From the lack of travel ban to sending our troops to Africa to having non-medical persons screening for Ebola at the airports, Judge Pirro rips on Obama and the CDC failures to properly handle Ebola as only she can.

How old are Biohazards and Biological Warfare?
Really, really, really old.

The Black Death
Ever study the Dark Ages in Europe ?
Biological Warfare in 1346

On the basis of a 14th-century account by the Genoese Gabriele de’ Mussi, the Black Death is widely believed to have reached Europe from the Crimea as the result of a biological warfare attack.
Diseased cadavers hurled into the city could easily have transmitted plague, as defenders handled the cadavers during disposal. Contact with infected material is a known mechanism of transmission ; for instance, among 284 cases of plague in the United States in 1970–1995 for which a mechanism of transmission could be reasonably inferred, 20% were thought to be by direct contact. Such transmission would have been especially likely at Caffa, where cadavers would have been badly mangled by being hurled, and many of the defenders probably had cut or abraded hands from coping with the bombardment. Very large numbers of cadavers were possibly involved, greatly increasing the opportunity for disease transmission. Since disposal of the bodies of victims in a major outbreak of lethal disease is always a problem, the Mongol forces may have used their hurling machines as a solution to their mortuary problem, in which case many thousands of cadavers could have been involved. de’ Mussi’s description of “mountains of dead” might have been quite literally true.
“…As it happened, among those who escaped from Caffa by boat were a few sailors who had been infected with the poisonous disease. Some boats were bound for Genoa, others went to Venice and to other Christian areas. When the sailors reached these places and mixed with the people there, it was as if they had brought evil spirits with them: every city, every settlement, every place was poisoned by the contagious pestilence, and their inhabitants, both men and women, died suddenly. And when one person had contracted the illness, he poisoned his whole family even as he fell and died, so that those preparing to bury his body were seized by death in the same way. Thus death entered through the windows, and as cities and towns were depopulated their inhabitants mourned their dead neighbours.
This is not only of great historical interest but also relevant to current efforts to evaluate the threat of military or terrorist use of biological weapons.
Based on published translations of the de’ Mussi manuscript, other 14th-century accounts of the Black Death, and secondary scholarly literature, Ihe claim that biological warfare was used at Caffa is plausible and provides the best explanation of the entry of plague into the city.
This theory is consistent with the technology of the times and with contemporary notions of disease causation; however, the entry of plague into Europe from the Crimea likely occurred independent of this event.
If we do not have protocals in place against Biological Hazards, it isn’t because Biological Hazards are something new.
We needed an Ebola Czar, so they ran out and grabbed one of their rich friends. When everyone in the Military, everyone at a Hospital, everyone working on an Ambulance, everyone on a Bio Hazard Spill Team at work, and every one of our Fire Fighters and Hazard Spill Responders are trained in Biological Hazards and their training is updated each year.
No Democrats.
Ebola is something new ?
Really ?
