NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Health officials battling the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa have managed to limit its spread on the continent to five countries - and two of them appear to have snuffed out the disease.

The developments constitute a modest success in an otherwise bleak situation.

Officials credit tighter border controls, good patient-tracking and other medical practices, and just plain luck with keeping Ebola confined mostly to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea since the outbreak was first identified nearly seven months ago.

So even the AP admits that the number 1 way to stop ebola from spreading is border controls. (Yet we are told by Obama and his idiot minions that we can't do this.)

>Caller from Kenya CDC> Hello.....Hello...is anybody on the line?

White house switch board> How may I direct your call?

Kenya CDC> Please connect me with President Obama

White house switch board> Please leave a message and he will get it when he returns from his golf match.

Kenya CDC>........never mind.... I'm sure he will read it in the newspaper.

Yet we are told by Obama and his idiot minions that we can't do this.)

To do so would fly in the face of Obola's 'Blame America First" policy and his belief that open borders and free access to the bounty that is America is necessary retribution for all our past national sins as he describes them. That is how he was raised. That is at his core belief. It cannot be changed except maybe by a lobotomy.

so border control does works, who would have thought.

Add Nigeria for an aggressive program of contact tracing. Some African nationation are taking the right actions yet this Administration can not find the spine lest it might offend one of the perpetually offended.

Imagine if Obama or frieden were making the decisions for these countries. they would be infested with Ebola right no instead of almost ebola free.

These guys aren’t even as competent as a bunch of 3rd world despots.

If we studied that enough, we might learn something useful.

So these Africans are smarter than our president?

Maybe we should elect an African as our president?

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...

Rush mention bump

Liberals say Controlling our border with respect to ebola won’t work. But it works in Africa. So as usual they’re completely wrong and stupid, and this is the proof.
