Why would a counter terrorism adviser be issuing this statement ?

Everybody else gone for the weekend ?

Dealing with exploding corpses is a small price to pay for free birth control.

Just wait until flu season hits to see what a completely paralyzed nation that battens down the barricades REALLY looks like! And thank you, President Obola for your “fundamental transformation” when flu season hits! Oh, and PLEASE let’s keep those West African shuttles flying back and forth, since obviously it would do no good anyway with your open borders policy. Oh, and everyone? Be sure to vote a straight Democrat ticket in November: they really DO care about you folks, ya’ll hear? After all:

“Now, I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama stressed. “... But make no mistake: My policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.” (Including unrestricted West African air flights.)

You bet they do...They need proper guidance.

I forecast a point where, if Ebola becomes a real threat, that hospitals are forced to shut because the workers will stay home. As hospitals close the effect will become a cascading disaster as more patients clog remaining hospitals and the remaining staff is overextended.

I suspect that in previous pandemics nurses and doctors saw their job as a calling. I think that many doctors and nurses today see their job simply as that, a job...not a calling. In other words, we’ve moved from faith and love bringing one to the medical profession to it’s just a lucritive job. No job is worth dying for.

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...
