WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama plans to dramatically boost the U.S. effort to mitigate the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, including greater involvement of the U.S. military, people familiar with the proposal said. Mr. Obama is expected to detail the plan during a visit Tuesday to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, these people said. Among the possible moves: sending additional portable hospitals, doctors and health-care experts, providing medical supplies and conducting training for health workers in Liberia and other countries. Mr. Obama also is expected to urge Congress to approve the request he made last week for an additional $88 million to fund his proposal.

The US military used to break things and kill evil people. Now it is a force for good. Kind of a peace corp with guns.
Will they enforce quarantines or be involved in active patient care?

Let's rotate our troops through the hot zone and return them unquarantined to CONUS!
The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need
a bigger cart!
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...

Something about the words “Obama” and “Offensive” in the same headline make me think I’m not going to like this.

This is part of a brilliant strategy. He’s going to get out military infected with ebola just before sending them to attack ISIS, thus spreading ebola to ISIS and wiping them out one jihadi at a time. Brilliant except that now the whole friggin Muzzie world will spread this disease.

Lemme guess.....
It starts out by proclaiming that Ebola is not really the true disease Ebola.
Or - This Ebola is just the JV Ebola.
