I think what frightens me most is what I read on Free Republic. I had hoped that this section of the general population would be the brightest and most farsighted of all. I have been following the Ebola story since March. The reports and links to reliable sources about the nature of Ebola and the growth of the outbreak have been clearly reported.

Yet, here we sit on a bright Sunday Morning, trying to educate morons that have not bothered to spend a few hours of their lives to educate themselves on what is fast becoming a world devastating disease.

For those in denial or wishing for information, I have a proposal. First go to the following link. It was started in March, devoted to the Ebola outbreak.

Don't skip ahead..read it from page one just as you would read a mystery novel. You will see the failure of WHO, the failure of Politicians, but most of all, you will see the failure of ordinary humans. It is very easy to say “We are a civilized culture”. “It would never happen here.”

We are human. We would have “Runners”.

There would be no need to declare Martial Law. By the time it was needed, it would be to late.

Finally, after you read it. Go down to your nearest large Hospital and spend a few hours sitting in their ER. In fact, better yet, finish reading while sitting in the ER. When you get to page 135, take out a small bottle of Tabasco, or other hot sauce to your liking and spread a few drops across your fingertips.

Within 15 minutes, your eves, or nose will be on fire. Welcome to Ebola!

Of course, this is America. Your chances of survival may be much higher than 50/50. GOOG LUCK!

Thanks for the link to that Pandemic Flu Information Forum. I was aware of Flu Trackers, but not this forum. I will bookmark it. Do you know of any other such forums?

I share your concern over some of the posters at FR. I like to think that Americans would respond better to a potential epidemic situation than some illiterate superstitious Africans... but that is not the case. I’m afraid that many of my fellow Americans would respond exactly as many of the Africans.
