Ebola: Civilians Barred from Military Hospitals, Lagos Hospitals Reject Patients (Nigeria)

Scared stiff of the Ebola virus especially in some Lagos hospitals, the military has secretly ordered its health care workers to stop attending to civilians at its hospitals across the country.

In most military hospitals in Nigeria, civilians account for less than 80 per cent of the patients that are attended to on a daily basis, meaning that the order will be depriving a sizeable number of Nigerians from accessing medical care from the military hospitals.

A source close to the military told THISDAY that the instruction was handed down in a memo to all Nigerian Air Force hospitals in the country last Friday in memo titled, “Order to Unit Order”.

According to the source, “Such a memo can only be from above and it clearly stated that henceforth all NAF hospitals are to stop attending to civilians seeking medical care at our hospitals”.

THISDAY gathered that the NAF hospital along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway has begun the implementation of the order by turning back civilians at its gate.

An outpatient at the hospital said: “I got there on Monday and to my surprise, I was not allowed beyond the gate. I learnt that there was an Ebola scare in the hospital and the military does not want such a development in their environment.”

The source added: “I saw people picking cards when I got there, but they were all turned back. It’s sad that the military authorities are doing this to us.”

Nigerian site. Trustworthy? who knows.

The muddled masses? Always expendable.

All the guns and military hardware has been purchased (here and abroad) to protect the "best people". The precious resources will be allocated to the government personnel who deserve them. You?? You peasant! There is nothing for you here!

Kinda reminds me of the movie “Masque of the Red Death” w/Vincent Price.

Trustworthy as compared to what? MSNBC? CNN? CBSABCNBCPBSNPR(andyeseven)Fox?

geez. How many exposed if he had it? Medical people exposed while he struggles.

Makes sense actually.

A healthy military will be needed to restore order after the disease wreaks its havoc.

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...

One of the more unusual zombie flicks. It actually made it worth watching just because it wasn't typical.

I’ll have to check it out. I’ve watched a few zombie flics in my time.

“Outpost”: a small group of mercenary soldiers, led by Ray Stevenson discover a secret Nazi bunker 60 years after the war.
It was used to perform experiments on SS soldiers and involves bringing them back from the dead, giving them the power to travel instantly through time and space, but I’m gushing ...
Nazi zombies, science fiction, gore/horror, plenty of automatic weapons fire and lots of explosions.
What’s not to like?
