Now that Ebola is officially in the US on an uncontrolled basis, the two questions on everyone's lips are i) who will get sick next and ii) how bad could it get?
We don't know the answer to question #1 just yet, but when it comes to the second one, a press release three weeks ago from Lakeland Industries, a manufacturer and seller of a "comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for the industrial protective clothing market" may provide some insight into just how bad the US State Department thinks it may get. Because when the US government buys 160,000 hazmat suits specifically designed against Ebola, just ahead of the worst Ebola epidemic in history making US landfall, one wonders: what do they know the we don't?

That’s not many suits really. Used suits are properly disposed of and replaced with new ones.

Time to get last minute prepper work done folks. Our government is lying to us....again. Listening to local Dallas news....big takeaway..emergency officials are being instructed to respond to calls “as if Ebola is an ‘airborne disease”..wait... What? Nothing to see here..move along.

They have their special ‘continuity of government’ bug-out places all set up. I think that some of them might even be looking forward to a pandemic to get rid of the riff-raff.

Also could be a good way to make them more careful and vigilant perhaps, but with this government in charge..who knows anymore? Report did not mention who exactly instructed them to take this emergency approach either but directive went out to fire department,hospitals and police. I am recording all local news shows at 5:00 and again at 10:00 to compare and contrast what media is reporting.

Once you go in, you never come back out—the suit IS the bag.

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...
