Who? Me?
I’m reading articles that hospitals have to turn people away ... There is no room.
And that people just don”t go to the hospital, they’d rather die at home
As long as it’s a sourdough panini with stoneground mustard and the bat meat is extra rare.
:~)
Mmmmmm. Bat meat: ‘Chicken of the Cave’.
And that’s where Obama is sending the soldiers to die. Osama bin barack will kill more than Bin Laden
And also account for the kids dead due to his illegal importation. The filthy illegals are killing America. Do I need emphasis? They are KILLING America!
The world needs to quarantine the entire area and let the disease burn itself out.
I know it sounds inhumane, but this is a very dangerous plague. Better to shoot a few people trying to escape than allow the disease to become established in a city like Lagos with millions in close proximity, then start spreading across the globe.
Spent a lot of time last August reading articles from the local press, as the epidemic had already created a hot zone, and the chief stories out of Monrovia were about graft, aid monies from Europe and the U.S., public and private charity, re-directed, so to speak.
It's a going concern, as the British say, a veritable industry.
The big story in Monrovia, other than the Ebola wake-up call, was President Sirleaf's intention to fire those of her cabinet and to anathematize those in the Senate there who had already fled the country with no return tickets. I'm given to understand, without confirmation, that most of these folks returned, perhaps after the Europeans lifted their commercial air embargoes.
Trying to get news out of Guinea or Sierra Leone next to impossible, like calling "Information" in Moscow.
Or, to put it like Barry Farber used to, "In Moscow, when you call Information, you'd better have some."
It seems of all the West African nations Liberia is the one seriously dropping the ball here.

Ping.
For your reading pleasure.

Bring out your dead . . .
PING!
Africa wins again.
Gee - are they telling us that these backwater cesspools that cannot contain Ebola are also incapable of tracking the true extent and providing good statistics? Did anyone tell Obama and the CDC?
stay away from BUSHMEAT
Is BATMEAT the national delicacy of Liberia? BTW these Ebola carrying fruit bats live in caves that have their feces dropping on the cave floor and getting quite deep. A perfect breeding ground of Ebola

Super sized with a side of flies.
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...
