I’d say NYC fits the bill.
I just got the heebeegeebeees How will this impact the ball drop in a couple months ?
Well, apparently freezing the little B@$tards doesn’t kill ‘em, it preserves them.....
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’m sure India is allowing as many people from West Africa in to their country as possible, just as we are.
After all, it’s counterproductive to try to restrict travel from countries that are in the midst of an Ebola epidemic, right? That’s what our “leaders” have told us.
Indeed, scores of people fly between Accra, Lagos, Freetown, Monrovia, or Abidjan and New Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, or Chennai on a daily basis, transiting through the Middle East or Europe.
They should be safe then. The CDC says shutting down flights spreads the virus. So just keep all this travel open and they should be ok.
Between the widespread public defecation and the quaint habit of disposing of human corpses in the rivers, what could go wrong?
I’m not all that worried that Ebola will run wild across the USA.
What I worry about is that it will run wild across Central and South America and Mexico... Their fleeing citizens will then run wild across the USA :-(
Obie made a big mistake,,by inviting the “dreamers”.....
it tipped his hand..for the next ..likely Ebola Nightmare..invasion
Some infected, self important ass comes back and goes for a subway and taxi rides after bowling, the day before he`s hospitalized? So much for effective procedures.
and that is the problem. As long as we know who the at risk people are to watch, then we have a hope of containing it. But once it sneaks past the controls and makes it to some unsuspecting street person who rummaged through that NYC garbage can, or the guy at the bowling alley, or on the subway. At that point, tracking after the fact becomes nigh on impossible.
Well my curiosity got the best of me. Just had to click on that. Glad I hadn’t just eaten. Reminds me of a show I rented once called Shocking Asia. Same kinds of stuff. Ick!
“Most epidemiologists do not fear much for the developed world, with its effective quarantine measures and tracking procedures”
Soup, bowling, subways, Uber rides, airplane flights, and weddings exempted, of course.
India, where savages add punch to the turn bowl.
First world or third world, it doesn’t matter:
As soon as prostitutes get it, that is the END.
Think of all the married men who go to prostitutes.
If they get infected, they will bring it home to their wife and kids, who will then pass it on to work/school.
Meanwhile, the cheating husband will NOT fess up until he is vomiting blood (after all, why fess up if there’s a chance he only has the flu).
Oh my. I had heard a lot of this stuff, but had never seen it. Thank God it is not “smellivision.”
But apparently India has the resources and equipment and personnel to send a probe to orbit Mars. Seems like priorities are in need of reordering in India.
