Ebola is ‘vastly’ worse than anyone first thought...
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 08/15/2014 6:41:44 AM PDT by TigerClaws

The World Health Organisation has warned that the deadly Ebola epidemic in West Africa has been 'vastly' underestimated and extraordinary measures are needed to contain the disease.

The warning comes as the United States ordered the evacuation of diplomats’ families from Sierra Leone, one of the countries at the epicentre of the outbreak.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it.

With any luck it will wipe out most of the Musloid countries because of their 7th century health practices.

Africa spawned AIDS, sick monkeys who bit folks.
Now ebola, from sick animals.

China spawned leprosy and the Black Plague. THAT was from filth. Cleanliness COSTS and countries who won't spend money to keep places CLEAN pay a much larger price in the end.

What's next?
Cancel all plans to travel to those places. It's a start.

Can't find the link so I am going from memory

The numbers thus far and of course subject to change.

Each Ebola victim infects 1.8 people. 60 to 70 percent die
After one year (march 2015) there will be 170,000 infected 110,000 dead
After two years (march 2016) there will be 310,000,000 infected 200,000,000 dead
After three years (march 2017) there will be 6 billion infected and 4 billion dead.

Scary numbers, I seriously doubt the numbers are that bad, but those are the numbers as of now.

Oh one more thing, WHO says it's numbers are probably only 25-50% of the real numbers due to under reporting of Ebola.

Really it depends on how quickly more of Zmapp can be produced by the small biotech company in San Diego.

Apparently the two health care workers in Atlanta are cured. American exceptionalism on display once again.

Exactly. Send us some more of that Dinero vaccine and we’ll make the viral boogeyman go away. Of course, we’ll still draw water from the streams where we dump our feces, and we’ll run through the jungle with grass skirts and stone spears because we’re a bunch of undeveloped savages who are at the whim of every natural vagary to come along, so your treasure will largely be wasted on us, but at least a handful of corrupt power-brokers will make millions.

I’m not a biomedical researcher, or a contagious disease specialist, but the numbers you quote are well known to the WHO, the White House, the Pentagon and other government organizations.

And that brings me to a little connection that many people failed to make. When it was announced that the two American medical missionaries would receive the experimental treatment drug, someone asked Barry if it would be shared with various Africa countries. He hemmed and hawed for a bit, then said said something to the effect that the countries ravaged by Ebola don’t have the ability to properly utilize the drug. That produced a mini-uproar among various African leaders and health officials, and the subject was quickly dropped.

I rather doubt the San Diego firm that developed the treatment drug can produce it in large quantities. The two missionaries were brought back to the states to serve as guinea pigs, to see if it works (and in Dr. Brantley’s case, the results appear promising). The U.S. government plans to buy up the entire output of the San Diego company and reserve the medication for senior government officials and selected family members.

Barry’s little faux pas confirms what everyone knows: with our refusal to quarrantine and impose travel restrictions and take other, essential precautions, the spread of Ebola to the U.S. is inevitable, and “our government” is gearing up for expected outbreaks by protecting the elites.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

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...

The Chinese are all over Africa with projects to exploit the continent’s mineral wealth. The article shows pictures of Chinese doctors working with Ebola victims.

Leaders on both the left and right in the United States are compelled to insert the US into every humanitarian crisis around the globe, spending billions of dollars we don’t have.

China aspires to be a world power. Here’s a novel thought. Let China take on this humanitarian crisis. Let American doctors and tax money stay at home.

When do all of the infected muslems from Africa walk to Mecca and do the Hokey-Pokey around the rock? Hard to walk in circles when your intestines come out of your rear end.

In the late 1970’s, the police in Houston had to clear out a single 3 story house where over 300 Iranians were living.

No electricity, no water, no sewage.

All were students at the University of Houston.

Your numbers may be quite a bit off for certain groups.

Yes, I have thought this for a while now. Also, there are probably many wealthy entertainment and infotainment celebrities who have managed to secure the antidote.

I would be in a panic if I did not have my faith in God.

I drove by the house a few times.

Uck doesn’t begin to describe the smell, and that was driving by.

Illegals will pack 20 to 30 into a single wide trailer.

Let Ebola break out in the illegal communities and it will spread like wildfire.
