CDC Director Testifies on Ebola Threat Before House Committee along with Ken Issacs of Samaritans Purse. CDC says it can be contained but, Mr. Issacs disagrees and says the cat is out of the bag already. If international help does not happen many thousands will be affected and it will be a global problem then, that it may already be to late. Lagos, Nigeria with 21 million people in close quarters might be the next outbreak location with already 8 in isolation, 2 dead. Says Saudi man did die of ebola in Saudi Arabia hospital. Issacs said people are lying dead in the streets in Liberia, people are afraid to touch them. Hospital staff do not even have gloves, which also spreads the disease. Hospital staff are abandoning the hospitals for fear and lack of personal protection equipment. There are threats of burning down the hospitals from the public. Man if Ken Issacs doesnt put the fear of a global epidemic in the House Committee and get them to produce some action I dont know what will.
