Great news that the vaccine is being mass produced. I have serveral thoughts on the experimental drugs and working in pharmaceutical research I totally understand that there are parameters in which patients have to meet before recieving a treatment. Dallas patient 0 may not have met those parameters to recieve the drug at a given time point. There have been many balls dropped on the hospitals end, the governments and the patient as well.

I do think by having civil rights activists involved brings up a much bigger question that shouldn't be ignored. Think about it, so if 3000 people in a 3rd world country have died and we live in a global and traveling world its not impossible for it to make it to our borders and on American Soil. To be proactive would have been the better choice so we would be prepared here for such a scenario. Also why wouldn't we close our borders like other countries have, it must not have gotten to that point as of yet. Ebola got in front of us sometime around March of this year and the lives that its effecting are people with a darker skin tone but if it had been a European Country or America that the epidemic started with would we still say that 3000 people have died. I think not. There's a little racial component in there somewhere if we want to admit it or not. But that's not the point. The point is we have a health issue on our hands that can impact all of us and we have enough intelligent scientists and gurus to come up with some form of solution. Lives will be lost and arguments will be had. But we have to be aware, take the necessary precautions, pray to whatever higher entity you believe in and have compassion for others.
