I’m reminded of a line from Hank Hill some years back.
“I’m trying to prevent an outbreak and you’re driving the monkey to the airport”.
Ping...
Like hussien having a big afreakan party at the wh? Flying in who knows how many moose and their infected slaves.
The Ebola outbreak is moving faster than they can control it...and yet our feckless leader and his administration will bring two US citizens striken with the Ebola virus right here to the US for treatment.
No case has ever made it to these shores. Now our own government will bring them here. Another one of:
OBAMA’S TRAGIC FIRSTS

Ebola is a serious and dangerous diease. it is highly contagious and this patrticular strain has a 78-90% mortaility rate.
Not something that should ever be willing brought here.
Oh goodie!
Ahhhhh, the incentive.
A hundred MILLION dollars... for Africa.
Does it seem odd out of millions of people in Africa that so many westerners (as a percentage of population) came down with Ebola? And that the disease started in three separate regions at the same time - and in cities - which has never happened before...
I'd like to know HOW that hundred million is spent... and the millions that will follow. Or as Stalin would say, ""You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs."
Obama’s “Science Advisor”, Dr. John P. Holdren, is a RADICAL POPULATION CONTROL advocate who has previously called for COMPULSORY ABORTIONS to control pop. numbers.
Evola would be the ultimate “Forced Population Control” tool.
Given everything else this administration, full of radical academic theorists, has done, would it be beyond the pale to believe that some of them would consider this?
We all need a “Last Ship” to board.
Topic; posts BUMP!
This strain looks like it is AIRBORNE, not like influenza or the common cold, but it survives in large droplets in the air. The definition of airborne is being parsed.

From the article:
“One possibility is that the monkeys became infected by inhaling large aerosol droplets produced from the respiratory tracts of the pigs.
One of the scientists involved is Dr Gary Kobinger from the National Microbiology Laboratory at the Public Health Agency of Canada. He told BBC News this was the most likely route of the infection.
“What we suspect is happening is large droplets - they can stay in the air, but not long, they don't go far,” he explained.
“But they can be absorbed in the airway and this is how the infection starts, and this is what we think, because we saw a lot of evidence in the lungs of the non-human primates that the virus got in that way.”
Basically macaques and pigs in the same room no physical contact but Ebola transmitted.
“spread outpaces control”
otherwise known as an OUTBREAK
this is going to be very bad
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...
Either the health workers aren't taking precautions and safety wear seriously or this virus has mutated far past goggles and suits.
