Don't focus too much on Ebola, warns the Queen

The Queen warned last night that focusing too much attention on the Ebola outbreak could lead to an upsurge in other deadly diseases such as malaria.

At an event alongside world leaders in the science of infectious diseases yesterday, she asked ‘piercing’ questions about how the disease ought to be controlled.

And the monarch said she worried that Ebola, which has claimed 5,000 lives already, risked overshadowing the risk from other deadlier diseases like malaria, which kills the same number every week.

UofPenn medical school has done a study about bed bugs carrying Chagas (hypothetically but since bed bugs bite, such blood out, it wouldn’t surprise me if a virus could live for a day or so on the bed bug and then be transferred to the next human meal as well as other blood born diseases).

Welcome to the third-World USA :(

Well, if all the miseries of the third world are readily available here, all we need to do is turn off the Great Teat and the third world should go home. That'd probably keep a lot of them there anyway.

Agree

What? We can’t multi-task now?

The West is enough to attract billions without welfare or social programs.

The West is enough to attract billions without welfare or social programs.

I agree that freedom, opportunity, and security are attractive enough incentives.

If they want to come here and be Americans, without us picking up the tab, that is one thing, but then they come here and live in enclaves with little enough culturally different, often on our dime.

So cut them off. No more publicly funded welfare for non-citizens (for starters). Charities who chose to shell out can do so with private money.

If there is no need for fiscal incentives other than the opportunity to come here and be a success, why present them?

That isn’t going to happen and everyday that legal immigration continues, the less likely it becomes.

We need to just end importing millions of people to this already crowded nation.
