MONROVIA, Liberia — Some people are swimming in and out of the Ebola quarantine zone in this seaside capital. One man slips out every day to reach his job at a Western embassy. Another has turned his living room into a tollbooth, charging others to escape through his apartment at the edge of the cordoned area. Countless others have used a different method: bribing their way out with fees that soldiers determine according to a person’s appearance, circumstances and even gender.
Christian Verre, a 26-year-old clothing salesman, sneaked out through an abandoned building with his girlfriend, Alice Washington, 21, and eight friends. “Go back! Go back!” soldiers and police officers yelled, he recalled, but the conversation quickly took on a different turn: “What do you got?”

Uh-Oh.
FYI
Well, according to the UN and other NWO agencies you have nothing to worry about. Their predictions are that the disease will run its course in 6 months or so. Just guessing, but large swaths of Africa will be decimated and the EU countries should be able to step in and seize all natural resources.
This article stated that the West Point quarantine is supposed to be lifted in 21 days. Huh? Do they really think all will be well after that time frame. If anything, the disease will have been even more widespread.
China has dibs on all African resources.
Note to self: cancel walking tour of Liberia.
Preppers’ PING!!
Thanks for posting. Interesting article and comments at the source.
Yep, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if Patient A is infected on Day 1, then when he infects patient B on Day seven of his(A’s) illness, and then Patient B develops symptoms on Day 12 of his own exposure and infects Patient C who develops symptoms on Day 7 of his own exposure that it will just keep on like a chain of dominoes in so many different directions. Danger for many, many more days than just twenty one.
Why are those in power not smart enough to extrapolate this? Or are they, and maybe they want to toss the hoi polloi a bone just to make it look like they are making some effort to contain the spread of the disease.
Mrs. AV
I heard on the radio that the CDC is expecting 20K US cases.
They are smart enough IMO. They either don’t care or aren’t willing to expend any political capital to do anything.
Watch China. China would love Africa’s natural resources.
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...
What I read on a news crawler was that the African disease rate was estimated to possibly go to 20K. I would want to see a corroborative and credible source before I believed what you heard on the radio.
Just sayin’......
This may be what you were hearing about.
