Patient Zero (Ebola and Immigration)

As Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies points out, there were many reasons why Thomas Eric Duncan should never have been allowed to enter the United States. It turns out that the simple, prophylactic measures which ensure the fiscal and cultural vibrancy of this country-or which used to do so, at any rate-also have immense public health benefits, e.g. preventing the diffusion of an incredibly fatal pandemic.

The fact that lax customs and border procedures have endangered American citizens should come as no surprise to those of us who have been following the epidemiological nightmare which has emerged from this administration’s embrace of the thousands of unaccompanied minors streaming into our country from Central America, via Mexico.

However, I’d like to briefly explore the way in which this case illustrates the fundamental divide that lies at the heart of immigration to the West from the third world. Namely, the desires of those who are mired in poverty-and in this case, who are forced to rely upon parlous healthcare distribution networks-versus the needs of those who are living in developed nations such as the United States and United Kingdom.

Well done, Gerard

I thought Obama swore to uphold the constitution and protect the country from all emimies, foreign and domestic. Failed on all counts.

Patient Zero because of President Zero.

Not that we ever heard. He intentionally flubbed his swearing how many times and supposedly was to have gotten it right behind closed doors. Strange, the US citizens were never shown that video. Maybe it happened. Maybe it didn't. Maybe he had his fingers crossed or it was merely a lie to the infidels. Either way, the only promise he's held true to is standing by his muzzy bros.

So did all the congress critters who put on the kneepads and failed to vet him.

Bambi is not the only guilty one.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...
