As usual, Obama is too late to accomplish anything.
It’s a shame. Not the my opinion means anything to our feckless leader, but sending our troops was the only decision of his in 7 years that I agreed with.
Too bad thousands died as he fiddled. He will meet them again as they line his motorcade to hell.
Prediction #2: There will be another Ebola outbreak in 2 years, and the US will rush to create entirely new structures to treat the patients.
Prediction #3: The new structures will be completed and ready to serve patients shortly after the next outbreak ends.
I’ll have to go check the old Ebola threads, but I’m pretty sure that almost all of the troops are dead, and they brought back Ebola to America which wiped out between 50% and 90% of our American population.
Or something.
They are probably empty because Ebolo snuck those infected into the US.
This article does not square with the numbers being reported by WHO for the three West African countries where the Ebola outbreak is most prevalent.

These numbers show continued exponential growth. Granted, the rate of increase has slowed in relationship to data posted from preceding months, but it has NOT stopped.
The current trendline based on the past 30 days of data shows that the case count is growing by just under five tenths of one percent per day. That may not seem like much, but it means about 50 to 100 new cases per day. I estimate the current count of persons with active infections to be in the neighborhood of more than one thousand.
Someone is lying - either The Washington Post or WHO.
I do NOT believe The Washington Post.
Obama has fought and defeated Ebola , D’oh
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...
Wuh?
You mean I was right?
We wouldn’t be talking about Ebola in 2015 because segmentation, Quarantine and something called hydration actually work?
And it’s not airborne and requires a specific transmission method?
What do I know?(rhet)
And to think, Freepers were calling me a fool.
Glad to hear it.

Turn away for a few hours and the whole shebang will be stripped down to the dung beetles.
fades? they’re still reporting 75-100 new cases per day
Too little too late, like everything we see from Obama. If these had been built a year ago many lives could have been saved.
And the jungle will grow over it and nothing good will ever come from it except to the natives who stripped everything of value from it and traded it for guns so they could join Boko Haram. Something like that.
Well, unless these are paper shelters, maybe they will be useful for the next outbreak.
