Not reading it. I’m already panicked. I wish someone of import would take a stand. A State or 3. I would join them.
I strongly recommend reading it. I was highly concerned already, but after closely taking in the author’s excellent data and analysis, I’m very seriously thinking of grabbing my family and bugging out from the D.C. area, back to rural upstate NY....
"Not reading it. I’m already panicked." - Vaquero
Then first watch Bill Whittle discuss
. . . he tempers fear with rational science.
Then please take the time to read this "Weekly Standard" article, Six Reasons to Panic which explains why this rational science brings out the fear in all of us.
From which I quote:
"(3) Do you really want to be scared? What’s to stop a jihadist from going to Liberia, getting himself infected, and then flying to New York and riding the subway until he keels over? This is just the biological warfare version of a suicide bomb. Can you imagine the consequences if someone with Ebola vomited in a New York City subway car?A flight from Roberts International in Monrovia to JFK in New York is less than $2,000, meaning that the planning and infrastructure needed for such an attack is relatively trivial. This scenario may be highly unlikely. But so were the September 11 attacks and the Richard Reid attempted shoe bombing, both of which resulted in the creation of a permanent security apparatus around airports. We take drastic precautions all the time, if the potential losses are serious enough, so long as officials are paying attention to the threat."
Juxtapose the ACTUAL news report from yesterday morning against the above quote:
"A passenger died on a Nigeria-to-JFK flight after a vomiting fit Thursday — and a top lawmaker said officials gave the corpse only a “cursory” exam before declaring that the victim did not have Ebola.
Sobering stuff.
