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...

They’d probably be satisfied with 349 million.

“Are the embassies in the three countries that are most affected still processing all visa applications?” a reporter asked.

“Yes, they are,” she said.

And that, my friends is a large portion of the problem. Would any of you be issuing visas to nationals of these countries right now???? President Obola is.

Bonus question. Is knowingly importing a deadly disease to the US an impeachable offense???

$40 billion is a drop in the bucket world-economy wise, and not a good rationalization for allowing unfettered travel.

If a person wants to travel to or from West African nations, then they need to be prepared to fund their own isolation for 21 days upon return. Don’t have the money in the bank for isolation costs then don’t travel.

Need to conduct business? skype or gotomeeting works well enough.

Shut it down and isolate the epidemic.

I see that same photo being posted at least once every single day. I know it’s from a Mel Brooks comedy, but it’s still sort of morbid. But that’s just me.

did not have symptoms of the disease when he left Liberia or when he arrived in the United States, the CDC says
______________________________________

this is so irresponsible of them to say such a thing..

1. the CDC were not there noir examined or tested him in his country before he got on the plane..

2. the CDC were not there not examined or tested him the day he arrived in the US..

How would they know for certain ???

this guy and his “family” are liars...

The State Department is evidently stubbornly waiting until after next month’s elections to find out the hard way what the public’s tolerance for number of ebola victims is.

Jen is 19 years old. How is she going to know that?

Even if there is not even one more case, the expense and disruption of screening, isolating suspected cases, etc., far exceeds any benefit Americas enjoy as a result of travel from west Africa.

Monty Python.

Yeah, it’s morbid. We laugh at death.

Lately, I’ve been posting it dozens of times a day. Can’t wait until its back to a few times a week.

Yeah, I’m sort of sick of that terrible photo he keeps posting to ping these threads.

Hey Null and Void-—how about something like an Obama/Ebola bumper sticker instead?

We already know that the State Dept. will sacrifice its own so how much would they really care about us peons?

If there's any doubt, any longer, about the intentions of these evil Marxists, then we are completely beyond help.

” ... by isolating these countries, it would make it harder to help them. It will spread more there, and we’d be likely to be exposed more here. So there are reasons for finding ways to address this and address it in ways that are – don’t intervene as – with passengers, while still allowing these countries to travel.”
Jen P.

This kind of BS is this Idiocracy administration’s specialty:
Why, if America quarantines individuals who might be infected, actually we would be less secure ...

“Why do we wave Wahabbis and Liberians through airport security, while making Mr. and Mrs. Joe America spread `em? Because we can.”

In other words, “We know it doesn’t make any sense .... but if you don’t smoke Tarleton, f*** you.”

...the State Department has not changed its procedures for issuing visas to people travelling to the United States from Ebola-stricken country.

Maybe Kerry thinks he lives in Unicorn land where he can't catch this...
