Purdue professor says Ebola 'primed' to go airborne

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The first case of Ebola transmitted between patients in America has experts across the country reviewing safety protocols.

At Purdue University, Dr. David Sanders has been studying the virus since 2003 – specifically how this particular Zaire strain of Ebola enters human cells.

While the virus has thus far only been shown to be transferred via bodily fluids, Sanders argues that it could become airborne.

"It can enter the lung from the airway side," Sanders said. "So this argues that Ebola is primed to have respiratory transmission.

"We need to be taking this into consideration," he continued. "What if? This is not a crazy, 'What if?' This is not a wild, 'What if?'"(continued)

Bingo. Just thinking the same thing...but on the PLANE. Air recirculation and (unknown to me) maintenance/cleaning of same (or even if they have some kind of anti-XYZ scrubbers)

A request for a favor, please. Love it when you humor me and a good humor ice cream bar works just fine but my request is this ... always let me know you are kidding. Love your kidding but toons and photos, of that nature, bother me. I'm certain you want to bother me and in email, to you, I made clear to you what you could do to me with my blessing. My caring is for you. The toon and photos of that type I do not care for, thus am certain you have an entire repertoire lined up to hit me with. Is okay. Just always be here till naturally the time is up is all am asking. I cannot and will not promise to stop my caring about you.

I would not put it past globalist billionaires to attempt massive population reduction for a number of reasons.

First, some are into man-made global warming caused by overpopulation. They see humans as no more than roaches infesting their globe. Second, with the coming age of robots, unskilled human beings will be worthless to life; just welfare suckers. Third, conservatives in the US continue to expose their schemes and block their progress to an agenda 21 human existence and management. Many believe in the power to abort living being when they become useless eaters. They want to control birth and restrict it to people who have qualifying genes. They have ambitions to turn humans into super computers with microchips and Americans (conservatives) won’t go silently into the night.

When I see no more pictures or toons of the type mentioned for ten years ... we can discuss it on a ‘best friend’ level. Till then I’m worried about you.

You are a great friend Laz. I don’t mind the firearms pointed at me. No problem what-so-ever with those. A welcome sight Laz. A most welcome sight.

A "great friend"? Better, but not good enough.

I warned you. This zombie gets it.

How many more need to die, n.t.i.? HOW MANY MORE?

Well since I mentioned in last post I’m a zombie, I thought you caught that .... (sigh). I have an antidote for my condition and have downed the hatch. If allowed will join in a BANG of the Magic Bullets and shout out for the remainder of the zombies to come out. Take ‘em all out Laz. It’s the only way. BANG BANG BANG ... Three more down. It is only way. Shoot for the Head just as you did. Love it when zombies die!

The very first thing the United States should do in case of Global Pandemic is stop Airline Travel, period, I mean all of it from oversea’s until it’s snuffed out. Am I wrong here? Why do we wear protective suits yet allow flights in from infected countries, aren’t they one and the same, the protective suit for the doctor, the no fly for the country, each is a protective barrier, I just don’t get it, it’s like we long to be wiped out?

Shemitah's first 2 weeks bring ominous signs
Stock market tumbles, Ebola comes to U.S., ISIS on move in Iraq
On the first day of the Shemitah year, Sept. 25, the first case of Ebola was diagnosed on U.S. soil, when Thomas Eric Duncan checked into a hospital in Dallas, Texas.

Duncan died on Oct. 8, the day that a blood moon appeared in the sky, the second of a rare series of four lunar eclipses that will occur on Jewish High Holy Days between autumn of 2014 and autumn of 2015.

While looking at the past for clues to understanding our present, I read something about 1918, the year of both the end of WWI and the Spanish flu pandemic, as being a year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:8, 10).

To be honest, this material can be a bit confusing for a lo-info guy like me and I'm having trouble putting it altogether, but it's hard not to notice that things are quite a bit more out of kilter than usual in the neighborhood and feels like music building toward a crescendo ending.

This all inspires such an odd sense of being calmly spooked by the events around me.

Kinda different, but way better than the rationally abject panic I would have felt with the mindset and attitude I was driving around in a decade ago.
