Fear, mistrust of Western medicine and difficulties reaching remote areas mean hundreds of potentially infected people have not yet been found Hundreds of West Africans could be carrying the deadly Ebola virus and not know it, potentially infecting hundreds more, as cash-strapped governments and overwhelmed aid agencies struggle to contain the virus's spread.

At least 1,500 people have not yet been traced who are known to have come into contact with others confirmed or suspected to be infected with the haemorrhagic fever, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) told The Telegraph.

Many more could be moving freely in the three countries battling the virus

If ANYONE thinks that Obama and the DH”S” are NOT
planning on bring EBOLA to all 57 States, then they
are not paying attention.

trying to track patients?

I’d suggest checking those buses coming out of the border states and heading to every major US city...

Just cauterize the affected area with some nuclear bursts. Problem solved!

What good comes out of Africa these days?

RE: "If ANYONE thinks that Obama and the DH”S” are NOT planning on bring EBOLA to all 57 States, then they are not paying attention."

Right.

Using my "Remote Viewing for Dummies" I found this future headline.

Headline?

Contagious horde among Central Americans just the first wave?
Obama Considers Second WMD Attack On U.S.!
Obama considers "humanitarian" open borders for those with "mistrust of Western medicine" and fear doctors.

Washington, D.C. Ebola 'out of control' in West Africa . . . .

Bring Out Your Dead

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’s a tropical virus that does not like air conditioning and is for the most part a blood borne virus with a short life cycle. Not a huge problem in a 1st world country with a modern medical system. Isolate the victims and it will burn itself out in a week or two.
