Washington D.C.— With the passing of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first U.S. patient diagnosed with Ebola, and two more confirmed cases, Ebola has the nation in a state of unrest. In response to the widespread panic, President Barack Obama met with his cabinet on Wednesday and Thursday, finally deciding on appointing former chief of staff Ron Klain “Ebola czar.”

Obama told reporters late Thursday night that he believes it “may be appropriate” to appoint one person to be in charge of all things related to Ebola. “It may make sense for us to have one person, in part just so that after this initial surge of activity, we can have a more regular process just to make sure that we’re crossing all the t’s and dotting all the i’s going forward,” President Obama said.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that Klain’s management experience and government contacts are reasons he was selected for the position. “He is the right person for the job,” Earnest said. “[And] integrating the interagency response.”

During a two-hour meeting, President Obama promised to find out what safety procedures the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital neglected to complete that allowed two nurses become infected. Recent interviews disclose that the hospital provided nurses with insufficient safety gear and basic precautions were disregarded.

“I watched them violate basic principles of nursing,” Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital nurse Brianna Aguirre said during an interview on the Today Show Thursday. “I would try anything and everything to refuse to go there to be treated. I would feel at risk by going there. If I don’t actually have Ebola, I may contract it there.”

With the looming disease, the citizens of America look to the White House for executive peace of mind and directions.
