The Georgia Guide stones mysteriously had the year 2014 placed on them a few months ago.
Sounds like someone is ahead of the curve!
...or RESPONSIBLE for the curve!!!
> Now comes this outbreak ...
wiki sez: “Researchers believe that a 2-year-old boy was the index case of the current Ebola virus disease epidemic. He died on 6 December 2013 in the village of Meliandou, Guéckédou Prefecture” (Guinea).
Probably got it from eating an infected animal or being bitten by one (monkey or bat). The whole family is no longer around to ask.
The persistent natural reservoir for EHF is not known (it would have have to survive in the host, but not materially affect lifespan and reproduction). People have been trying to figure it out ever since the virus was identified.
Monkeys, bats and other wildlife in those areas carry Ebola. That is where it originated from.
The Ebola situation is this. It is weaponized, airborne and of a size of .08 microns or smaller. This is a deliberate attack on the United States by clearly identifiable rouge individuals within the United States Government.
The objective is depopulation, economic collapse and the institution of a complete tyrannical system of control.
God save the United States of America.
Not as important as saliva. Read this http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/196/Supplement_2/S142.full
Not a very effective weapon if nobody in the apartment got infected. The size of the virus is basically irrelevant. It probably becomes airborne in small droplets of body fluids in acute cases.
lol. Good to know - thanks.
The concept of being twice the incubation period is not new. There are always outliers. But at some point you have to let people go.
Those making the ebola battle plans are of the same mind as those who are fighting ISIS. I had one question and it was answered in the article. If the numbers will rise, WHERE DOES THAT PUT OUR MILITARY (4000 NOT 3K)?
America has promised to build 17 100-bed units in the coming months. However, thanks again to the power of exponential growth, if the number of beds can be doubled only at more or less the same rate that the virus doubles the number of cases, the disease’s head start will grow ever more overwhelming. For the caseloads predicted for late November and December, the 70% treatment level seen as needed to bring things under control corresponds to tens of thousands of beds.”
GET THEM HOME NOW.
500,000 people a year die from malaria. The military has to worry about malaria, yellow fever and ebola.
GET THEM HOME NOW.
Actually, I believe, the growth rate seems to be logarithmic rather than linear.
The article stated that the “Ro” (excuse my lack of knowledge in using fonts and special characters) “R sub zero” is between 1.5 and 2.2. Ro is expressed as a percent.
Using the growth rate relationship of Y1=Y0e^kt (Y sub 1 is equal to Y sub zero times e raised to the constant k times time) with (100 x k = Ro) Ro of 1.5 and time expressed in days, with Y0 (of October 15) at 8997. In six weeks (t=42), there would be 16,893 cases (which agrees with your statement of 16,000), however at an Ro of 2.2, it would be over 22,660.
If it doubled every 3 weeks, Using the baseline (October 15) of 8997, in three weeks it would be 17,994 and double that (another 3 weeks) is 35,998 not 16,000.
Other than that, I found your post to be informative. Wish you well.
That is the worst case for the U.S. the worst case for the world is it appearing in China or India. There is much more US travel between us and those counties. We can contain West Africa. We cannot contain Asia.
“Have no fear. Our fearless leader will make sure the misery is distributed fairly.”
This is just another aspect of “socialized medicine”.
It lives in some animals in the wild. It is thought to be in some bats and primates. The first case was probably someone exposed to it through bushmeat or bat droppings.
It never really goes away. But in the past the outbreaks have been in such remote locations it simply ran out of fuel. (People are fuel.)
The hospital where Patient Zero expired has been reported to be a virtual ghost town.
Let one illness report come from say a Dallas Cowboy New York Giant football game, which takes place tomorrow.
The effectiveness of that weapon will be crystal clear to you them.
Logarithmic growth rates never last long, though, except maybe for the Big Bang.
the worst is yet to come here as well... a lot worse I fear. The bullheaded or intentional terrifying path the administration is on now can only lead to sure disaster.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.
