CDC Research on Ebola^

This is short, because it does not need to be long. The reference is from the Washington Times.
The CDC knows little about the Ebola virus. For example, CDC does not know how the virus is transmitted from person to person. It does not know what drugs will kill it in an infected person. It does not know the length of time the virus remains virile for transmission to person-to-person. I could go on and on.
The CDC admits to this lack of knowledge and says it was unable to do the necessary research because of budget cuts by Congress in CDC funding. The Washington Times says that during the same time period of budget cuts, millions of dollars were paid in bonuses to CDC employees. In effect, employees were paid bonuses to do nothing on improving CDC's knowledge of the Ebola virus. Need I say more?
