Uh oh, ebola will run rampant in a 4th world nation like Baltimore.

Que. the Ebola Panic!

Today there is one person with Ebola and tomorrow there will be two people with Ebola and the next day there will be four people with Ebola.

That means that in 30 days, more than a billion people will have the Ebola!

A few days ago, a person in NJ had died from Lassa Fever after returning from W. Africa. The two diseases exhibit similar symptoms.

Don't let FR fade away!

40+ murders in May and now Ebola! Great place to visit!

[RipSawyer]

And in ninety days 933.72billion people will have Ebola! Or is it 933.72 trillion? I never was very good at rifmatick.

Drop the lunacy.

The rate of increase for this disease is e^(0.28*x)

Yeah, they tried that last time. There were a few here on FR that kept saying how bad it “could” be. But it became more and more clear it was a third world problem. And still is.

How many Americans have been killed in traffic accidents since this story broke?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The person was collected by emergency personnel wearing hazmat gear near the intersection of West North Avenue and Maryland Avenue around midday Sunday, according to a police report.

Are they saying this dude was out in PUBLIC???

There is no danger to the public at large.

The usual canned statement, sorta like no structurally deficient highway bridge is presently dangerous, etc.

Maryland "Freak State" PING!

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

Ping.

OK, in 74.01 days then.

I know the left wants chaos, but the mayor knows the violence and high murder rate is making her and the left look bad. Is this the mayors way to get people off the streets and curb the violence?

[tbw2]

I think it is fair to say we don’t want EITHER disease in the US.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Great. I was in downtown Balto Friday not too far from the dreaded North Ave.

I was afraid of random racist shootings. Guess I should’ve been worried about their Ebola.

[samtheman]

Maybe Baltimore can become an ebola drop zone. With a wall around it, of course, and the entire route 95 through the city will have to be encased in a tunnel with no exits and no on ramps. Or just re-route 95 around Baltimore.

[A CA Guy]

The President would blame the police and all white people if it did come to the USA.

Emergency workers in hazmat gear visited a Baltimore neighborhood Sunday

Why the hell would they go in there without police protection...and where would they go to get that?
