Six Reasons to Panic

As a rule, one should not panic at whatever crisis has momentarily fixed the attention of cable news producers. But the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which has migrated to both Europe and America, may be the exception that proves the rule. There are at least six reasons that a controlled, informed panic might be in order.

Fantastic article that corrects misinformation about how long ebola survives on dry surfaces.

Read this and you may find more reason to panic about Ebola this winter: http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/2014/09/us-army-says-ebola-flu-in-airborne.html

Lately a reason to quietly panic is that the “experts” such as the idiot doctor in New York bowling, and the idiot nurse suing, is that they endanger people without any remorse, it seems.

Synopsis: USAMRIID stusies show that in colder and dry conditions, Ebola is as airborne as Influenza Type-A http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/2014/09/us-army-says-ebola-flu-in-airborne.html

I won’t panic. I will just stay put and wait for the government to tell me what to do and take care of me. They are the only ones qualified to make decisions... I also will not act until I hear what Beyonce and Jay Z have to say on any subject.

And note that some digging has shown them to be lefty “do gooders”, guess they only want to do good by the turd world and not fellow Americans.

I also will not act until I hear what Beyonce and Jay Z have to say on any subject.

wouldn't be surprised if Obama has already called on them for help in this matter. Maybe you won't have to wait long to hear from them.

No reason to panic. Reason. Be informed. Be prepared. Adapt to the changing circumstances. Do not be a victim.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

There's a good possibility this thing has gotten loose into nature, like mites, flies or mosquitos, biting bats, transmitting it in bat caves or underpasses if you like that better, and chimps at the zoo. Yep, it's likely to be here indefinitely with periodic outbreaks like the black plague. That's still around. Only it can be treated effectively now, I think.

We had two phase outbreaks with the Spanish flu, maybe more smaller ones. Finally it went away so somehow it stopped spreading.

Watch countries that don't get it, if any, and look how they kept it out, if they do.

The bubonic plague has an antibiotic now, but the side effects are awful, we also know how to control the fleas which carry it, and it is tough to spread in decent sanitation levels. But bubonic plague is at the same class as a disease as Ebola is: class 4. Plague is still dangerous even with the antibiotic.

This does not bode well for my winter desert climate.

Not panic, however, staying as far away from certain places as possible would be nice.
