Hard to know what is going on. On one hand they swear it come here on the other hand it appears that they are prepping for it like crazy. No or they are late with quarantines and yet they are hunting for people that were exposed.

"“It is not a potential of Ebola spreading widely in the U.S.,” director Thomas Friedman told reporters on a conference call Thursday. “That is not in the cards.” "

0bama speak.

[morphing libertarian]

I’m not a Dr or scientist, but let’s see what would have more risk, letting the virus in to the country or not letting it in?

Tough question.

Preppers PING!

Let’s make this our weekly prepper thread.

I’ll go first.

Dak canned ham on sale at CVS two for $5.00

I picked up some nice Coleman brand light sticks at Smiths (Kroger) 25 cents each on clearance.

Last I got this From Marcella on medical gloves:

I will get heavy duty Nitrile Gloves. I have gloves but they are not thick enough to make me comfortable with deadly viruses. Here is some info. on thick ones. I won’t get them here since would have to buy so many.
Marcella

Hard to know what is going on is right.

Another example of why it's critical to have a government the people can trust; why character matters in elected officials and in the alphabet agencies.

Not to mention a responsible media.

[Lurker]

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Was this the head of the CDC that left vials of Anthrax in the closet, plague virus in ziplock bags for shipment, etc.? Can already hear the “unexpectedly, the Ebola virus was released into major metropolitan areas todaty”. The head of the CDC says not to worry because we have everything under control. Citizens are requested to report to the assigned FEMA quarantine camp.

[RginTN]

open borders annd ebola...can one call this treason.

[bakeneko]

Watching the “The Stand” now on Netflix.

The Dark Man is Here!!

[CdMGuy]

Another blithering idiot from Obamaland speaks out. As if this lying POS has any idea whether the Ebola virus will spread in the US. There is one thing I am certain of, and that is that the Ebola virus cannot jump over an ocean. Anyone with half a brain would refuse entry onto any plane or ship heading to the US. No one with Ebola virus should be allowed to enter the US.

[Mechanicos]

Perfect opportunity to impose martial law under a moral appearing justification....

[bgill]

Ack, I thought TX had 2 facilities but didn’t know about Houston. It doesn’t bring much comfort that we need 3 out of the 20 nation wide. I know, illegals and all but geez.

[DannyTN]

I don’t like that they picked all major cities.

They obviously believe they can contain it. But if they are wrong smaller cities would have been a better pick.

The only one that half way makes sense is the one located at the tip of florida. But even that one is Miami.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I was just reading today's USA TODAY paper and on page 3A there is an article stating that the NIH has been working on a Ebola vaccine that they are going to start testing in September. How Bloody Convenient.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping...

[Smokin' Joe]

Look again. Move significant numbers of people to the camps...er, containment facilities, and you empty out the great plains from Canada to Texas...the Sierras to the Mississippi...

I wonder if the gubmint will wait until the crops are in, because all the people they are importing probably don't know jack about running and maintaining a combine with a 50 ft. header...

"Spreading WIDELY... That's not in the cards."

How the hell can the Director CDC be so careless with his choice of words in a public statement? It will spread, just not widely? Ebola virus has playing cards, or the CDC is playing cards with population eradication? Am I reading too much into this phraseology?

[metmom]

Yeah, well, I’m preparing for the worst anyway.

I want to have plenty of medical supplies on hand as I do not want to have my medicines and medical supplies coming from some third world country that is in the throes of an Ebola outbreak.

I figure if I get them now, I have much less of a risk of getting contaminated supplies.

I am also stocking up on household stuff and meat, as I usually do come the fall anyway.

CNY is no picnic in the winter and it looks like the outlook is for another bad one. I always prep for winter anyways so as to avoid hauling in lots of bulky stuff through the snow, ice, and slop.

We live a fair distance from the nearest grocery store so I like to be able to go for a few weeks without needing to run out for every little thing. It would be nice to know that I could avoid human contact for a few weeks, although my husband has to go to work and my 20 something daughter just rolls her eyes a lot about the thought of taking precautions to avoid something like this. She’ll learn.

I’m wondering how Ebola does in a cold climate, whether it kills the virus on environmental surfaces more quickly with the cold and dry.
