great organizational chart Ansell !

Now...let ONLY members of these named organization be tasked , as volunteers , to go .

Not regular soldiers , sailors , airmen and Marines .
It is NOT their mission . They are NOT pawns .

I hope the chart helped inform you some of the variety of military missions regarding disease.

We already have some soldiers in Africa like we do during every outbreak of Ebola and during Sars and such, but here are what these 3,000 will be doing.

“The key elements of military response will focus on logistics, supplies, engineering, support for the Accra, Ghana, “air bridge” for transport of supplies and personnel to the epidemic, and the construction of at least 17 new hospital facilities designated for Ebola care.

The military will also build a training facility, which will rapidly teach infection control and self-protection procedures to hundreds of local and foreign health workers. The military hopes to process up to 500 health workers, both civilians and humanitarian responders, in a week.”

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...

and to my suggestion : Volunteers ONLY ? And no ground pounder trigger pullers , being ordered into a virus danger zone on a non-volunteer basis ?
I just have to vote ‘ no cinfidence ‘ for the least qualified C&C that our Armed Forces have ever been saddled with in the entire history of their respectives Services . How/why they put up with this guy is a mystery to me . He is not worth their oath .

Thanks for the ping!

When you were in the military would you have considered this a purely volunteer aid mission?

[LeoWindhorse]

sorry , I was never in the military
Grew up ‘ in the military ‘ but never served .

[LeoWindhorse]

78 ......

this go to show how difficult it is to advance a public out-cry

I hope many more are making noise about this , in other ways .

So many people just don’t care anymore . They are ‘ too busy’
and indeed we are !
We will be busy , right up until the time some unfathomable disaster strikes .....
