"We have a worst-case scenario, and you don't even want to know," warns Alessandro Vespignani, a researcher creating simulations of infectious disease outbreaks, but there could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month. The projections only run through October because its too difficult to model what will occur if the pace of the outbreak changes but, as Bloomberg reports, Vespignani warns if the outbreak becomes more widespread in other regions, it "would be like a bad science fiction movie."
As Bloomberg reports,

Schools are already closing. Airlines. Quarantines.
20 people multiplies that exposure of hundreds to thousands or tens of thousands.
Any public place (malls, movie theater, etc.) will be ghost towns. It’ll cripple an already weak economy.

If this happens, new grounds for impeachment: willful killing of citizens for political reasons. “High crimes and misdemeanors..”
I’d recommend avoiding the wookie’s lunches
And when that happens, somewhere, Obama and his minions will be hoping that the people who get infected live in red states
fyi
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
[Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction.
The importation of disease ridden future Democrats could ultimately lead to a lower overall population that is much more conservative.
Milton Friedman's law of unintended consequences strikes back!
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...
“We have a worst-case scenario, and you don’t even want to know,”
Sure we do. Lay it on us.
President Obola has the border wide open.
I hate to tell the idiots but Ebola would burn through the liberal cities like an August prairie fire.
Everything closes down because of a national epidemic.
No one goes to work. People forage for food from what they have stored.
Spanish flu all over again.
Now THAT would be nice karma for them since they wish Ebola on us..I would LOVE to see how the likes of Waxman and Sheila Jackson Lee would like it if Ebola came to their cities..Hey I have an idea, send all the Ebola infested Liberians to Sheila’s house, there could be a sign outside her house saying “WELCOME ALL EBOLA INFECTED PEOPLE FREE ROOM AND BOARD”
Well done.
Haven’t heard that song in years.
Actually I was listening to it, just before Beethoven on Pandora, when I was reading the post. Lot's of liberal pap included, it is a anti war song, but it seemed very appropriate.
How many cases before the epidemiologist-in-chief resigns?
Nothing to panc about, just ask Obola!
