These idiots can’t even manage a freaking *tiny* quarantine with competence.
Yes, you idiots. If you quarantine a family, you do have to bring them provisions.
Typical government management. NO COMMON SENSE.
Now, imagine if they quarantine an entire city. Are they going to let the people starve? Drive individuals to break quarantine to survive and feed their kids?
Typical, gov’t stupidity!
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human 'melting pot' NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus British survivor says 'horror' of children dying from disease must be avoided

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne

The Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.
In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.
Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest "Lying CDC"
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
Now, imagine if they quarantine an entire city. Are they going to let the people starve?
First they have to figure out many voted for Obama.
I'd assume that some professional environments and some local responders will be very professional and competent at handling epidemics. I would assume most people have at least a month of food and cleaning/hygiene supplies stocked up. But it won't be perfect.
Now would be a good time to stock up on a couple weeks worth of survival food.
With what force will they be willing to enforce a quarantine? If not deadly, then it is not going to work. Really: How many Americans would you shoot to enforce a quarantine of Dallas if it got bad?
The political will to effect a sizeable quarantine does not exist. Therefore, it seems very likely to me that this bug is going to be a word-wide pandemic like The Black Death.
There isn’t enough nerve in a politician to do what is necessary to limit absolute quantities of death.
(Pending discovery of exactly how infectious this thing is in the modern West....)
If she doesn’t have enough food to make a meal in her home after one day of quarantine she’s a poor housekeeper.
Government incompetence. However, they were thoughtful enough to buy millions of dollars in weapons and assault equipment for most departments, and to build holding concentration camps in wilderness areas. So they're kind of preparing, in case they slip up elsewhere the problem will be "solved".
Department of Homeland Bullsh*t set up ‘camps’ for illegal immigrants... and all the federal agencies have bullets, SWAT teams - - the works...
