No this was not a "United States" problem, but we could have helped stop this before it became our problem. Was this left alone because it was primarily killing poor black people? We involve ourselves in other people's wars and issues all of the time, was it because there was nothing in it for us to gain by helping?
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better...paranoia? We will see!

I'm talking about the public....not government or administration and paranoia doesn't address the problem. A appropriate reaction from all does.When the public is informed it helps any system not get slowed down as they address the problem.
When I say paranoia I mean like the over reaction that some folks did after sept 11 .....calling reporting suspicious folks just because they were were from the Middle East and/or wore a turbin.In the early 80,s there was over reaction from some folks about aids too,not helping injured folks, as folks were educated and informed about what to do and not to do that paranoia was stopped.
I do whole heatedly agree that ALL agency's need to get on this and soon as they should on all matters affecting the health and safety of ALL communities......and country's.
