Ebola, your responsibility, our ministry work Part 2
The occupant of the Oval Office Monday issued a statement on Ebola: “As I’ve said from the start of this outbreak, I consider this a top national security priority.” This, after he claimed on September 16 that chances of an outbreak of Ebola in the US were “extremely low” and “unlikely.” He then listed a number of procedures taken by the government to prevent the spread of Ebola. Trouble is, for anyone who has travelled internationally, these procedures appear routine, as the “president” confirmed, “All passengers leaving affected countries are screened for Ebola symptoms. Such screenings involve a travel health questionnaire, visual assessment for potential illness…” The US government can’t protect you.
On August 7, Beth Bell, a director at the Centers for Disease Control told CNBC that it wasn’t likely that people exposed to Ebola in West Africa will arrive in the US. On September 16, the “president” said, “I want the American people to know that our experts, here at the CDC and across our government, agree that the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low… We’ve been taking the necessary precautions, including working with countries in West Africa to increase screening at airports so that someone with the virus doesn’t get on a plane for the United States. In the unlikely event that someone with Ebola does reach our shores, we’ve taken new measures so that we’re prepared here at home.”
But arrive one did in Dallas and after exposing school children, being refused care at a hospital, and vomiting in the streets–exposing citizens to tremendous risk. This, after, what the “president” says the government taking the necessary precautions–the business as usual of visual assessments and filling out forms. Our ministry partner in West Africa, William Agbeti, explains why the “president’s” efforts are in vain: “As more and more people get infected with ebola in West Africa, where there seems to be no hope in its effective containment and treatment by government institutions, some, if not all, with opportunity to travel to the US and other countries will do so immediately in the hope that their lives will be saved.”
We, as citizens, cannot count on a delusional “president” and his prideful band of appointees to do what is right to protect ourselves and our families from risk of Ebola or any other disease. He has purposely allowed tens of thousands of children to cross our borders illegally and has mainstreamed many of the diseased into public schools. You must take responsibility for your own survival and protection. Government is not God. As written in Joel 2:32 and repeated often in the Bible, “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered.” The government can make no such warranty. Take responsibility for your own life and the lives of your family in all things. The next Daily Jot will give examples of how.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
