Saudi Arabia has announced it will be rejecting pilgrims from Ebola-stricken nations who want to observe the annual Hajj in Mecca. This is to reduce risks of the virus getting into the Muslim country.
Hospitals and relative medical institutions have reportedly been alerted to prepare in case the Ebola springs up at one of the pilgrims already within the country. Over 22,000 general practitioners have also been tapped to deal with the pilgrims should any medical emergency arise.
Visas to pilgrims from those countries will not be entertained, the Saudi government said, according to the same report.

The Hajj is going to be an irresistible target for Iranian agents to want to spread Ebola to Sunni pilgrims. The primary target, of course, is to overthrow the Saudi regime by making them look incompetent in running Mecca and Medina.
This is a pretty good bet, because the Iranians have tried murderous stunts during the Hajj, before. Usually suicide missions.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
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...
