With fears the disease may get a toehold in Nigeria’s most populous city, Lagos, the head of the World Health Organization warned that the virus in West Africa was outstripping efforts to control it.
“It would be foolish for us to think it couldn’t spread. I think this is a potential worldwide threat,” said Ebola expert G. Richard Olds, dean of the School of Medicine at UC Riverside, noting that in past outbreaks of highly infectious diseases, including SARS, AIDS and monkey pox, the diseases eventually reached the U.S.

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...
And sweat.
Good morning, nully. Busy day on the pandemic front.
It’s been quite the week...
You’re doing a great job!
I stand on the shoulders of gnats...
LOL!
Be careful, those gnats may have ebola...
Uh, giants...
Either one is an interesting visual image.
Let’s see, I want to create a crisis that would let me suspend almost ALL constitutional protections regarding due process. I want to do it in a way that most Americans would initially agree with. I want it to be in full swing by 2016. Then I can “suspend†writs and rights at whim. Most will be so scared that they will agree to almost anything. Bada-bing, Bada-boom. Marshall law and Obama is dictator for as long as his handlers want. Yep, Ebloa might be just the ticket, but I can’t wait until it gets here by itself, I know, I’ll import it (on strictly humanitarian grounds)
“You’re probably right. If you don’t eat an infected chimpanzee’s ass in the Congo, you’re just not going to contract Ebola. Pretty simple really.”
And do you think the American doctor and nurse did that and that’s how they contracted ebola?!
And do you think they would wear all that protective clothing if that were the case?
Wake up and smell reality.
“Let’s see, I want to create a crisis that would let me suspend almost ALL constitutional protections regarding due process. “
You might be closer to the truth and plan, than we would wish...
And not to get alarmist or anything, tinfoil or no, but Obama issued and executive order giving him total power in case of war or natural disaster — I think an ebola outbreak would qualify.
Obama’s Executive Order Authorizes Peacetime Martial Law
March 18, 2012
“In fact, the specific sections of the order make it clear that the President may take complete command and control of the country’s natural resources in peacetime, as well.
The last line of the quoted material gives the President of the United Staes the power to “control the general distribution of any material (including services) in the civilian market.” This seems to be no less than the nationalization of all food, energy, water, and healthcare pipelines and providers in the country. And to help him keep tabs on all this responsibility, he assigns a cabinet member to each category of control.”
I know! I know! Maybe we could hold a conference in a heavily populated city, like D.C., and invite people from Africa to attend!
Considering that the transmissions of AIDs took a very specific and intentional act, Ebola may pose a much greater risk for exposure to innocents should it escape containment.
There are many leftists who want this to happen.
No, Innovative. Hence my point.
