Napolitano Says, If You Are Sick, Stay Home

Lord, help us, Napolitano is in charge! We have a possible pandemic in the works and Janet is in charge.

This weekend she said, "Right now we don't think the facts warrant more active testing or screening of passengers coming in from Mexico." She has a point. Why bother with testing legal visitors to the US when you're allowing thousands to cross the border illegally?

When a public health emergency was declared, Napolitano said, "sounds more severe that really it is." What does that mean? She doesn't think the threat of a deadly virus running rampant is severe? No, she's talking about the steps taken to contain it. "This is standard operating procedure and allows us to free up federal state and local agencies and their resources for prevention and mitigation," she said. She also said, “We’re preparing in an environment where we really don’t know ultimately what the size or seriousness of this outbreak is going to be.”

Janet offered this help to the American people. "If you are sick, stay home," Napolitano said.

So, we're really doing nothing to stop this thing from spreading. Yet, Doctor Richard Besser, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "Given the reports out of Mexico, I would expect that over time we're going to see more severe disease in this country."

Lord, help us, Napolitano is in charge.
