Schools are already closing. Airlines. Quarantines.
20 people multiplies that exposure of hundreds to thousands or tens of thousands.
Any public place (malls, movie theater, etc.) will be ghost towns. It’ll cripple an already weak economy.

If this happens, new grounds for impeachment: willful killing of citizens for political reasons. “High crimes and misdemeanors..”
I’d recommend avoiding the wookie’s lunches
And when that happens, somewhere, Obama and his minions will be hoping that the people who get infected live in red states
fyi
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
[Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
“We have a worst-case scenario, and you don’t even want to know,”
Sure we do. Lay it on us.
President Obola has the border wide open.
How many cases before the epidemiologist-in-chief resigns?
Nothing to panc about, just ask Obola!
I guarantee that the Obama admin and dems are already plotting how they could use this to take over hospitals and effect more control over the population. They won’t stop people from coming over here so we will be forced to pay for their incompetence
My usual dry, ironic sense of humor to the side, widespread panic would probably be much more costly than most people realize.
If I worked for an airline and they wanted me to fly in and out of west Africa, they would be looking for my replacement. No way I would want to put my family and friends in danger.
I’d tell them to see if they could get that sorry azz Obama to do the job.
The worse case scenario is if/when Ebola breaks out in some Central American hell hole and rapidly spreads out of control, with a subsequent surge of the infected for the open southern U.S. border that Obama has mandated. With hundreds or even thousands of Ebola-infected Central Americans melting invisibly into the U.S. we’ve then entered “The Stand” phase for our country.
If/when you see Ebola in Central American then that’s the signal to start prepping if you haven’t already.
Sound more like a good science-fiction movie. Or a good political thriller: Marxist Muslim moves into White House. Population has grown too stupid and evil to notice.
