Guinea has closed its borders with Liberia and Sierra Leone to contain the spread of Ebola, which has killed 959 people in the three countries.

The latest outbreak is thought to have begun in Guinea, but Liberia and Sierra Leone are currently facing the highest frequency of new cases.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday the spread of the virus was a global health emergency.

Maybe we can ask Guinea to shut our borders?

Isn’t the world happier now that the US has been diminished and no longer leads thanks to our pretend president?

No person is illegal.

No one with a disease should be made to feel unwanted.

Where is the outrage from the Left?

Mexico does not seem to mind if they will catch it.

Notice how the death toll has been about 1000 for the last few days. Obviously it has increased but no one seems to have a count or no one is talking. Not good either way.

Two third world dumps can shut down and secure the borders...

I think the only thing we can do is to build an endless string of Obamagolf courses along the border.

I've said for a couple weeks now I think the toll of dead is far above 2K. Who the heck knows what is going on out in the bush? Liberians are tossing their dead family members out in the streets without ID. Thus avoiding quarantine, which they all fear.

Doctors fear going into rural areas as some have been attacked by natives. This thing is ramping up. Obie will be on this in a couple weeks.

The Samaritan's Purse VP living there in charge in the area gave Congressional testimony Thursday and said he has no idea what the number is either except he thinks the "official" numbers may be only 25-50% of the actual numbers. In reality, he says, most cases are no longer reported as most hospitals are closed and they only have about 50 doctors in the entire country - and some of them have already died of Ebola. They are abandoning the dead in the streets.

It grim, folks. Probably much grimmer than we can imagine.

Our Marxist-in-Chief will probably have to convene a high-level golf game over this.

Maybe a fundraiser, too.

I'm sorry to say that I think you're right about this.
