The problem may seem a world away, but may come much closer...

We decided to err on the side of caution,
And bring people from infected areas here!

Bring Out Your Dead
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UsFymRjvS6M/SwRkYCzQajI/AAAAAAAAAms/nrmLfrl5PsI/s1600/bringout.jpg)
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...

It is only a matter of time that Ebola comes to the US likely as a result of our open borders. Obama is transforming the US into a third world country including its diseases.

Obamacare wasn’t collapsing our healthcare system fast enough.
Even a small outbreak of this stuff will do that nicely.
To: Smokin' Joe
As alarm grows over the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa, families in Minnesotas large Liberian community are scrambling for plane tickets and visas to get relatives out of the stricken zone and at least two Twin Cities churches have canceled mission trips intended to deliver medical and other aid to Liberia. They're trying to BRING THEM HERE?!?!?!
Way to destroy the country by bringing the disease here.

This is how it will spread.
One of them already tried to get to better healthcare and has killed 3 people as a result.

community are scrambling for plane tickets and visas to get relatives out of the stricken zone And bring them to... THE USA of course. Does anyone other than me see something wrong with this?

Reading the headline alone made me think of Monty Python for some reason.
“Would it confuse it if we ran away some more?”

We are still letting airlines, ships and trains to operate in ebola areas?

Immigration ceased screening for infectious diseases a couple years back because it’s apparently “racist” for some reason.

You know, before I signed up for this Ping List, there wasn’t much going on. Coincidence? I sure hope so, LOL!

There needs to be mandatory month-long quarantine for anyone traveling from western Africa until they get this under control.
Or just a suspension of travel altogether.
I appreciate that the Samaritan Purse aid workers who returned are in voluntary quarantine until the incubation period passes.

How wonderful. Share the virus with all of us, huh? No sane policy would allow any incoming flights from those countries where Ebola is raging.
