US News & World Report ^

Posted on 10/15/2014 6:18:06 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Subtitle: Researchers predict more cases in the United States based on flight patterns.

The last week has brought some unfortunate firsts for the United States.

A patient from Liberia became the first person to die of Ebola in the U.S. and a nurse treating him became the first person infected with the virus on U.S. soil.

“MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” for Obama. Now he needs the military and their families to get infected.

Airlines don’t need to wait on this failed administration to take the lead. They just need to step up and say “we are no longer flying to and from West Africa for the foreseeable future”...

But I think the airlines are more motivated by profits, so unlikely to do this on their own. The only way they might be inclined to shut down, would be if they think they are going to start losing lawsuits from passengers/families of victims, to indicate that they are liable for spreading the disease.

But they are probably holding out for an offer from 0bama for a bunch of money, before they would consider suspending flights.

From WHO
Incubation period

The period of 42 days, with active case-finding in place, is twice the maximum incubation period for Ebola virus disease and is considered by WHO as sufficient to generate confidence in a declaration that an Ebola outbreak has ended.

Recent studies conducted in West Africa have demonstrated that 95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval. WHO is therefore confident that detection of no new cases, with active surveillance in place, throughout this 42-day period means that an Ebola outbreak is indeed over

Remember how anxious the Left was for normal America to be infected with AIDs? Their thinking was 'then we'll get serious about a cure'.

Thats why this administration is handling Ebola in the warped manner they are - Americans don't care about third world suffering unless it affects them directly.

That is why we and our families are being exposed to this nightmare.

Maybe one of the "Gay Caballeros", or illegal aliens Hussein forced the military to take, will pay him a visit and give him a big old wet kiss right on his big fat purple lips!

Exactly. Make Americans suffer and use the crisis to do what they want.

To Marxists a few thousand or million human lives means nothing.

There’s also a report Ebola is in semen for 80 days following recovery from an infection.

Again, allowing travel from the hot zone countries to the U.S. is insanity.

A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.

Now for a fun exercise compare Watergate or Iran Contra with what this administration is doing here.

It boggles my mind. Too bad there is no effective force to counter them.

Obama the Undocumented Tyrant is the FIRST pRes_ _ent
to attack the American people with bioWMD,
including BOTH EV-D68 (killing children in several
of the 42+ now infected states) and Eboli.

Where was the US Congress?

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...
