World Health Organisation said this week the death toll has surpassed 3,000

They warn number of cases are 'doubling roughly every three weeks'

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), on behalf of 34 NGOs, will warn we have a 'window of opportunity' to halt the 'exponential rise' in cases

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...

Despite this our Dear Leader tells us it is not necessary to stop flights from West Africa to the US.

Seems to me that the chances of more Ebola positive travelers coming to the US would double in the same period.

Well OK, but only if they can do it without imposing a quarantine or impacting Christmas shopping...

Convenient date, don’t you think. Somebody is not letting a crisis go to waste. . .

I sometimes think that to bring us all together, the Lord has given us one common enemy that will require us all to be together for its defeat.

Almost like the old space invader movies.

I've stated this before ...


The Wall Street Czars are now deciding between tow options for the Thanksgiving-Christmas shopping season:

Option-1) Ebola has "only" killed a 100 Americans by Thanksgiving

Option-2) Ebola has "only" killed a 1,000 Americans by Thanksgiving



Either way, retail sales plummet, 10 and 35 percent, respectively.

And that doesn't include that Airplane travel basically is killed worse than after 911


"Everyone" in the United States (regardless of race) will be pointing their "scared-to-death-while-protecting-my-kids" fingers at ....

Obama ...


Come January 2015 ... Obama will "own" ISIS Terrorism and Ebola.

This would pretty funny (politically) .... BUT it's Amerika (my country) that Obama is successfully attempting to DESTROY.

It will be interesting to see what actions are taken once kids around Dallas show up at hospitals with Ebola—and then start dying.
