Saudi Arabia was very concerned about the spread of Ebola, and had banned pilgrims from certain African countries entering Arabia for the Hajj.
I can dream can't I?
Poof! We get an Ebola wizard and no more Ebola......news that is. It’s a miracle.
Hajj may be the answer ...

See this thread. See the linked post. Apparently squeezing the poop out of a dead Ebola victim is a bad idea. Who knew?
Make sure to note the Muslim population ratio to Muslim cases.
The Hajj (annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca) takes place from the 8th to the 12th of Zul-Hijjah
How many were exposed to this virus by these 4 pilgrims?
See post following yours. Hajj may very well be the answer. I don’t see goat f’n radical moose limbs changing their ways.
I was thinking that in the part of the world where these terrorists are active, Ebola is present and unchecked.
Of course terrorists’ life style is likely to put them in direct and prolonged association with this thing...
Hmmm...I wonder how many of them it will infect, before they come begging!
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...
Poof! We get an Ebola wizard and no more Ebola......news that is. Its a miracle.
funny how Sauds close borders to its pilgrims even for a sacred event while we keep ours open.
Our country is committing suicide.
I am prepared for this thing. Plenty of food, cases of: Hazmat suits, n95 masks, non vented goggles, disinfectants, gloves, etc.
Working on our family protocol.
Btw, get sterno. It is the best hand/ glove disinfectant being 90% ethanol. Rough on hands tho. Moisturize after applying. 99.99999999% effective. Log10 kill after 10 minutes. It is ethanol and calcium acetate (egg shells soaked in vinegar) with a bit of methanol to denature it and traces of pink dye. Being a gell it can go in the hand sanitizer pump bottles. Regular sanitizer is 65% ethanol and only a log4 kill, ie 99.99% kill after 10 minutes.
It would be really bad if Hajj spread ebola, since Haj involved a million people densely packed in a tent city - and all going back to nations from civilized Western to third world heck holes.
Ps. Wait till your hands are dry from sterno before moisturizing.
That information isn't provided in the posted article. Consider, however, the population that travels to Hajj also returns to any of the 57 shariah dung heaps on this planet. How many are currently experiencing flu like symptoms and dismiss their aches and pains due to the belief that Hajj travel restrictions would protect them?
From what I've been reading, there are lulls between surges in numbers of new Ebola infections.
“How many were exposed to this virus by these 4 pilgrims?”
I don’t know, but it wasn’t enough.
If that happened, they would spread out and try to infect as many infidels as possible.
THAT agenda is probably already underway
Finally some good Ebola news!
