Suppose contacts only contract Ebola at a 5% rate.
That’s 5 people he has infected.
How many people have those 5 people infected? 25?
And those 25?
Anyone ready for a quarantine yet?
Moving up now quickly, as predicted. 100 by tomorrow will seem inconsequential.
The Dale Carnegie of the infected African set.
It is reported that Duncan was vomiting “wildly” outside the apartment complex. Who cleaned up the vomit? Does the family have their own washer/dryer or do they go to a laundromat? What about garbage pick-up? And what about when the family went grocery shopping (touching all those vegies)? President Obola screwed us big time.
Captain Trips is here.
Have fun! This is The Stand, folks.
Hawaii is half way around the world from ebola stricken Africa.
How sick was this person while they traveled?
How many planes did this person have to ride on to get to Hawaii?
How many people did they come into contact with on planes, airports and in Hawaii?
This case almost seems deliberate...
From the link:
Weeks said that the family is concerned that Duncan was admitted to the hospital and put in isolation on Sunday, but hasn’t received the experimental Ebola drugs.
“I don’t understand why he is not getting the Zmapp,” Weeks said.
The s.o.b. non-citizen starts an epidemic here and wants the experimental drugs?
Want the truth? Can America handle the truth? Does anyone really want to know the truth? Want to guess? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions? Your best guess? I do not know so will not guess.
I wonder how long this virus survives outside the body, say on a door knob?
I think this should be important information to disseminate.
And the MSM can’t seem to spread the word (or the panic) fast enough.
Looking like the October Surprise here, people.
And obama said is was unlikely to come here to America. That is until he started shipping them here and not stopping flights from the countries with the infected people.
I expect all those thousands of soldiers obama sent to Africa are really nervous being around ebola infected people.
The soldiers will come back to the US and who knows if they will be infected.
They need to not only watch for symptoms.
They need to limit their contact with others and record the names and contact information of anyone they do come in contact with.

If you see something like this on a persons arm...RUN LIKE HELL!
Ebola = Ebama = Obola
You know, I kinda thought about NOT doing this, but since it appears some people want this to cause a panic...So be it...
I would say the best thing to do is not go to the ER if you or someone you know believes (thinks) they have been in contact, or has been exposed to the Ebola pathogen...
A real leadership role in this would be to tell people to limit their exposure at public events for about 2-3 weeks, allow those who may very well be virulent, to be identified and the chain of exposure would be limited if people would NOT panic and go to a healthcare facility right away...
Make a PHONE CALL, first, who do you call???
Good question...
CDC Atlanta - (800-232-4636) TTY: (888) 232-6348
Or...
Go ahead and call your local hospital and let them know, let the teams come to you, do not go to them...
Sure, its going to be scary, they’ll prolly roll up on you with HAZMAT suits on...But hey, YOU are doing the right thing...Limiting your potential exposure to others because YOU believe you may be infected is a very mature, logical, and sensible thing to do...
Too bad this word is not going to get out fast enough before the weekend though...
I did hear that some folks are considering shutting down Friday night football in the Dallas area...That may happen, it may not...But that will certainly feed the fire of panic in people too damn stupid to understand how well this entire country can prove itself to the rest of the world that we do respect the disease, and we know how to mitigate the spread of this if everyone take a moment and THINKS first before acting...
But hey, this is just me, what do I know, I only live here...For now...;-)
Just mentioned ebola to a millennial in a grocery store. He said “You can’t get ebola unless you catch aids” then looked at me like I’m an idiot. Which is what all millennials do since they know so much more than everyone else. We are in trouble if we ever have to depend on that generation.
