Congo is probably more prepared than Liberia....not good, but unlikely it will match the last outbreak.

I remember Trump criticizing Obama for refusing to restrict travel from affected countries last time.

I can't wait to see some liberal judge try to justify blocking a travel ban.

Ebola 2: The Secret of the Ooze

Last time, some goofball who arrived in NYC, took a subway from the airport to his home and then went to a public restaurant to have dinner. Can you imagine if that spread to everyone who came in contact with that dude during his subway traveling and then passing it on second-hand to everyone else? It would be an outbreak.

Maybe we could, you know, not let them onto flights into the US like Barry did... Which had predictable results.

l've always found this statistic on the Congo fascinating...

The Democratic Republic of Congo is widely considered to be one of the world's richest countries in natural resources; its untapped deposits of raw minerals are estimated to be worth in excess of US$24 trillion.[92][93][94] The Congo has 70% of the world's coltan, a third of its cobalt, more than 30% of its diamond reserves, and a tenth of its copper.[95][96]

Not sure they can be so prepared when the locals won't wash hands or belive health advisers telling them how to deal with infected people etc.

I'm sure I'm late to the party but...

Maybe because it's a fetid, Third World shithole with ongoing tribal and religious warfare that makes it impossible for anything good to happen there.

Oh, and abjectly corrupt government, too.

Breaking News!

Trump just appointed Obama to be the ambassador to The Congo, due to not believing in guns and due to budget cuts he will not be supplied with armed guards and also due to budget cuts, no hazmat suit will be provided.
