US asks IMF to write-off Ebola-hit countries debt

A debt cancellation twice as large was approved by the IMF for Haiti in 2010

The Feds proposed Tuesday that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cancel roughly $100 million in debt owed by Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, which have been hit hardest in the current Ebola outbreak.

Collectively, the three countries owe $372 million to the IMF.

Hey! We’ve got Ebola here now! How ‘bout writing off our debt too?!

Just no

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

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.

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...

Redistributing wealth. No more, no less. Same story different verse.

So, now we get down to one of the reasons for stirring up the Ebola scare in the US.
