There’s Money in Them There Diseases
I will bet you $50. cash American money that Rick Perry has found a way to make money off ebola.
Texas Governor Rick Perry today announced he’s mobilizing a special task force to respond to Ebola and other infectious diseases. Dr. Brett Giroir of Texas A&M Health Science Center will oversee the 17 person task force which includes state officials from environmental, health, and public safety agencies.
Gov. Perry also called for the federal government to step up its screening of travelers coming from West Africa. He suggested using temperature monitors at airports and creating quarantine centers at ports of entry in the U.S.
Rick Perry doesn’t do diddle squat until he figures out a way for his friends to make money off it. I hope it fares better that the cancer research funds that he and Greg Abbott oversaw.
Okay, so here’s the deal. The only state with the risk of actually spreading ebola is Texas. Look at it this way: Texas 1, Mexico 0. So, I think Mexico needs to be worried, not us. Is the rest of the world going to quarantine us? Hell, I would not blame them one bit. We’re got some infectious contagious idiot in this damn state.
Thanks to Web for the heads up.
