President Obama Already Has An Ebola Czar. Where Is She?

The Federalist ^ | Mollie Hemingway

... What’s particularly interesting about this discussion, then, is that nobody has even discussed the fact that the federal government not ten years ago created and funded a brand new office in the Health and Human Services Department specifically to coordinate preparation for and response to public health threats like Ebola. The woman who heads that office, and reports directly to the HHS secretary, has been mysteriously invisible from the public handling of this threat. And she’s still on the job even though three years ago she was embroiled in a huge scandal of funneling a major stream of funding to a company with ties to a Democratic donor—and away from a company that was developing a treatment now being used on Ebola patients.

She (he?) beats John F’ing Kerry for the horse face title.

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...

In the federal government, that's called "Tuesday."

Bump for later.

Great report, thank you.

You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!

$592,527 to study why chimpanzees throw objects.

I can do the same thing for under $500 - that includes gas, a cooler filled with beer and sammiches, and drive to Ferguson, MO and observe them in their native habitat...

One obvious pattern here is: A virtually unknown Surgeon General for 5 years, a virtually unknown White house chief of staff—first one quit like the surgeon general, and now this completely unknown. Bet this would lead back to Valerie Jarrett as well as Obama.
