SAD. That was from the Islam IMAM, who came to Mali infected from Guinia and died before he was diagnosed with Ebola....and those who washed his body and attended the funeral was under quarantine a few days ago....550-600 people had been exposed to him prior and after his death.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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.
