Millions of people - several countries... no problem. We sending 3,000 boots... I’m sure they won’t ask for more.../s
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Don’t worry. The U.S. Gubmint said if you like your Ebola, you can keep your Ebola.
or this guy?
“70%,” eh? That exposes some of the lies being told about the death rate. There’s no vaccine or cure, either. Researchers have been trying to find vaccines and cures for well over 30 years. Some of the treatments publicized are lacking evidence of effectiveness and are only produced extremely slowly. Preparing for personal quarantine and avoiding travel would probably be the best use of the short duration of time ahead.
Stocking up in the home place instead of planning vacations for a few years might be the best way to go.
That 70% figure caused me to remember that 25 years ago when I worked in West Africa the local population was estimated to be 40% HIV positive.
I shudder to think what the HIV rate is today in West Africa, but I wonder if their HIV compromised immune system has anything to do with their Ebola susceptibility.
I wonder what the role of Vitamine K is in Ebola?
Well at least it is not at a crisis stage yet. As Nancy Pelosi would say “it’s just an upturn in the economy for morticians, coffin makers and cemeteries”.
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
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...
