"I'm president Brak Ubama, and I approve of this virus!"
I hope he/she introduces iBola as the latest smartphone app for tracking Ebola!
He believes “check lists” will save America.
Just like the last time?
He says controlling outbreak requires controlling
Africa and there “we need regular travel”.
Cutoff “will be damaging to those countries”.
He purports no help will come to Africa
unless there is commercial traffic
(to bring diseases to all American cities).
He says
“Can’t spread Ebola unless you have symptoms”.
He deliberately ignores that the dead spread,
sex spreads, and that there is latency in other primates,
and there could be subclinical spread,
latent persistent disease, and the possibility
of other carriers.
He closes “end of Press availability”.
I love how they pick the time when perhaps 100 million Americans are engrossed with football to schedule this.
Guy was lying his ass off.
They are doubling down on their positions of not restricting air travel and having haphazard quarantines of close contact exposures. They oppose reasonable concerns for no other reason than that their critics hold these concerns.
CDC = Center for Denial and Concealment
Control immigration. Restrict immigration from Ebola-affected regions.
Right now.
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...
I guess part of what the corruption package from power includes stupidity at a discount price.
Waste of time.
This CDC guy is beyond creepy, his voice and affect is like a programmed robot. weird
"Limited" does not mean zero.
I believe the intent is o bring Ebola back to the United States. The Sultan can't relay on the chance that other ebola infectees will make it to the US in airplanes undetected and unsequestered before they plant it in the population. A few hundred infected troops should easily overwhelm the system back here and it will go wild.
We have the most expensive, corrupt inefficient Federal Government Bureaucracy in American History.
Obama and his minions make “The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight” look like world class marksmen.
It has gone from being amusing to depressing to Frighteningly dangerous.
But president Obola is now in a serious and deadly dilemma. If he “closes the borders” due to his namesake disease, how will it look when he opens his arms to millions of open border illegals and grants amnesty.
Closing the borders for any reason now will to some extent reflect on his open borders policy. He cannot protect American Sovereignty. It is not in his DNA....especially where dark skinned turd world people are involved.
Ultimately we are being force fed a Federal Government that is built on Pure political patronage appointments (affirmative Hiring) at all the critical levels of management and oversight along with an overdose of Rigid Progressive Politically Correct ideology.
As with all Progressive Utopian run states...the actual observed results of their over-lordship is not relevant. This is the principle known as “You have to break some eggs to make an omelet.”
So if you loose your Health Insurance due to ObamaCare, or loose your job to an illegal, or if you loose your business to the Gay Mafia, or you loose your head to your local non profiled Muslim jihadist, or if you loose your life or family to Ebola...just know that according to the RIGID PROGRESSIVE IDEALOGUES that control America...it is all in service of the GREATER GOOD. Sorry you and I won't be around to enjoy it.
HIV and EBOLA: How Political Correctness Will Get You Killed!
The ongoing – and expanding –Ebola situation and how it’s being handled (or, more accurately, NOT being handled) has a parallel with the HIV panic of a number of years ago.
It may ALSO be another manifestation of the schizophrenic nature of the hard leftists who unfortunately sit at the levers of power in this country and whose double-mindedness should now be clear to all but the dullest among us.
Allow me to explain.
A San Francisco (where else?) based and HIV infected “leader”of the homosexual community began a serious campaign encouraging fellow HIV carriers to attempt to bypass or defeat the donor screening process and actively donate into the national blood supply. When pressed as to his justification for jeopardizing the entire nation, he declared that if HIV spread out into the “straight” community, it would almost certainly catalyze and accelerate the search for a vaccine.
Am I the only “conspiracy buff” to see the similarities between that and what’s going on today vis-a-vis Ebola?
I hadn’t thought about this angle until I heard Rush recently ranting about some author who’d written that because Liberia was founded by former slaves who returned to Africa, it was our unfortunate institution of slavery that is directly responsible for Ebola in the western nations of Africa. (Please note that I stop FAR short of the recent utterances of Calypso Louie Farrakan who claims that Ebola was created by evil white men to kill blacks!)
But I digress. That reasoning that America is responsible for Ebola – if it can be called “reasoning” – holds that it is America’s place to come to their rescue with a “cure”. And how better to “catalyze and accelerate” that process than to INFECT as many native born Americans HERE with the disease as possible?
Now here’s where the schizophrenia comes into the picture:
There is a growing group of folks who believe that the earth cannot support the current population approaching 7.3 billion. The bulk of them are in the same leftist camp as those now directing the present halfhearted “effort” against Ebola. Many of them are one and the SAME people directing the Ebola thing! The most radical of them embrace the words of a speaker at an early green movement/save-the-earth rally in California. Odd coincidence that, aye? He declared that “Man is the ultimate DISEASE of nature.” He got a standing O for that line!
From that meeting and others still being conducted, the greenies now believe that the 7.3 billion MUST be reduced to around 1 billion or less. And which members of which nations, ethnic groups or races are “eliminated” is irrelevant – so long as THEY are excluded!
Scriptures informs us that “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” The writer must have known a fair number of the leftists of his day.
Back to my question.
If, on one hand, the leftists are sincere in their effort to SAVE THE EARTH from overpopulation, why would they attempt to save the victims of Ebola and allow them to come here?
Could it be that allowing them to come here with the disease (and sending 3,000 potential military carriers THERE to bring it back with them) while portraying these actions to the noinfo masses as the compassionate thing to do is part of the same scheme attempted earlier by the HIV crowd?
I suggest that we prepare ourselves for the spread of the this 60% to 90% fatal disease among the population of this nation. (This may have been the reason for the Homeland Security “drills” about some “zombie apocalypse”.) This IS, after all, the same America that is hated by Obama and the One World leftists now in control here as the source of every evil committed in the rest of the world and for which evils it must be properly punished?
Do I really think these miscreants – living in their sanitized and safe gated “compounds” — would do that?
After witnessing 6 years of this gang’s criminal behavior, I absolutely think that!
OK, Ebola is bad enough, but Congo now has the closely related active cases of Marburg Virus. Marburg only needs 2 viroid 800nm particles to infect. When will the quarantine and travel ban go into effect?
This creep is just itching for the power a pandemic would bring. You can see it in the smirk on his face.
