Nigeria has many problems - corruption and inefficiency but its also one of Africa’s few vibrant and free societies after decades of military dictatorships.
I have to hand it to them they did what we still can’t do - remain ebola-free. I’d feel safer in Lagos than in Dallas.
At the height of the investigation 20,000 persons were being monitored daily for signs of infection.
Well, part of their strategy seems to involve placing infected people on planes bound for JFK Airport ...
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 don’t believe any of this crap from governments or their “media” outlets anymore. I’ve been hearing that the west African countries have stopped Ebola “dead in its tracks” and the next news report says that they expect the deaths from Ebola to continue to double each week. WHICH IS IT BONEHEADS!!! DO ANY OF YOU KNUCKLEHEADS EVEN HAVE A CLUE???
Hasn’t the BBC disallowed any comments being posted from skeptics? I noted hardly anyone questioning the article, just ass kissers, that think all is fine. No mention if they have sealed their borders, which is the only effective way to prevent people getting infected.
