I tell ya.

There must be another angle. Obama works for the UN no?, why wouldn't they have the blue hats do the cop work? I can't help but think that something more sinister is at play. Maybe it's just as simple as him showing off for his dictator buddies, ie; the Marine holding the umbrella, etc. but given his malicious demeanor towards the military, I can't help think negative.

Will, yeah, it vibes bad no matter how you look at it. Maybe it is just part of the smoke and mirrors, get us looking at that while the home front falls apart.
Another angle that always gets results: follow the money.
I thought maybe he is sending troops and officers that he knows actively oppose him, sending them to the danger zone far worse than bombs and bullets.
"Uh, troops, you have been exposed to much contamination, it won't be safe for you to return stateside for another year or so."

Nah, he wouldn't do that, would he? um, would he?
