(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

The American journalist with Ebola who arrived at a Nebraska hospital today believes that he may have gotten infected when he got splashed while spray-washing a vehicle where someone had died from the disease.

Ashoka Mukpo arrived at the Nebraska Medical Center this morning after being flown directly from Liberia.

“He's strong and his symptoms are not more advanced then when he talked to us before he left which is a relief,” his father Dr. Mitchell Levy said at a news conference today. He said his son has a fever and slight nausea.

"Likely he will go into the next phase where his symptoms will be more severe," Levy said....

I found it tone a general rule that, if somebody becomes infected with a disease that requires the exchange of bodily fluids and claims to having gotten it through happenstance, there is going to be a prostitute somewhere in there.

‘Ashoka Mukpo’

‘...said his father, Dr. Mitchell Levy...’

Huh? Adopted the kid from Liberia?

White Liberal Jewish Guilt, much?

Or is this a Jewish kid who rebelled and converted to something and changed his name? What am I missing, here?

Well, it’s a good thing the guys who were power washing the vomit outside Duncan’s apartment were wearing haz-mat suits. Oh, wait.

If Ebola is so non-contagious, how come an NBC cameraman caught it so quickly while over in West Africa? U.S. is behaving very foolishly!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 4, 2014

This Ebola patient Thomas Duncan, who fraudulently entered the U.S. by signing false papers, is causing havoc. If he lives, prosecute!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 4, 2014

What the hell is Obama doing in allowing all of these potentially very sick people to continue entering the U.S.! Is he stupid or arrogant?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2014

President Obama - close down the flights from Ebola infected areas right now, before it is too late! What the hell is wrong with you?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2014

Maybe this is the crisis Obama is looking for to declare martial law and suspend elections. I have a feeling this won’t be resolved at all. More and more will get infected and die, and he’ll use it to stay in office for life.

And how did a nurse, ensconced behind all the protections of modern medicine, in Spain, catch it?

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...
