Who said a Doctorate was good for nothing?
Even a cheese eating mouse could lift a moist paw and tell which way the wind was blowing on this one.
DUH!
As they say: “This needs to go viral.”
i’m not a doc but it was the first thing i thought of.
and i got a bunch of grief from knobs here about it.
Finally, an adult speaks up. She makes a lot of sense.
Would love to see her heading up the CDC.
I think in the end, President Obama will have to announce that anyone from western Africa and/or anyone who lived in western Africa for a fairly long period of time will be strictly prohibited from boarding any airline flight to the USA. Given Ebola’s very high fatality rate, such an announcement will not be surprising.
I’m wondering if the airlines can be petitioned directly to refuse travel with anyone from the affected countries since the government plans to do nothing.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Suspending the issuance of visas for those from the involved countries is only a start, but it would be a darned good one. They are running here in hopes of getting a cure without concern for what damage is done on the way.
What's more important? Liberia's economy or the lives of millions of Americans???
Bring Out Your Dead
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...
Hardheaded realism meets leftist-libertarian ideology.
PING!
Won’t work. They’ll just fly into Mexico and walk across the border.
bump to the top...
