If those people get symptoms and die, then I will come back to this thread and say let's take another look at the secondaries like the deputies.
Up to 21 days. The deputy is past the highest probability day (5 or 6).
That doesn't make much sense. The countries over in Africa practice quarantine methods with Ebola. So you can not separate Obama from your soothing fiction about Ebola since he does not believe in the country to country quarantine. You should therefore throw that medical lit you read in the trash can.
Over the next month, thousands of Americans will die of the flu and very few, if any will die of Ebola.
Ping me when there are 100 threads a day filled with fear mongering over the flu.
I'd change the word When to If in your statement but that's how I see it. But, yes, if Sgt. Michael Monning is still alive as we approach the end of this month, I'll not shy away and take my lumps "like a man" ($1 to Mike Gundy). I posted that Governor Sarah Palin would be Our President by now and have had to, regretfully, eat much crow on that.
In addition, it's my hope that you're right and I'm wrong concerning the condition of this fine Texas deputy. The tragedy is that hussein has so poisoned things that we (or at least me) must become skeptics of the highest order when anything is uttered from an agency associated with the central government. It wasn't that way during the era of President Reagan when optimism was the default state.
Please...and I really mean this...ping me in a few weeks. No one will be more joyous to humbly admit my error if Sgt. Monning is doing fine.
All that stress is unnecessary and people are in a panic over something that is not a threat.”
When you look at the big picture - salaries not increasing but all other costs are, jobs being eliminated or hours reduced, effects of Obamacare with even employed people not sure that they will have insurance on January 1 and if they do what the cost will be, family members being deployed to a dangerous and potentially deadly situation, government intruding more and more into everyday lives, open borders in Texas with threat of once unknown disease exposure being brought home by children, Christmas and tax season about to be upon us, and now Ebola threat. At some point in time something is going to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Easy to sit back and say that self-induced stress is unnecessary but it’s just coming to too many people on too many fronts.
I think the difference in reaction to the flu compared to Ebola is that the former has been around for centuries and, as bad as it is, the flu is a known quantity. Furthermore, Ebola was introduced during the hussein regime. His evil and hatred for America (particularly whites) is endless. Therefore, it takes no leap of logic to conclude that the regime has deliberately targeted Texas as ground zero for the first American outbreak of this plague.
Of all the threats to America, from terrorism to gay marriage to the economy to ISIS to the banishment of Christianity from the public square, Ebola is far down the list right below the threat of my family being eaten by a land shark.
“Therefore, it takes no leap of logic to conclude that the regime has deliberately targeted Texas as ground zero for the first American outbreak of this plague.”
If that was his intent, he has failed as a grand total of zero Americans have contracted Ebola in the United States.
Even if hussein isn't able to carry out the mass genocide -- yet, his regime has done inestimable damage to the once vigorous Texas economy. After church last night, knowing that I used to be in real estate here in North Texas (thus my FR name), one of the deacons told me that home values have been collapsing here ever since the word of Duncan first broke. And when the story of Sgt. Manning hit, I noticed that normally full restaurant parking lots (IHOP, Applebees and others) had far fewer cars. People are staying home and not spending. That's the first phase of hussein's plan, seeking to create such a climate of fear and distrust that the Texas economy tanks. I wouldn't put any of this past him.
How many Liberians fly into the US each day?
“...told me that home values have been collapsing here ever since the word of Duncan first broke.”
Please let me know of any great real estate deals in Dallas, Houston or Austin that have resulted from the Great Texas Ebola Outbreak of 2014. I have read that those cities are great real estate markets and in some areas home prices have increased up to 20% per year.
“And when the story of Sgt. Manning hit, I noticed that normally full restaurant parking lots (IHOP, Applebees and others) had far fewer cars.”
Who is Sgt. Manning?
Typical incubation is much shorter than that. 21 days is a 95% confidence interval for an incubation two standard deviations longer than the mean, so 98% of all patients incubate within that time. Almost 70% incubate within a week.
While I can't personally vouch for what my 81-year old deacon friend told me, he's a good Christian man. I tend to put great faith in what he says. He was among those who introduced me to Free Republic in a men's Sunday School class on September 16, 2001 when I asked about the most reliable news source for 9-11. So he does have a background of credibility to me.
And admittedly anecdotal, while out to get the mail this morning, I did notice a new For Sale sign on my street. It wasn't there yesterday. Maybe just coincidence or...maybe not.
Interesting. I thought Gerald Ford was President in 1976.
Old age sets in again. Sorry. It's Sgt. Michael Monning.
“How many Liberians fly into the US each day?”
Not all that many considering Liberia has 4.1 million people and of those 2,210 have Ebola. That’s .00054% of their population and maybe 2% of the population has the cash to hop a plane to America.
No, I asked how many. Skip the slick talk.
The CDC says 150 per day from all the Ebola stricken nations.
There may be more, but from what I have read about Ebola is that it is primarily striking a class of people that could not afford such travel and once someone is symptomatic and thus contagious, it would be obvious to others.
I’m not saying that no more will get in, but that the chances that any one person flying in from Liberia with Ebola is very low.
I do think that people flying in from those regions should be monitored.
However, at this very moment, there are a hundred jumbo jets inbound from China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, India, etc and many of those people have the flu and they will transmit the flu to Americans and some will die.
