Thursday at the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health hearing titled, “Combating the Ebola Threat,” the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden said "We are all connected and inevitably there will be travelers, American citizens" who will travel in the infected African countries and come "here with symptoms."

He added, "It is certainly possible that we could have ill people in the US who develop Ebola after having been exposed elsewhere."

I understand from previous threads that FEMA is preparing for 200 million deaths in the lower 48. I used to think that was an exaggeration, even if it was true. Now I’m not so sure.

It could even be done intentionally, as an act of biological terrorism.

No attempt at CONTROL.

This is the Center of Disease Communication.

The left has always embraced the concept of “orchestrated crisis”. Totalitarian control is what they want, from global warming, war on women, amnesty for illegal immigrants...the goal is to take money from the producers, keep most of the money for the controllers and give just enough to the have nots to get their votes. Expanding the have nots is a democRAT strategy to enslave those who work in the USA..

Transcript: Retired Border Patrol Officer Zach Taylor explains surge of illegals on U.S. border

The problem as I see it - and apparently because Centers for Disease Control, Health and Human Services, and Department of Homeland Security are trying to make this a controlled situation - they're anticipating a large national crisis. When you see that FEMA is preparing for 200,000,000 deaths in the United States, that tells you something.

“It is certainly possible that we could have ill people in the US who develop Ebola after having been exposed elsewhere.”

Having it and spreading it are two very different things. The host doesn’t tend to live very long in the contagious stage. This isn’t the flu

I predict major blowback against the etatists who need a crisiss, but the crisis may be their own.

“STOP ALL WEST AFRICAN FLIGHTS NOW!!!”

That is a good idea even without ebola

The host doesn’t tend to live very long in the contagious stage.

A person can come into contact with a bunch of other individual in 4-5 days, even in 4-5 hours. And the remains are infectious -- a major factor in Africa.

I predicted it. Another grossly incompetent Progressive fool that will say “sorry about that” and then continue on his merry way.

It will not be so much the disease, but the ensuing chaos (panic, looting, rioting, etc) that will enable its spread and further loss of life on a scale not seen since 1918.

This modern era of entitlement and lack of basic survival skills/knowledge will only add to the massive population decline.

This is the very reason why Obama wanted to bring people with Ebola into this country — to spread it, preferably among those he hates (which is just about everyone.)

Yeah, I remember when the smartest guys circa 1990 predicted that Iraq’s oil fields, if set on fire, would burn for fifty years.

Nope. Didn’t happen like that.

Just because someone is ‘knowledgeable’ doesn’t automatically equate with accurate. I suspect there will be no natural pandemic, as there is no animal reservoir for the virus here in the U.S., and people do not go out much in freezing weather.
