HHS Burwell (Vince Foster dumpster diver) reverses – ‘We could have done better with Ebola’ UPDATE

UPDATE: JOSH EARNEST at today’s presser: (For video, click on link). There, now I feel much better.

There are a number of steps we have taken. And I think the people can be encouraged that the federal government is demonstrating the kind of tenacious adaptive response that’s required to deal with this situation.

Earlier today I posted Second Texas Hospital worker comes down with Ebola. When I saw Dumpster Diver political hack Burwell out on the trail to discuss Ebola, well, I had to take a ride and give the back story on why we have much to worry about. From an earlier post on October 4, 2014. Now she tells us “we could have done more?”

DHHS Sylvia Burwell (Vince Foster’s dumpster diver), tell us no worries over Ebola

Free Beacon:

In July 1995, Burwell (then Sylvia Mathews) was one of several key aides questioned by the Senate Whitewater Committee regarding the death of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster.

Under questioning, Sylvia Mathews and her colleagues denied impeding a police investigation into Foster’s death after his body was found in a northern Virginia park. According to the New York Times, Mathews testified “in laborious detail about what she had found in Mr. Foster’s garbage on the night he died.”

Republicans on the committee found it significant, however, that Ms. Mathews had also managed to retrieve a special bag of garbage containing classified and sensitive papers that was usually destroyed by the Secret Service. The contents of that bag were never examined by anyone to see if Mr. Foster had left anything in it that might shed light on his state of mind.

Ms. Mathews said that she got the bag from the Secret Service and began looking briefly through it, when she discovered that it contained all of the classified garbage from the West Wing.

HHS Burwell (Vince Foster dumpster diver) reverses – ‘We could have done better with Ebola’

Local Hospitals are not equipped to handle Ebola cases. It requires Level 4 Bio protocols. We need specialized centers. Period. Dr. Mobley nails it. Wake up, time is running out. Where is our HHS head? Get rid of the political hacks and get on with what we need to do.

UPDATE: Here is the pathetic CDC Checklist: http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/pdf/coalition-checklist-ebola-preparedness.pdf

Doctors Without Borders, meanwhile, said Tuesday that 16 of its staff members have been infected with Ebola and that nine have died. The toll highlights the high risk of caring for Ebola patients even at well-equipped and properly staffed treatment centers. Seattle Times

DALLAS (AP) — A second health care worker at a Dallas hospital who provided care for the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. has tested positive for the disease, the Texas Department of State Health Services said Wednesday. The department said in a statement that the worker reported a fever Tuesday and was immediately isolated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Health officials said the worker was among those who took care of Thomas Eric Duncan, who was diagnosed with Ebola after coming to the U.S. from Liberia. Duncan died Oct. 8.

The department said a preliminary Ebola test was conducted late Tuesday at a state public health laboratory in Austin, Texas, and came back positive during the night. Confirmatory testing was being conducted at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
