There is NO chance a dozen ragheads would infect themselves and fly to a dozen different major U.S. cities, visit mosques, infect as many malls, etc. before they exploded. No chance at all.
That’s as farfetched as a dozen learning how to fly, take over some planes with box cutters, and flying it into the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and White House. Opps, didn’t get the White House.
Nothing to see here...

Rush has said that the journey to reach the US border takes about 45 days. The incubation period of Ebola is 21 days at the longest. Any infected people leaving Africa will be dead long before they reach our border.
The major risk is that someone flies directly from Africa while incubating Ebola. In that case, they will be quarantined as soon as they become symptomatic and seek medical care, and their contacts will be monitored. Ebola is only communicable when symptoms appear.
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...
