"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.

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...

Is it time to worry yet? Although I’m surprised we haven’t seen large numbers outside of Africa so far.

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.

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.
