About as inevitable as the incurable respiratory disease and paralysis outbreak via the Obama orchestrated illegal alien kiddie invasion.

We’re told it’s passed through body fluids only. Yet every caretaker is wearing masks and goggles. Either they’re not 100% sure or they’re lying.

Inevitable, no. Purposeful, yes.

Nothing like this comes out of nowhere.

It can be an unintended consequence but the scenario (immigration from infected country leads to infected here in the US) has WITHOUT QUESTION been thought about and debated. In the end, the “we should restrict travel from infected countries” argument lost out to “It’ll look bad if we restrict travel from poor nations” argument.

If the debate took an hour, I’d bet maybe 2 minutes of that hour were spent discussing potential impact on the US populace. They couldn’t possibly care less about US except that they need our vote to remain in power.

When BO decided to allow flights from hot-zone countries to come to the U.S. it was going to happen. CDC scientists were ignored for their common sense request to stop those flights. This is to be expected when criminals hold power in the WH. Once again, electing any man with Hussein in his name has turned into a bad idea. go figure.

BO made the call to allow flights from hot-zone countries intentionally. He is the maggot responsible.

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

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...

Ebola is inevitable only if you are so weak-willed that you are unwilling to enforce a quarantine.

Millions dead in West Africa today, or billions dead around the world tomorrow?

“Leaders” are too weak to do the right thing, and quarantine the several originating countries.

Ebola’s arrival in U.S. was inevitable, experts say,

If the "inevitable" event is a bad thing, then you do whatever you can to avoid it, so that it does not happen often.

Those "experts" are teaching futility and fatalism, which as the word implies, can be fatal. They can stick it.

But many predicted that the Ebola virus would reach another country before the U.S. Using mathematical models to predict how infectious diseases spread, experts at Northeastern University ranked the top 15 countries where Ebola could emerge next

And all it took was one dumb Liberian to screw up their precious models. Take note, global warmers.

So did this guy land in the U.S. the same EXACT day the new 2014 corner stone was mysteriously added to the Georgia Guide Stones?

FOIL ON!

Fifty years ago, this administration would most likely been impeached for incompetence, malfeasance and treason and everyone would have gone to prison after trial. Heck, back then, he would not have been elected. Obongo isn't fit to be a shoeshine boy at the local barber shop in Moab, Utah, let alone POTUS. Biden ain't fit to be the local hat and coat check girl at a country club. Let me add, the enemy has been elected by the uninformed sheeple who are on the government take. Khruschev was right if this goes on, he is burying us as he laughs from the grave.

If I was POTUS, I'd stop all flights and ships to Africa and would institute a blockade. In case if anybody from the area comes to America, I'd have a detention facility at Shark Island just off the Florida Keys and the personnel there would wear condition 4 MOPP suits.

Of course it was inevitable given Prez Obola’s open borders policy.

“The key for me is that they shouldn’t be taking unnecessary risks. If we are going to take risks make sure they are away from huge population centers. Make sure that anyone traveling from West Africa understands that they are going to be quarantined till they pass a blood test.”

Yes, I agree with that.

POSTED THIS ON ANOTHER THREAD ... IT IS VITAL America USES what will work and be effective!!!

from another thread ... it is important to consider what WILL WORK AND BE EFFECTIVE. mo
“There is a effective spray that will work.

“DDT” is effective, it has saved many lives. True it was used indiscriminately and in incorrect ways ... It is also true many other insect treatments are used incorrectly.

HOWEVER” DDT” worked and saved many peoples lives. Many thousands/millions of people have died of malaria that came with the removal of “DDT” from use, as a result of the Book “Silent Spring”. There is a time and place for proper “DDT use. This is it!!! MOO”

Biden will spin the deaths as more ‘shovel ready jobs’. And “ ‘jobs’ is a 3 letter word” .

If you like your CDC bullcrap, you can keep it.

The numbers of Middle Easterners and North Africans stopping in convenience stores in tourist and ranch areas on the Rockies have been increasing greatly over the past few years.
