Seventy percent mortality WITH treatment. Ninety percent without. Medical system overwhelmed. If (or maybe WHEN) this happens in America how many ebola infected people will be sitting in emergency rooms and doctors offices and infecting others?

Be careful out there....

It would be the same in the US when one of obola’s extra special infected patients or recent African arrivals exposes others.

I tend to say that enough Americans will isolate themselves to prevent the spread.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

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...

I read this earlier (thanks for posting to FR) and while the words are there on the screen, I can’t truly imagine the horror of what conditions must be like .... totally helpless, so sick, or watching your loved ones die and get hauled off ... or even left for hours, even days, where they fall or have been moved out of houses. I am praying for these people.

I don’t think veterinarians will fare too well either. Ebola can get into companion animals, some carry the virus asymptomatically and some are symptomatic.

Have read Liberia has a population of 4 million, yet less than 300 doctors now practice there.

It could do wonders for the economy and established order, not to mention the potential enhancements for the minds of those in business, academic and political leadership.

Just leaving the infected alone probably guarantees it will keep spreading

From the article:

"Around the corner and down a block or two, another small crowd had grown angry at the delay in retrieving a man’s body that lay under a tree outside some homes. Residents said that it had been there since Friday and that Redemption officials had failed to respond to repeated calls to come get it. Ebola, a hemorrhagic disease, is at its most lethal in the body fluids that leak from corp­ses.

“They have not come to spray” disinfectant in the area around the corpse, Powell Johns, a preacher, said angrily. “That’s wrong. They’ve got to do their jobs.”

The group led some American and French journalists to the body.

AND YET SOME WONDER, how ebola will get 'into' the US.
