For all we are told—it might be hear now. We will get it and we will not be hit as hard as other lands. In this sickness, less democratic lands light be better off—they can stamp on rights, kill all who disobey and act for what is best for the state.

Is Ebola considered a “tropical disease”?

Per link above, one of the NIH specialists was found dead.... how many other of his ilk have died recently?

Not distributed, two went to the special unit at Emory, and this one is going to the Nebraska special unit.

“Emory is one of four high-level biocontainment patient care units in the U.S.; the others are located at the National Institutes of Health in Maryland, Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.”

Don’t be a liar, and don’t be troll.

Did you think that vitamin C was the cure for Ebola? You didn’t catch the sarcasm?

And why are you so obsessed with me anyway that you have been obsessing and posting about me since this Ebola thing started?

[ClearCase_guy]

Fair enough. I won’t panic then. But there’s always tomorrow ...

Now, that would give the economy here a big kick in the rear end! Those “revenues” from recirculating debt would come to a screeching halt.

Because you, sir, are a dangerous idiot.

[ansel12]

LOL, you can’t explain it, yet you are obsessed with me, now that is creepy.

You didn’t answer though, did you agree with that other poster that I was being sarcastic to on that other thread where you didn’t respond to me at all, yet linked to my post and lied about me on this thread, that vitamin C cures Ebola?

Fair enough. I won’t panic then. But there’s always tomorrow ...

I'm concerned about infected medical workers returning, but I am not panicked. The facilities are prepared and anticipating the nature of care and isolation.

What will panic me is when the first patient arrives in an emergency room with fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The medical staff do not have a diagnosis and send off for tests. Only later do they discover the patient has Ebola. The genie will be released from the bottle. It will be time to "panic." It is going to happen based on the actions of our government.

End of this Month?

I thought that was weird too. But I guess they are trying to train the Ebola isolation centers. I hope someone from Atlanta’s recent success goes up there to help make sure they do it right.

Not what I said, go back and re-read my post.

I said someone said they were worried about Ebola.

Are you or aren’t you?

If you aren’t that would explain why you are so eager to import Ebola patients into the US.

Did you or did you not say it was an American’s right to be treated in a US hospital?

I can track down the exact quote and reference if needed.

By the way, not that I’m stalking you or anything, but I have noticed you accusing a few people of stalking you. I wonder how many times a week I would see that if I really did bother to waste the bandwidth following you around?...

Exactly!!! Of course the last I read, there were still 3 of the 10 patients that they actually tested for Ebola in the U.S. that they hadn't ruled Ebola out. And the CDC wasn't revealing their locations.
