Washington, D.C. – Instead of heading out for the second day of travel connected to election season, President Obama opt to stay in the White House last Thursday and focus on what options does the government has in response to the Ebola threat that is raising concerns all over the world. The Obama administration is concentrating on what many nations are already considering Ebola to be not only a public health related crisis but a political crisis as well.
Residential aides commented recently that the president’s thinking seeming sudden shift is a needed and natural reaction when dynamic situations occur. They added that the president’s recent aggressive public posture when it comes to Ebola only proves that urgent care for Americans is a top priority for the current administration. Obama immediately called on lawmakers to conduct a private forum with homeland security advisers. This was right after attending fundraisers in the city of New York, and after his Rhode Island economic speech.
During the two-hour long meeting in response to the Ebola threat at the Oval Office, the president showed high concern and extended remarks about the current Ebola situation. President Obama promised that his administration is closely monitoring individuals who could be at risk. He also suggests the consideration of appointing a specific official that would oversee the current crisis.
In response to the Ebola threat, President Obama stated that he and his office had been in constant communication with Ohio’s Governor, John R. Kasich where infected nurses did travel by plane. The president also joined a recent conference call for the workers of urgent care clinics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that are stationed in Dallas, Atlanta, and West Africa. The preparedness of an urgent care clinic and its staff is crucial in containing and even curing any health issue outbreak.
President Obama also had a discussion last Thursday with the Health and Human Service Secretary Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, who is also the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s director and discussed the current Ebola outbreak.
Making sure that an urgent care near me can help care for possible or infected individuals, help prevent panic among U.S. citizens, especially the continuously rising concern that Ebola is already finding ways to reach U.S. shores. The president’s and his administration’s response to the Ebola threat may seem to be late, but many health experts say that it is about time to focus more efforts in containing and better, finding a cure for the Ebola virus.
