“Ebloa, just a JV pandemic.”

And they say Ebola is also dangerous. :-)

Look at the bottom of the list of potential disasters on the bottom right corner of the page.

I wonder how recently that page was thrown together. I did not hear about it until after the ebola clinic was broke into and all the soiled bedsheets stolen. Eleven airplanes stolen.
No good. No good at all.

Did you know that muslims believe the only way to go to heaven is to spill the blood of an infidel?

They should just leave disaster preparedness to the private sector (Wise Foods, etc.).

My grand daughter has had several respiratory illnesses and nausea etc. this summer. Usually, in the past, I haven't caught her colds or flu.

However, this summer I caught them all, and it took me longer to kick it. My doctor told me that there had been a lot of very strange and especially bad stuff going on in July and August.

My great grandson is sick right now and has to take breathing treatment, but he hasn't had to be hospitalized yet thank goodness.

Missouri was on the map as one of the states that has been having the outbreaks.

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...

Yep, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

If there aren’t enough crisis’ to take advantage of for political commie purposes, the current administration will continue to create them.

Gotta go with Billy Ayers’ plan for lessening the population by 25 million. It’s in the works.

Obama and his cronies, ISIS lite.

“medications, 200,000 respirators and 4,184 bottles of hand sanitizers”...those items expire?

Uhmmm K...news to me.

The department bought 16 million surgical masks and 350,000 white coverall suits without establishing the need for them....

And, so???

Are they suppose to wait until some absolute number of a census determining how many are ill, might become ill or are carriers?

I have no problem with this.

Heck, in my house I got masks for years of daily changes, soaps for a good 5 + years, meds and blah, blah , blah for years...

Had a friend who was homeless recently.

Handed him bathroom soaps, shampoos, conditioner, shave cream, after shave, razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc enough to last a good year.

He asked if these were my 2nd hand. I snapped and told him if he didn’t like Neutrogena and Crest toothpaste give em back.

They cost way more then other brands and that’s what I buy.

Asked him if he would be happy with Bulgari soaps, which cost 5 ×’s more.

Unbelievably he said “No, I guess I should be grateful for what you gave me”.

He guesses....stoopit fk.
