Fears of global Ebola outbreak across continents
The Telegraph ^ | 10/9/2014 | Philip Sherwell

Posted on 10/09/2014 1:53:22 PM PDT by Prospero

Fears of a global Ebola outbreak spread yesterday as French officials sealed off a building with 60 people inside, an Australian nurse was tested for the disease and airplane cleaners went on strike in New York.

In France, police imposed a lock-down on a social services centre in a town near Paris after four people who arrived from Guinea this month fell ill with headaches and fever.

Officials in Cergy Pontoise, northwest of the capital, later said that the fears that the four were suffering from Ebola were a false alarm and the nearly 60 others inside were allowed to leave.

But the drastic reaction of the authorities in France, which has not reported any cases of Ebola, indicated the scale of concerns gripping officials across several continents.

I would rephrase it slight - Nothing makes situations like this worse than idiots telling us there is nothing to worry about.

Can you imagine if Ebola was in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala instead of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone?

We need to SHUT DOWN our southern border yesterday!!

Still waiting for our federal government to institute these three common sense emergency Public Health ideas (right out of the Public Health books and CDC guidelines):

1.Travel restrictions in and out of hot zones.

2. Secure the U.S. borders.

3. Quarantining any Ebola-suspicious immigrants or travelers.

Better safe than sorry.

He wants to destroy the USA and has contempt for hard-working Americans.

It isn't just the USA, but Western, Christian based civilization. It is no accident Christians have been labelled potential "domestic Terrorists", that Obamacare has requirements which are decidedly anti-Christian, and he speaks highly of Islam. He is doing his part to clear the way for the Caliphate, by any means possible. That includes eradicating the traditional religions of Africa as well--not muslim is still kaffir/infidel to him.

He is just attacking the strongest first.

You should Google Dr. Frederick Klenner, and Vitamin C to Treat Ebola. There are a number of interesting and clinically informative articles there. Each case would be different, but it could easily be 100 grams or more a day IV. I have taken as much as 25 grams in a day when I had the flu. The experts say take it to “bowel tolerance.” That means the point at which you develop diarrhea. I have gotten acid farts or burning urine at very high doses at which point I cut back about 10%. If using very high doses, the amount needs to be lowered gradually not stopped suddenly or you can get a dangerous/deadly rebound effect. Is that what killed the guy in Dallas?

Yes, Vitamin D is great, and functions more like a hormone throughout the body. Several members of my family suffer from “winter depression.” They are getting good results with 1000 to 2000 units of D a day, the higher amount in the winter. However, for Ebola with its scurvy like symptoms, go with Vitamin C until some specific cure is found.

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...

I watched that on television as a child. I remember it very clearly because even I understood that was the only way out for those people who were surrounded by bad guys.
