Sixty Days To Beat Ebola, United Nations Warns
Sky News ^ | 10-14-2014 | Sky News

The UN says the ebola outbreak must be controlled within 60 days or else the world faces an "unprecedented" situation for which there is no plan.

The United Nations made the stark warning as it warned that the disease "is running faster than us and it is winning the race".

Nearly 9,000 cases of ebola have been reported so far in West Africa, including 4,447 deaths.

"The WHO advises within 60 days we must ensure 70% of infected people are in a care facility and 70% of burials are done without causing further infection," said Anthony Banbury, the UN's deputy ebola coordinator.

"We need to do that within 60 days from 1 October. If we reach these targets then we can turn this epidemic around."

But Mr Banbury told the UN Security Council the 70% target was becoming harder to meet as new infections stack up.

He urged: "We either stop ebola now or we face an entirely unprecedented situation for which we do not have a plan."

Is it OK to be concerned, yet? Or should we have complete faith in Obama and the Minions to do what is required to save America??

The Korean war was probably the last thing that the United Nations got even half right and that ended in a cease fire in 1953.

Agenda 21 IS the plan.

Hmmm. Sounds like what they’ve been saying about “climate change”. Though, they might be right this time. After all, even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.

If folks would stop moving around internationally from affected places, this stuff could be arrested.

I don’t think the collectivists want that.

Pretty soon we'll have Borders Without Doctors.

Shut down air transport outside of military operations to and from the continent of Africa, and any nation offering connections. Send Bloomberg's CDC soda pop nazi over there with his "Ebola Response Teams" and get it fixed at the "Index Patient" source.

I hate to say this, but Social Utopian whackos would love nothing more than a 50% reduction of world population. Give the earth time to heal and all.....................Oceans to renew, air to cleanse itself, and the climate to change? Oh wait.......scratch that last one. We don’t want climate change.

From News Australia:

If projections from the world’s top scientists are anything to go by, it could get much worse before it gets better. Here are the terrifying Ebola visuals you need to see.

“I hate to say this, but Social Utopian whackos would love nothing more than a 50% reduction of world population.”

And John Holdren, Obama’s “Science advisor”, just happens to be a RADICAL POPULATION CONTROL ADVOCATE, who in the past has called for forced sterilization and forced abortion to drop the world’s population to 500 Million, in order to “Save The Earth”.

Why is it so hard for Africans to just stay put for a couple months and lay off the close body contact for a while?

This thing will burn out when they stop giving it bodies to eat.
