Congressional Hearing On U.S. Response To Ebola Oct. 24, 2014



U.S. Rep. Darrell E. Issa (R-CA), Chairman

This is a hearing on Friday October 24, 2014, before the full committee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives regarding the response of the United States to the ebola virus threat. It is over four hours long. It indicates the current status of understanding of the role of government and the dangers of the ebola virus. The bureaucratic response of the panel of experts raises serious concerns about the competence of the leadership of the U.S. government. They do not seem to understand logic, and are unable to reveal what they know they do not know. God help us.

U.S. Rep. Jason E. Chaffetz (R-UT) asked if ebola is only contagious when the patient has a fever, why are the bowling alley and cabs used by the doctor in New York being cleaned? One more good question. Here's the story about cleaning up the New York City bowling alley.
