Ping...

The problem may seem a world away, but may come much closer...

“We decided to err on the side of caution,”

And bring people from infected areas here!

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

It is only a matter of time that Ebola comes to the US likely as a result of our open borders. Obama is transforming the US into a third world country including its diseases.

And bring them to... THE USA of course. Does anyone other than me see something wrong with this?

Reading the headline alone made me think of Monty Python for some reason.
“Would it confuse it if we ran away some more?”

We are still letting airlines, ships and trains to operate in ebola areas?

There needs to be mandatory month-long quarantine for anyone traveling from western Africa until they get this under control.

Or just a suspension of travel altogether.

I appreciate that the Samaritan Purse aid workers who returned are in voluntary quarantine until the incubation period passes.

Yeah, what could go wrong with that idea?

How wonderful. Share the virus with all of us, huh? No sane policy would allow any incoming flights from those countries where Ebola is raging.

I would never go on vacation in a country known for ebola.
