45 in Sierra Leone is probably like 65 here.

Look at the death rates over there demographically, with the death rates here demographically.

Sorry, I think it’s time to rethink the percentages.

I don’t think we can judge based on outcomes there to extrapolate outcomes here.

"The Ebola age divide: Fatality rate in over 45 y.o. is 94% with under 25 y.o. having the best chance of survival."


That is reason numero uno why all commercial travel to the global ebola hotspots must be halted.
This is a disease that strong kids in their early 20's are desperately grasping for their lives.
If that virus makes a foothold here and finds folks that are young, old, or even middle-age yet fighting typical health issues...they are G-O-N-E-R-S.

And that is in SIerra Leone, a third world country with a huge population of under nourished or malnourished citizens. Don’t give me ‘tribal’ statistics from some dump hole and then tell me that those apply in a modern first world nation

But then maybe this is Obozo’s method of getting even for all of those white folks who brought diseases (most of which is a canard) from Europe to the poor Nobel Savages here in the Americas

So to solve our issue of $100 trillion un-funded liabilities (future medicare, medicaid & social security payouts) ...

Option 1: Increase supply - the amount of money going in (dramatically increase payroll taxes);

Option 2: Decrease demand. It would be so “unfortunate” if a large number of old folks contracted a disease that had a 94% mortality rate.

Well. Then I am glad I have always been in the top five percent! It’s my only chance.

I do believe your option 2 has hit the target.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

Yeah? So?

If we eliminate the elderly we’ll have more money to raid from social security.

If we eliminate the sickly, obamacare becomes affordable.

If I start sneezing and vomiting at age 71, I may as well take out a couple of CDC officials for not following the basic principles of public health in closing our borders.

Well, that would make it convenient for the leftists, then, huh? Good demographics for their work force, as we oldsters drop dead.

Of course, who knows which study is the real deal and which is propaganda?
