Thanks.

Now, how many of our food service people meticulously clean their hands after they’ve been potty?

"Africa: How Ebola Could Head Out of Africa "

Whaddaya mean "How?"

The Usurper gave it a First Class ticket, that's "how."

We need to find out why some people survive. I’m sure many are after this information but, in the long run, it may be the most crucial to meeting this threat.

“Between 1976 and 2013, the virus caused 1,388 cases of Ebola haemorrhagic fever in the DRC and the neighbouring republics of Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville, killing 1,098 people, a 79% fatality rate.”

These hard numbers indicate to me that this is just the latest “diversion-from-the-Bolshevik-revolution-in-the-US” news story, simply a sensationalized distraction. Chicago could lose that number of people in a couple of months, and these were spread over almost 40 years.

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...

Containment of Ebola virus poses three problems: preventing its spread through international travel, preventing its local expansion in Guinea and surrounding areas, and an understanding of the virus' evolution. Clearly there is a lot of work still to be done, or horror fiction will become reality.

...but more than 700 have died in the past five months. That is concerning. Especially when they are airlifting victims to Atlanta.

The bad news is that the Ebola Virus can stay active for an unknown period of time in the scrotum of male survivors, according to an internet article that i read- - - so it MUST be true!

BHO would love nothing more than an epidemic to help distract from the issues and to increase his power and popularity.

Illegals in this country kill a lot more than that, and the story is ignored. This is just a diversion from more pressing matters that will certainly have more of an impact on Americans. I don’t see a “Walking Dead” epidemic originating from Atlanta from airlifting some victims there.

I believe that it's imperative that the US medical community - all of them - have an opportunity to solve the Ebola problem - now!

The Muzzies know that they can get their scum to wear bomb belts, and maybe take out one hundred infidels!

Think how efficient it would be to have these suicider's just walk among the world population for five days or so, exposing thousands upon thousands to a death certificate!

It will hit the US fast- best to try to understand how to contain it first-hand!

Not just a first class ticket, a charter flight.

This thread needs a song due to the title.

Call me suspicious, but.....

I have this sneaky feeling that the charter flight is just so there’s an official explanation when the cases start breaking out from our open back door down South.

Call me suspicious, too. I expected MERS this trip, along with TB and some mosquito transmitted lovelies, but this is over the top.

Having failed to provoke the American people to a violent reaction to government abuses, though, there remains one trump card in the 'how to declare martial law' deck: pandemic.
