Bravo to Time magazine. There were rumors about loser Ferguson/Garner protesters/looters would be selected.

Dentist offices across the Nation eagerly await the issue.

They are the unsung heros in an effort to battle back a major disease.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

That will actually be an article worth reading, even if it is Time Magazine.

[BitWielder1]

Yes, the ones on the front lines but not the ones who flew on planes and ran around in the US without taking the necessary precautions.

The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight. For tireless acts of courage and mercy, for buying the world time to boost its defenses, for risking, for persisting, for sacrificing and saving, the Ebola fighters are TIME’s 2014 Person of the Year.

Good choice...

Time did us proud.

Hard to believe a MSM outfit did NOT use this opportunity to give us the finger. Thanks ‘Time’...

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...

Of course the nut jobs are out giving Time a hard time for not choosing Ferguson/Garner looters:

Where do I go to claim my prize?

[molson209]

but what the H E 2 sticks are Ebola Fighters ?

Simultaneously, diluting the honor...

• M-tvU Names Kaci Hickox & John Oliver 'Woman and Man of the Year'

  "A volunteer nurse with Doctors Without Borders, Hickox fought the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone and battled misinformation by challenging a mandatory quarantine order upon her return to the United States."

Person of the Year (called Man of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, group, idea or object that "for better or for worse...has done the most to influence the events of the year".

TIME Unveils Finalists for 2014 Person of the Year

Given their finalists, this was a non-controversial and politically correct choice.

But if Time was still a serious news organization, how about Putin? This might be analogous to choosing finalists including Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and the doctors and nurses fighting the influenza epidemic of 1938. And picking the influenza fighters. There are little doubt that third-world epidemic disease is significant, but is it that significant to the world at large?

[Responsibility2nd]

Time Magazine will regret this.

While I applaud them for selecting the Ebola fighters, do they not realize that A CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY DOCTOR is the embodiment of the Ebola fighters?

Dr. Kent Brantly.

[DoodleDawg]

Better choice than the Ferguson mob.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping...

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

[Verginius Rufus]

The editors of Time are obviously racists, or they would have picked Michelle Obama for her valiant efforts to make kids in public schools eat healthy lunches.

These threads have sure come a long way since the first few months, it is a nice advancement.
