"It is deteriorating faster, and moving faster, than we can respond to," Liu told reporters. "Like in a war time, we have a total collapse of infrastructure," she added.Kind of says it all.

And yet WHO’s Margaret Chan (who’s from HK), assures us that the risk of it traveling via airline is miniscule.
Not that China has an interest in depopulating Africa or anything...
To: Covenantor
Is it time to worry yet? Although I’m surprised we haven’t seen large numbers outside of Africa so far.

She was critical of the WHOI was never a Roger Daltrey fan either.

Will never happen.
PTB’s have determined it’s to their advantage to spread it.
Or have determined that they will remain safe from it and the economic downside for them outweighs any downside to the peasants.

Hopefully the actual cruise will be less boring than the show.

Well, let me break out my Tamiflu.
Seems like a good time to start screaming about bird flu again.
Pamdemic! Pandemic! Pandemic!

Yep, and somebody soon will figure out how to weaponize it. At least the plague was a bacterial infection, and can be treated with antibiotics. This one, god help us if it runs rampant, because nobody on earth will be able to.

To be truthful, the countries that are experiencing the outbreaks had little infrastructure to begin with.

"Close the airports while we figure it out."You'd think that would be the first extraordinary measure taken.

MSF says Ebola 'fast,' medics 'facing war-like scenario' Meanwhile, apparently no restrictions on flights from infected areas, and CERTAINLY no border controls. A pandemic is just the thing that king 0bama has been looking for to declare martial law and complete his coup d'etat.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Liu, those 2 albums with Kenny Jones replacing the deceased Keith Moon were pretty bad.
To: Vendome
Let me know when it reaches the levels of just regular flu.
Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.

Way past time to worry.
With a hypo of infected blood and 50 people willing to die...
If I could figure it out, ISIS could.
They wouldn’t even be blamed as it couldn’t be traced back to them.
