I imagine the two nurses who contracted Ebola because of federal government incompetence think it is already "serious".

President Obama vowed a more “aggressive” federal response to the spread of Ebola in the United States. And he offered assurance tonight that a “serious outbreak” remains extremely unlikely.
“I want people to understand that the dangers of you contracting Ebola, the dangers of a serious outbreak, are extraordinarily low,” he said after meeting with Cabinet members and other top aides. “But we are taking this very seriously at the highest levels of government.”
That assurance that a “serious” outbreak is unlikely is markedly less optimistic than the one Obama offered only a week earlier in a call with governors and mayors across the country, when he said that “the chance of an Ebola outbreak in the United States remains extremely low.”
As for health care workers in Dallas, “we understand that many of them are scared,” the president said tonight.

> this buttplug thinks the economy’s better than ever so i really don’t think his definition of “serious” fits with mine or any other sane person’s.
Well to be fair if you had about 1/2 billion in your bank account, played golf every day, had all of your college paid for by a Saudi Arabian prince, and never worked a hard day’s work in your life, you’d think every one else’s life was a bed of roses too.../s
It's scarier than that. These woman are going to get just as sick and infectious as Clark was. And, if Ebola continues as it has been, they will infect two more health care workers each. They in turn will infect two more each, etc. etc.
Ebola is EXTREMELY easy for health care workers to catch.
I dare say that a buttplug has more utility than our community-organizer-in-chief.
Didn’t Obama also say, if we did get a case in the US, they would stop it in it’s tracks? THey couldn’t even stop it from going to Cleveland and back.
Define “serious”, as used in this context.
Define “outbreak”, as used in this context.
Now I know we are {expletived}. bammy lies all the time. The only things he doesn’t lie about are the things he doesn’t know enough about to lie about. If he says it’s fine, we are headed for a meltdown. I am no-s**t starting to lay in extra food and water tomorrow.
Think about it ...
obola comes on every TV at 9PM, states there is a national security problem with the outbreak of mass ebola infections in hjsdfsdfb city texas and calls for a temporary martial law .... by the time hjsdfsdfb texas finally get's wind of it and alerts the country that there is NO outbreak ... it's too late ... all of obola's civilian army are armed, activated and scaring people to death ... except the armed ones that just say f it and start taking out whatever looks like a cop
In 4 hours, the country can be thrown into mass KOS (the correct phonetic of those letters)
Liars lie...that’s what they do. Clown Prince obola is a proven chronic, serial liar.
I guess we’ll find out.
“The Masque Of The Red Death for anyone who really wants a creepy evening.”
Perfect. Sadly perfect.
There’s a fantastic 1964 film version with Vincent Price that I’ve always enjoyed. Initially, it seems rather improbably directed and styled in that immediately identifiable, vintage 60’s manner that most associate with Batman or the original Star Trek. But, give it a chance, by the end you’ll be stunned, it’s actually masterful. This movie is what finally convinced me that Vincent Price was something more than a caricature of a Shakespearean stage actor only good for hosting and narration of b-grade horror movies.
“So...we’ve upgraded “outbreak unlikely” to “serious outbreak unlikely”? And that bit about “we’re prepared” and details thereof, well, so far not so much.”
Just like protocols were not followed, but we have no clue which ones. Because we never had any in the first place.
Probably we should keep an eye on whether Bummer and Moochie start curtailing their trips. True, they travel on AirForce One, but other folks arrive at places on different means of travel.
And I wonder when they will pull the girls out of their Sidwell school. Not even the armed protection will protect the students from diseased borne by their no-doubt oft traveling parents.
Once the serious outbreak starts building steam, Obama will assure Americans that a majority of us will survive.
If the Obastard is confident there wont be a serious outbreak then I am upgrading to BSL-4 level equipment!
I emailed it out to my list, figuring it was apropos after Obola’s trite comments.
“Serious Outbreak.”
An interesting but totally nonsensical term.
To me a serious outbreak happens whenever your ability to immediately treat the outbreak is exceeded by the outbreak’s number of victims. i.e. more people getting and staying sick than you can treat. Also in my definition of “treatment” is more than 50% of the patients go home alive and non-infectious.
So, what is the demonstrated critical factor for treating Ebola patients? Two patients survived Ebola earlier this year; they were in a class IV isolation hospital room. One Ebola patient didn’t - he was in a run-of-the-mill hospital room.
An extremely small sample size with loads of variables.
But, now we have two more confirmed Ebola patients that probably were infected within a few days of each other in early October. They are about the same age and gender. One is being treated in a run-of-the-mill hospital (demonstrated survival rate of zero) and the other in a class IV isolation hospital room (demonstrated survival rate of 100%).
Again sample sizes too small to draw any conclusion from.
But, what happens if the two survival rates are repeated?
That means any Ebola outbreak between now an New Years that produces more than 25 patients at the same time or more than 100 patients in the next 75 days becomes a “serious outbreak” because those numbers exceed the current number of hospital beds/patient days.
75 days - isn’t that New Years Day 2015?
It’s already “serious”.
I knew.
I imagine the two nurses who contracted Ebola because of federal government incompetence think it is already "serious".
