The same "experts" who assured us it would never land here?

[Not now, Not ever!]

Prezactly.

[null and void]

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

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...

[tumblindice]

Cannot predict now. Ask me again later.
Not likely. Thank you, Magic 8 ball.

[Diogenesis]

Liars.

Statistics do not apply to n=1.

And, the system has already failed.

[PROCON]

Yeah, and "Experts" say that man-made globalwarming is going to kill us all, and make unicorns and sock puppets extinct.

Whatever...

0bama said that if an ebola patient came to America, we would have nothing to worry about, and he has never lied to us before, right?

[MNDude]

Uh oh...expert usually means someone who is wrong.

[Vesparado]

Well well, so the real reason we’re not banning entry to people from the Ebola countries emerges at last …

This calls into question every statement recently made by the CDC Director.

[clearcarbon]

"He said that the spread of Ebola in Dallas is very unlikely"

He's underestimating the obama administration.

[Viennacon]

These experts can shove their lies up their smelly obama. We know the score. Can’t have death panels without death. lock and load, patriots. Dark times ahead.

[DouglasKC]

This will work initially. But as long as there is a huge wildfire blazing in Africa there will be more and more sparks arriving all over the world. it’s only a matter of time until a fire starts somewhere else.

“A robust public health system that was quickly alerted...”
________________________________________________________

Who are they kidding? The patient told the doctors that he was from Liberia....didn’t they initially send him home, before he returned to the hospital on his own?

Weren’t his relatives in the apartment, unsupervised, for days?

Wasn’t clothing, bedding, and other items disposed of in a hap-hazard manner?

Wasn’t his vomit washed down the storm drains with a hose?

In light of their initial response to this patient, the experts all remind me of Baghdad Bob.

Anyone think the Ebola disease coming here is to ensure everyone is on Obamacare? The “experts” keep focusing on the idea Ebola will have a hard time spreading is because of advanced medical treatment, but what about healthy people now that do not want to be subjected to the disease and have to even visit a hospital or Dr.? Simply put, I have no need or want for visiting Dr.s now but with Ebola in the equation, I may HAVE to. Obamacare comes in when a person that never needs to visit a Dr. suddenly needs treatment for a disease they cannot avoid.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The good thing about “experts” is that the ones who graduated are right at least 70% of the time.

[Organic Panic]

Whew. That was reassuring. Back to cat videos on youtube everyone.

[dfwgator]

[Mom MD]

must be sarcasm. I did not see a quick or robust response by a public health system. I saw 2 guys with a power washer 3 days after the patient was seen the second time and finally admitted.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Who ya gonna believe? Mother Government or your own lyin’ eyes?

We are in SUCH a world of hurt under these clueless DOLTS.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

What we need are some IT guys who are experts at risk assessment, not untrained medical experts giving opinion. Someone needs to do a comprehensive risk assessment of every point off entry, and the risk of each avenue of spreading.

The greatest risk is studity -- those who are ignorant of how the disease spreads or just don't care. Being that voters appearantly elected an anti-American pro-muslim President twice, threre's a lot of stupid people out there. Once this thing gets into the public there's the potential for it to spread far and wide with devastating consequences.

One principle of risk management, is that unlikely but severe risks must be addressed. There is no comfort in saying an Ebola pandemic is unlikely. What needs to be said is that an Ebola pandemic is impossible because [list reasons here].

[MasterGunner01]

Please be calm. All is well. Ignore that man be hind the curtain, because I am the Great and Powerful Oz.

With all this Ebola panic and disease going around, I don’t think we’re in West Africa any more, Toto.
