On Thursday, Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control, admitted that Africa's porous land borders made the Ebola crisis worse.

In a statement to the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, Frieden said the "current epidemic in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone" is the "biggest and most complex Ebola challenge the world has ever faced." He said he feared the disease could spread even more in Africa.

"The porous land borders among countries and remoteness of many villages have greatly complicated control efforts," Frieden conceded in his prepared statement, noting that there have been Ebola cases "imported into Nigeria and Senegal from the initially-affected" West African nations.

The illegals are the vehicle for sickness to weaken the American people permanently. Time to deport them all. Activate the DEPORTATION MILITIA!

Sounds pretty stupid coming from somebody who thinks allowing airplane flights to come here from the infected countries is a good idea.

"He said he feared the disease could spread even more in Africa."

I had no idea we governed Africa. I thought the Belgians, French, and British were the last to be running that $hit hole of a place? I also thought they insisted on minding to their own affairs?

Thank God we don't have that problem here!!!

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...

Somehow, Dr Frieden believes that if he tells everyone to please come in through the front door, he will be able to keep track of everyone in the house. Meanwhile, the back door, the bulkhead, and every window on the first floor is wide open. He can check everyone who enters through the front door and believe he is in control of things.

He was really evasive here and there, wasn’t he?

None of these obolabots make any sense at all.

“Oceana has always been at war with Eastasia”

Health through illness

Security through open borders

Big Brother is watching...

This clown is perfect for the obama administration. He’s about 105% idiot with a dash of moron for good measure.

Sounds like a job for Doctor's without Borders.

Or maybe Men without Hats. I would not be surprised if Frieden started promoting the safety dance as a prophylaxis for ebola. It would make as much sense as some of his other recommendations.

Their agenda is to kill us all. That’s gotta be it.

"Porous Land Borders" certainly assisted the spread of Central American enteroviruṣ(polio?) into and throughout the USofA. why are porous borders a bad thing in Africa and a good thing in America- a question for the Sultan.

The big problem in western Africa is the very poor sanitary conditions that make transmission of the Ebola virus happen fairly quickly. This is akin to the poor sanitary conditions in Europe that led to the fast spread of the bubonic plague between 1346 and 1353 and cholera between 1829 and 1851.
