Hajj Pilgrims From Ebola-Stricken Nations Banned In Saudi Arabia Mecca
IBD Times ^ | 10/02/2014 | Esther Tanquintic-Misa

Saudi Arabia has announced it will be rejecting pilgrims from Ebola-stricken nations who want to observe the annual Hajj in Mecca. This is to reduce risks of the virus getting into the Muslim country.

Hospitals and relative medical institutions have reportedly been alerted to prepare in case the Ebola springs up at one of the pilgrims already within the country. Over 22,000 general practitioners have also been tapped to deal with the pilgrims should any medical emergency arise.

Visas to pilgrims from those countries will not be entertained, the Saudi government said, according to the same report.

There is an explanation. Our fearless leader WANTS to bring Africans into the USA for treatment. In his “mind”, it’s unfair for Africans to have the disease and for Americans to not have it.

So he has deliberately refused to close the borders to people from infected countries. Intentionally, with full knowledge and awareness of the consequences.

Amazing. Even they get it.

When will they ban us?

How far will this go?

I predict the seeds of a world depression are being planted.

The view will be if the US can get it and can’t contain it how can anyone else possibly hope to be successful?

OBAMA OPEN US DOORS TO A DOUBLE WHAMMY FROM AFRICA - TERRORISM OR EBOLA

Doomsday warning: UN Ebola chief raises 'nightmare' prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious

United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne

The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.

The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human 'melting pot' NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour

More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began

Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus British survivor says 'horror' of children dying from disease must be avoided

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne

Nov 21, 2012 | Jane Huston | Research & Policy –

http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/pigs-monkeys-ebola-goes-airborne-112112#sthash.srRHtwa1.dpuf

The Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.

When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.

They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.

In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.

While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.

Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.

What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.

Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest "Lying CDC"

Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden

"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.

Because the Saudis actually don't want to deliberately collapse their own country like our Traitor-in-Chief.

I think you are correct. This is under “List of ebola outbreaks in Wiki; very embarrassing for me as a U.S.citizen:

2013-2014

Guinea
Liberia[note 5]
Nigeria
Senegal
Sierra Leone
United States

The mohammedans who run Saudi Arabia don’t want the mohammedans visiting mecca and median to get sick.

The mohammedan who runs the former United States of America doesn’t give a rat’s ass if the infidel denizens thereof get sick.

Hussein has his sights set on the utopia he intends to force on us.

Dang it if all these little things keep getting in his way, like Benghazi, IRS problems ... and pesky viruses.

Looks like they get it—Our PC will destroy us in the end. I have found in the study of history that the things that make a nation or empire great—will in time destroy them. Our PC, MuliCulturalism, Tolerence and goodness will be turned on us as a weapon and destroy America.

I’m not much for conspiracy theories (I used to work in “the government”) but....

What better excuse to declare martial law and suspend elections than an ebola epidemic in the US....

This is going to become involved with Obamacare somehow. He's gonna do another presidential dictate...if you're sick....go to the doctors....Obamacare will have you covered no matter what. That was the goal...to insure everyone.

And when you're done at the doctors, line up for the kool-aid.

Now that the US has ebola, does this mean that US muslims cannot go to Saudi Arabia?
