Lagos isn’t in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone, it’s in Nigeria. Nigeria hasn’t had a new case in over a month.

The visas to those three countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, are what needs to stop, pronto.

Did I just hear Glenn Beck say that Brazil has a confirmed Ebola case now?

FYI, there are 200 million Black people in Brazil, more than any other country outside Africa...what's significant is that most are ill-educated, poor and live in filthy slums.

When will we begin to get desperation fights from there?

Geeze, and I have to fly in late January from Midway (CHI) to PHX but on Southwest Airlines. I will be loaded up with Vit. C, zinc, echinacea.

40% of the people in this country would vote democrat EVEN if half of their families were infected by an illegal Mexican. In fact, those infected would vote democrat. They’re extremely mentally challenged.

Well, don’t worry about the Africans with Visas. Boner has “asked” Obama to pull them. TEMPORARILY!

Did Boner specify visas or just ‘flights’?

According to many sources, the Brazil man with symptoms has tested negative twice in the last 5 days.

I was planning to fly from Detroit in to Santa Ana (John Wayne) to visit my brother in Laguna next spring. Having my doubts about traveling now.

Lots of people are going to die. Potential loss is 5-6b.

There are 7 billion people in the world, so you could say the potential loss is 7 billion. A much more realistic number is between 1.4 and 3.3 billion people, and that is pretty close to an absolute worst case. Ebola is like movie zombies - very slow moving. If we (okay, not "we", not with Obama leading our country, but Europe, Japan, and other countries with capable leaders) can't respond in time to keep the numbers well below 1.4B that would be shocking. The totals will be terrible by the time this outbreak disappears, but I don't expect anything near your number.

Sounds reasonable, although there are many things that could prevent a global outbreak (vaccine, a travel ban), or minimize it. But one thing shouldn't be forgotten: if there is a global outbreak, Ebola will be confronted with a buffet of potential animal vectors to choose from. Once it gets into those, we can expect to have to play Whack-a-Mole for generations, until people develop natural resistances, or until some kind of non-strain specific vaccine is created.

“I have to fly in late January...”

Honestly, I think you need to try to find a workaround for your plans. By January no one may be flying.

Personally, I think many of us would be better protected if we take doses of vitamin C and some of the items on the list Natural News put out the other day to build the immune system, wash hands constantly, etc.

Anybody want to bet me that the two sick Texas nurses are Obozo voters and think he’s doing a great job——hurl——? And will vote for him again if they get a chance?

You didn't mention the most important one, IMO.

The Antibiotic Vitamin

I noted some time ago that our local mule and black tail deer have a condition that kills them just like ebola. It’s called hemoraghic adenovirus and kills them by dehydration , weight loss, and orifice bleeding——just like ebola. Our local geniuses say it can’t transmit to humans but I lost my appetite for venison and I only use the tractor/backhoe to handle dead ones for burial. Don’t even save the hides anymore. There seems to be rampant head-in-the-sand ignorance combined with lazyass incompetence thru out all levels of gummint?
