If Obama sends boots on the ground to Africa to aid in the fight against ebola, won’t that change the odds dramatically in favor of ebola coming to our shores?

Cringing Negativism Network:" I had thought that had been the case, but it seems to be gaining momentum.
I believe the article is completely, 100% valid."

An article that I read earlier this week indicated inadequate trained staff, facilities, and protective equipment in Nigeria.
They were so swamped and overwhelmed that they had to turn back 30% of the people looking for medical treatment.
As a result, there will be additional contamination not covered in the WHO statistics of known victims ,
and therefore the total number of victims, both known and unknown, will double in two weeks.
And the number will double in another two weeks , etc., etc..

It is a distant side story because the powers have decided not to panic the public.

Personally, I think it is the exact opposite.

Holy cow, man! That thing is very easy to follow and covers a LOT of the stuff I’ve been working out.

On a side note, my first 18 years as a believer I attended Assembly of God church and for the first two years I was a pre-tribulationist until I started studying it. Then I became a believer in, well, what you describe in your spreadsheet.

One thing I find interesting about your dates: The bible teaches that “this generation shall not pass away untill all these things come to pass, and a generation in the bible is fairly commonly described as 70 years. Well, to me the timeline began when Israel became a country in 1948, so I’ve been under the impression that the time around 2018 is where this comes down. It’s a part of why I stand so strongly behind my tagline.

But still reading...

BTW, excellent use of excel features to include detail without cluttering it up. :-)

I like to say that every think I need to know about personal hygene I learned from War of the Worlds. :-P

[Qiviut]

I would say ‘yes’.

Ebola pretty much is a remote disease affecting few people. Previously, the only outbreaks were in remote areas where it was relatively easy to bring under control. This outbreak is different because it got into an urban area.

Ebola is not really very contagious. If it were to become transmissible by the airborne route, however, it would be a disaster. Ebola is spread through physical contact, and is only contagious when symptomatic.

I don’t know much about it, but that pretty much sums up the key reason I have the attitude I do. There is a reason it is spreading where it is and not in Beverly Hills. And there is a reason the percentage of those dying is what it is.

I moved from Seattle to rural central KY. The hospital near where I live is a very, VERY nice facility, appearance wise. It looks very much like the places in the Seattle area. If I get seriously hurt, I go to Louisville, though.

Thanks for the ping!
