It’s a small world after all, as the globalists always remind us. If Ebola get loose at Harvard, we’ll see how quickly there will be travel restrictions.

The patient recently traveled to West Africa.

In which case I'm all for the "abundance of caution".

Flu season would be much more bearable if travelers from West Africa were prohibited from entering the United States. It is going to be hysteria (justified) on an unprecedented scale.

But Congress has more important things to do than worry about virulent death on a massive scale: their reelections.

The majority of the left is in densely populated cities. They’ll get hit hardest

My late mom’s HMO. Yet another reason why I’m glad I’m not an inmate of the People’s State of Taxachusetts.

But I’ll wager this is a false alarm, albeit an enormously expensive typical false alarm. False alarms will outnumber positives by at least 10:1, perhaps 100:1, but with NOTHING effective being done to prevent a repeat of the Duncan scenario, every 100th case is going to become a new pandemic potential.

And now that, predictably, a health care worker has been infected in the very first re-transmission case, we could see a quick collapse of the health care house of cards, as workers decide that staying home, even without pay, trumps catching Obama’s Change You Can Bereave In.

Anyone else get the impression, that we aren’t being told the full story of Ebola? We hear these unconfirmed reports of possible cases, etc. popping up all over the country. Then we are told, well, this wasn’t actually Ebola in that particular case.

I hope and pray there is no pandemic. I hope and pray that health officials are on top of things. I fear the worst but hope and pray for the best.

I think so but I also think a big part of that is they really don't understand Ebola as well as most Americans think they do...

I think the media is mostly to blame for that...you know if it bleeds it leads...

Fear sells, peace and calm are boring...

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...

Ah, the ol’ CDC meme, “out of an abundance of caution.”
