The first political cartoon to the left is mocking the government directly. The Ebola virus is only growing as a threat as its chances to spread across the U.S. increase day by day. The cartoon mainly focuses on the governments lack of support, concern, and willingness to help. Of course it's hard to understand the frustration and difficulty in the preparation to defend the U.S against the virus but it HAS to be done. There is no other option other than facing it, conquering it and saving lives.
The CDC clearly understands the mistakes they keep repeating but makes no effort to correct them. The citizens put their trust in to them because it's our known instinct to have faith that the CDC will keep us safe no matter what. Well, accidents happen. Accidents that could have been prevented completely with just a bit more concern and precaution. Allowing a citizen that had contact with the deadly virus to enter a flight with other innocent citizens was one big careless mistake. The woman called the CDC asking if she could still take her flight with a low grade fever of 99.4.They reassured her that it was perfectly fine to board the plane but to just keep watch if her symptoms got any worse. Taking a chance like that is one of the main reasons the virus could spread easier than expected. In my opinion, all flights between the U.S and West Africa or Liberia need to be cancelled immediately until the outbreak calms down. Any suspicion of the virus needs to be taken seriously and stopped at the root.
