Cordoned off from the city, young men in West Point squeeze together in dense lines for rice and water, pushing and shoving, sweat mixing, saliva flying, blood sometimes spilling. One morning, a man in a wheelchair trying to cut to the front was beaten, stripped and left sprawled in the middle of the road, urinating over himself.
Uh-Oh.

Well, according to the UN and other NWO agencies you have nothing to worry about. Their predictions are that the disease will run its course in 6 months or so. Just guessing, but large swaths of Africa will be decimated and the EU countries should be able to step in and seize all natural resources.

This article stated that the West Point quarantine is supposed to be lifted in 21 days. Huh? Do they really think all will be well after that time frame. If anything, the disease will have been even more widespread.

Yep, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if Patient A is infected on Day 1, then when he infects patient B on Day seven of his(A’s) illness, and then Patient B develops symptoms on Day 12 of his own exposure and infects Patient C who develops symptoms on Day 7 of his own exposure that it will just keep on like a chain of dominoes in so many different directions. Danger for many, many more days than just twenty one.
Why are those in power not smart enough to extrapolate this? Or are they, and maybe they want to toss the hoi polloi a bone just to make it look like they are making some effort to contain the spread of the disease.

I heard on the radio that the CDC is expecting 20K US cases.

They are smart enough IMO. They either don’t care or aren’t willing to expend any political capital to do anything.

Watch China. China would love Africa’s natural resources.

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...

What I read on a news crawler was that the African disease rate was estimated to possibly go to 20K. I would want to see a corroborative and credible source before I believed what you heard on the radio.
Just sayin’......
