The purpose is not for them to aid in the fight against the Ebola Virus. The purpose is to get as many of them exposed to the virus as possible. And to bring it back over here[ the U.S.] There should be a howl of protest so loud that it could be heard on the sun, but actually, very few care. Lost is the fact that these are someone’s son, daughter, wife husband, nephew, niece , not cannon fodder for obama’s grand plan. Every son of a bitch that voted for Obama should have the decency to leave the United States. And never return.

4 hours is how long “diversity” training takes.

Our socialist/fascist leaders want, no desire a widespread outbreak. Then they will call for Marshal law. Many who oppose the left will themselves in camps with those who have the virus. They will never be heard from again.......

I swear, i feel like I am posting complete WTF stories in the morning only to realise they are as true as they can be, totally scares me as to the attitude displayed......

We are in Satan's Time.

This is a time of GREAT EVIL.

Do not be surprised to hear ANYTHING. Do not be surprised if you read that Obama has declared a standing pardon for anyone who kills and eats a child of 2 years or under in age. Do not be surprised to hear that the Justice Department establishes mandatory rape centers where women are secured on rape-conveyor-belts, and that all white women are to report. Do not be surprised to hear that the EPA will take over churches and temples, and that they are all to be converted to Satanism.

No matter what you hear, do not be suprised, and do not be shocked.

This is a time of universal and absolute evil.

How much time does it take to train someone to shoot anyone who attempts to leave a town or village and to burn bodies w/gasoline.

They already know how to shoot so it must be use of the match causing problems.

I'm afraid I won't be delivered to such a place alive.

And I'm afraid I'll be taking a few motherhuggers along for the ride.

"A whole 4 hours?"

Well that is three hours more training than what many local community type hospitals are doing.

This is unbelievable. This is NOT what the military said they were going to do. Our guys were supposed to be isolated from the population, NOT staying in a freaking local hotel. This means that they’re eating the local fare, as well.

WHY isn’t USAMRIID running this show?? They’re the experts on Ebola. They need to be in charge. They need to be in charge of all of this - here and abroad.

I’m not an Ebola expert, but I do understand how germs are transmitted and I understand what steps must be taken to stop that. Quarantine is the method of choice for an outbreak and it has been for thousands of years. You have to go *over* and *above* with precautions. One slip-up and you’ve got two sick nurses on your hands.

This whole situation is making me sick.

“U.S. Soldiers Get Just Four Hours of Ebola Training”

So! In just five minutes of reading how the nurse student in Liberia successfully cared for four family member, three of whom survived, and never contracted the disease herself, was about all I need. Throw in another five minutes to review what MSF does. Multiple layers of protection all over, and extremely cautions removal of layers, never touching a surface which may have touched contaminated fluids.

More than I expected president ebola to allow.

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...

It's almost like they want ebola to come here.

According to twitter, I’ve counted at least 56,000 US troops in Liberia. What the he!! is going on?

You forgot Obama wants to send in the National Guard too...

If infection rates overwhelm the military - and the national guard's down, submarine leadership purged, I'm going to assume the worst case is a take over of the United States.

Of course that's unlikely unless there's an armed shadow army... and surely someone would notice federal agencies buying large quantities of weapons and bullets. Or building death camps... Does anyone know how many "Homeland" and "FEMA" folks are going to Africa to 'help'? Or if Benghazi was a dry run to see how many 'officers' would let American SEALS die rather than disobey orders? Then lie to cover?

On the other hand the most likely 'thing that's going on' is that democrats running things are incompetent, uncaring and in way over their heads. In which case we'll figure it out, make things better and get over this quickly.

Those are the two extremes. I'm still betting on well-meaning but incompetent.

Training isn't enough. The procedures have to become ingrained...

Excellent point. If your training does not allow you to respond automatically, almost without thinking, then you really haven't been trained.

Four hours! ? It takes longer to train a soldier how to clean his weapon.

To send the Screaming Eagles for this...is baffling at best.

Recruiting offices will soon be empty. But that’s all part of the plan.
