One of the primary functions of this mission is logistics for medical staff, equipment, and supplies.


If the numbers I’ve seen are accurate, this action is the equivalent of emptying the Great Lakes with a spoon.

Just how does one ‘fight’ a virus with military personnel?

Well, you could shoot anyone attempting to escape from a quarantined area. Then cook them up with a flame thrower.

We have false Messiahs, seemingly unending war, pestilence running towards our doorstep, and approaching economic disaster that may inflate food prices to the point of famine.

We were warned in a musty old book - a book that many who are driving us towards the precipice say is full of “fairy tales” - that this would come to pass.

For once I am in agreement with Obama....

This outbreak is nothing like the previous ones going back as far as possible...

This outbreak has the potential to become a pandemic...the likes we have never seen...

We are one person away from it coming to the US....via a plane ride...

Better to help contain it now in Africa than risk the unthinkable...

I’m assuming they’re all from the Chemical Corps or Medical Corps. (Chem Corps actually handles Nuclear, Biological, Chemical warfare safety). Anybody who has ever been fully suited up knows that a human can’t live that way 24/7.

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…

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...
