Ruters ^

Posted on 02/14/2015 6:56:16 PM PST by BenLurkin

Crowds destroyed an Ebola facility and attacked health workers in central Guinea on rumors that the Red Cross was planning to disinfect a school, a government spokesman said on Saturday.

Red Cross teams in Guinea have been attacked on average 10 times a month over the past year, the organization said this week, warning that the violence was hampering efforts to contain the disease.

The article states “angry residents.” Is this like “angry youths”? Are they terrorists trying to spread the disease?

Sad when sarcasm is the only voice of reason.

A Phyllis Wheatley poem. (Wheatley was a famous poet and slave who spoke of being saved from Africa)

Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their colour is a diabolic dye.”
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.

How about we send them a few thousand Democrats to help rebuild? We get rid of a plague, they burn some Leftists and get rid of a plague. Win/win...

That African dictator son who built that yacht is from Guinea, where the total monies spent on ALL med care and education for the WHOLE COUNTRY totalled less than what was spent on that yacht.

And then the Red Cross is brought in to control an epidemic.

Charity is CONTRIBUTING to the problem, see..?

They are RELYING on it.

THIS is the Malibu mansion of the son of Guinea --it costs $35 million:

THIS, while they "can't afford" to control an Ebola epidemic, which is foisted off onto the Red Cross, which is then attacked by Guinean mobs.

“About 85% of Guineans are musl_m.”
I’ll buy a vowel, Vanna.

This was a problem in some of the -stan countries, too, where int’l health authorities came close to wiping out such things as smallpox and polio.
But the local mullahs told their stone age congregations that the infidels were trying to sterilize them, so they’re still screwed.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

It must be tricky in African nations...they can’t blame nonexistent ‘racism’ for irrational mobs.

it will be interesting to see if humanity is destroyed by plagues or by low birth rates and high mortality rates.

Since is their wish let them slip backwards into darkness. Quarantine the whole country. The disease will burn itself out over time

Turd worlders have the advantage of the `tattoo’ or `Bubba’ rule:
In an emergency room, the bigger the Bubba or the more tattoos, the less likely the chances of death for the patient.

Of course, something they shrug off will cut through us like a combine through wheat.
Can’t help `em, quarantine `em or MOABs, or both.
