The CDC dropped the ball (along with the local authorities). Younger Jallah had to quarantine herself and her family. The only message she got was from her employer saying that she should not go to work (both her and her husband work in nursing homes).

The CDC is supposed to track every contact, every contact of that contact, etc. It appears that they did not bother even one level deep.

The Obama administration thinks they are above the law, even quarantine laws. Enterovirus D68 often found in Central America and Ebola were of little concern when bringing in new low-info voters. So if I start to feel sick the first thing I’m doing is visiting my local Obama voters hangout, cough and sneeze in my hands before I go in then handle everything there. If someone lives near Washington DC and congress is in session go visit your favorite amnesty politicians office and check out their doorhandles, railings, chairs etc.

If a right and just government were doing enough, it wouldn’nt be here. America doesn’t have a right and just government anymore.

Of course they think they are above the law. After all that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave thinks he’s Emperor of the United States

There was a report last year that the flu shot seemed to be only 9% effective in those over 65 yrs.

Why that is, I do not know. Maybe our immune systems work differently, and do not react the way they should.

Might be worth doing some research on it before making your decision. I have decided not to get one. The additives in the flu shot can’t be good for the aging brain.

The administration does the wrong thing 100% of the time.
Any reasonable person figured it out a long time ago -- Obama is at war with this country and is doing all the damage he can.

Given that, asking the administration to do "more" is a bad thing.

States with international airports should take steps to ban flights from Africa. Screw the FAA.

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

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...

Unless and until the left can put a political spin on the Ebola outbreak, it will be a low priority. Lives don’t matter-only politics matter. Thus spake Karl Marx.

The White house may be receiving envelopes, not with white powder...but with a big luegy hocked inside instead. ISIS will send them first class.

“Obola’s administration takes it seriously.”

The ‘elite’ Uniparty takes it seriously, they themselves, being exempt and guaranteed to be on the short list for what will be a ‘limited’ supply of ZMapp. I suppose they justify it in their excrement filled heads that they’ll be solving a whole host of the worlds problems, and in the aftermath, be given the opportunity to rebuild in an ‘enlightened’ manner. They are clearly disciples of the fallen angels and their leader.

“The administration does the wrong thing 100% of the time.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I have seen the presidency compared to a multiple choice exam, I agree with that, a president is presented with choices and he picks the one that he thinks will be most likely to result in the desired outcome. I wrote on FR that NO ONE can take a 100 question multiple choice exam on a subject about which he knows nothing and make a zero and amazingly someone said I was crazy. I think it is obvious that if there are four choices you could expect to score about 25% by simply marking off choices at random. Anyone who can score a zero is capable of scoring 100% and is scoring zero by intention. I don’t know how anyone could argue against that.

That is why I say you are absolutely right. Let someone please name a question of importance on which Obama has come up with the correct answer, I can’t think of a single one. I don’t mean to imply that he is brilliant, far from it, I believe he is being controlled by people who ARE brilliant, brilliantly evil.

First they allowed illegals to come pouring in with diseases and distributed them in cities in every state.

The diseases the illegals brought in for the most part aren’t deadly but it created “heightened public awareness” of deadly diseases being brought into the country unchecked.

Now they are allowing Ebola in which is deadly.

It’s a systematic progression intended to create panic, manly in the cities, forcing people to flee the cities.

You get millions fleeing the cities and it will overwhelm the system in a little no time, Cloward-Piven.

Then by all means go and get a flu shot so you can have it again.

Zero.

How many are there so far, though?

We suffer almost 40,000 highway deaths every year. People die in hunting accidents, falling in their bath tubs, building large buildings, etc. Everything involves risk. So the question is, how many deaths from a particular cause should be tolerated before we significantly change our lifestyle?

When it comes to ebola, I believe we have not yet reached that threshold, at least in the US.

I’d like to keep it that way, too.
