Members of Congress to grill CDC at Ebola hearing-Live Feed

Congress is always grilling someone and nothing ever comes of it.

I notice the good ol' Dr Frieden looks unshaven, wonder why that is??

Looks like another dog and pony show with a healthy dose of the blame game.
Exactly what I expected

i have probably watched every single press conference and briefing, i don't know if i can continue watching this one, the reason is .. I have seen it before....

Q

I would love to see an ATS poll asking how many members would take an Ebola vaccine.

There goes Baghdad Frieden again. "...exit screening, so that every person leaving has their temperature taken. In the two-month period from August and September, we identified 74 people with fever. None of them entered the airport or boarded the plane. As far as we know none of them were diagnosed with Ebola."

So where and when were their temperatures taken, if NONE of them entered the airport?

Hmmmm....so far except for toeing the party line, not hearing any pointed questions?

i am hoping this is because its just everyone's opening 5 minute statement, afterwards if the opening statements are followed some tougher question should be asked.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I missed it....ok...got time to make the popcorn!!!

All I can hear is... "vaccine, vaccine, CDC, expedite the safe and effective vaccine, CDC, vaccine, FDA, clinical testing, CDC, government agency, DOD, FDA" not feeling so good about all this.

Sounds like the woman contradicted Fauci's earlier statement about the vaccines being in development for much longer than this current scare, claiming they are still in their earliest stages.

Already focusing less on US and shifting it to control in Africa. Are we going to go digging for king solomon's mines now? I'm hearing a whole lot of 'this is what we do', but not a whole lot of 'this is how it happened.'

It's not that I don't think that helping those poor struggling nations get control of their crises isn't a fine and noble goal...but let's figure out what went wrong in THIS COUNTRY right now....get a handle on THAT. First order of business: Get YOUR oxygen mask on first, then you can help the guy in the next seat get his on.

Guess Nina is being moved now too.

Border Patrol didn't to more screening till Oct 11th !!?????????
OMG

Not exactly a collection of the sharpest minds in the USA

That is just super naive.

Terrific! Just what we need...the clueless and the fearful grilling the incompetent.

What the hell could this possibly accomplish. A leader just needs to grow a pair and take charge.

A little late for charades.

A little OT here.....but FFS someone involved in all this watch HOUSE!!!

ALL patients LIE!

Just saying....

From what I'm hearing, it sounds like they're just confirming what they're trying to refute; we were not prepared for this to happen and we didn't take it seriously enough. It only takes one person to screw it up, not reading an email (just an email being sent out to be aware of fever symptoms... I know how much attention I pay to my emails), not taking it seriously, etc.

Looks like we're finally getting to the questions.

Answer the question !!! how many cases at once can the U.S.A handle , how many beds in facilities available?

Damn the questioner pussied out on the question

Q

Yes!! Finally demanding answers about why we are still allowing travel from Africa and why are those at risk allowed to travel.

..............

Oh snap. But all the question got was the same yadda-yadda..."we will always try to protect the American people"...blah blah blah................*snore*


They just rehash the same talking points over and over. Talking points will surely be our salvation in this crisis!
