...victims suffered from fevers, blisters on their skin and severe joint pain... (and then they died)

Coming to a neighborhood near you. Soon.

How's that de facto immigration "reform" workin' out for us?

Socialism is the equal distribution of misery.

Maduro demonstrates that he’s dimwitted brutal thug.

If he has any medical doctors left in that country by this time next year we’ll know who has the lowest IQ in the medical population.

[GeronL]

Isn’t it amazing that doctors can be prosecuted and jailed for talking about a threat to the country? They also have strict controls on the media, although most of the media is now state-owned too

Ping...

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...

"Bring up and quarter their dead in the elementary schools
of all our 57 states. Tuberculosis, swine flu, whooping cough,
measles, scabies, chicken pox, Ebola and Enterovirus D68
were just not enough."

Misleading headline. He didn’t call the outbreak of the disease “terrorism,” but used that word to describe the doctors’ warning about it.

That’s socialism for you. The truth is terrorism.

"They wanted to impose a scheme of alarm, of psychological terrorism," Mr. Maduro said Wednesday in a speech broadcast on TV. "There is no other name for this, it's terrorism."

To anybody who's read The Gulag Archipelago, this has a certain ring to it.

President Nicolás Maduro said he ordered the prosecution of doctors who had alerted the public to the recent deaths of nine people in a public hospital from an unidentified but possibly infectious disease. "They wanted to impose a scheme of alarm, of psychological terrorism," Mr. Maduro said Wednesday in a speech broadcast on TV. "There is no other name for this, it's terrorism."

This jerk is trying HARD to outdo his late boyfriend, Chavez. Venezuela needs a Pinochet.There is no other name for this, it

[WP Lonestar]

The headline is misleading, Maduro was not comparing the disease outbreak to terrorism, rather he wanted the doctors who reported the risks to be prosecuted. An authoritarian dictatorship at it’s finest, look to the white house to see the next one..
