FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) -- The number of people infected with Ebola in western Sierra Leone, on the other side of the country from where the first cases emerged months ago, is soaring with more than 20 deaths daily, the government and local media reported Tuesday.

Just saying.

America really, really needs to control immigration from countries with growing episodes of the very dangerous disease, until we come up with a vaccine.

And then it’s back to normal letting in every Eduardo, Ling, and Muhammed that comes along.

In HOT ZONE, it was explained that as the virus becomes more deadly when it becomes less deadly. The paradox is because it no longer kills the host quickly, before they can spread it to others. The constant threat mentioned is Ebola getting on a plane and spreading globally and quickly.

And Obama's saying "Bring It On"! He really should read the book.

Don't be silly. Keeping people with Ebola out is guaranteed to spread it in our country. Our best bet is to fast track visas for people in Ebola-plagued countries, bring infected Africans here for treatment while leaving infected American soldiers there, and keep the southern border open so even those without a visa can still enter easily. Obama said so. The media echoed his pronouncement. It must be true.

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...

Americans have no say, whatsoever.

The ruling class, the EXEMPT, are not even
on commercial flights. They own stock already
in every potential vaccine company, and DO NOT CARE.

Until the EXEMPT are sent to the HOT ZONES and
forced to take commercial flights with everyone else,
they will ignore this.

We need to shut the front door. We need to isolate these people from the USA.

But, we also have to make sure none of these embers land in Europe, India, or China.

If the virus gets into those countries, we won’t be able to control it.

... and these are the deaths that have been "officially" tested and confirmed as Ebola.

The actual numbers are probably many times higher than this.

Islam is the largest religion in Sierra Leone, with significant Christian and animist minorities. According to a 2009 estimate, 71.3% of the population is Muslim, 26.8% is Christian and 1.9% of the population is either animist or follows other religious beliefs.
Look up Ghusl. This will explain why it grows like wildfire in a place like Sierra Leone and not as quickly in other places. They will not give up their traditional religious practices. If a quick-spread scenario occurs in the USA, it will be from a Muslim community.
