The bottom line here is that I have no doubt that we will control this importation or this case of Ebola so that it does not spread widely throughout this country. There's no doubt in my mind, we will stop it here.

The level of outbreak is beyond anything we’ve seen - or even imagined.

I could not possibly overstate the need for an urgent response.

Where you live in the United States shouldn't determine how long and how healthy you live - but it does, far more than it should.

It is the world's first Ebola epidemic, and it's spiraling out of control. It's bad now, and it's going to get worse in the very near future. There is still a window of opportunity to tamp it down, but that window is closing. We really have to act now.
