In Liberia, Home Deaths Spread Circle of Ebola Contagion
New York Times ^ | SEPT. 24, 2014 | NORIMITSU ONISHI

The family of the sick man, who had endured Ebola’s telltale symptoms for six days, took him by taxi to treatment centers here in the capital twice, only to be turned back at the gate each time for lack of beds. He died at home, his arms thrashing violently and blood spewing out his mouth, in front of his sons.

“We had to carry him home two times because they could do nothing for us,” said Eric Gweah, 25, as a team of body collectors came to retrieve the corpse of his father, Ofori Gweah, 62. “The only thing the government can do is come for bodies. They are killing us.”

So many Ebola victims are dying at home because of the severe shortage of treatment centers here in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, that they are infecting family members, neighbors and others in a ballooning circle of contagion.

Wouldn’t it be funny if all of pResident Obola’s border-assault “children” died of Ebola, and took a bunch of current Democrat voters with them?

But all cultures are equivalent, right NYT?

Let's not be judgmental.

We wouldn't want to impose our values. That would be imperialism, wouldn't it?

What does lack of beds have to do with it?

It would be funny if they weren’t currently attending public schools all over America right now. Welcome tho the New World Order’s “2014” agenda. This Ebola outbreak wasn’t an accident or an “act of nature”. It was done on purpose. Whatever you do, DO NOT take the vaccine. There is no such thing as a vaccine against viruses. Look it up.

The way they get you there is to claim that your refusal to take the vaccine endangers other people, therefore they have the right to kill you.

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...

So the flu shots that you can get at every drug store, Target, WalMart, etc., are fake?

At the Atlanta hospital where they brought the American infected they were taking out 30 barrels a day of infectious waste per patient. The medical hazmat carrier refused to accept it because it was against DOT regulations. The government smoothed it out by bringing in large autoclaves from the federal NIH facility nearby, Do you think your local hospital will comply?

You missed your "/sarc" tag, right? You're not actually stating that seriously, are you?

Because if you are, YOU are the one who needs to "look it up". Please tell me you were being ironic or something. :)

There are numerous viral vaccines besides the modern flu shots. I'm not knocking the flu shots, per se, but additional examples include:

But Jonas Salk was a brilliant, innovative scientist and an altruistic Clear Spirit. They don’t make scientists like that anymore. Nowadays they’re all killer nerd technocrats with creepy “save the planet from humans” agendas.
