88 million here....88 million there...

pretty soon yer talkin some real money

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Absurd.

[Monkey Face]

He’s up in the night. Idiocy.

[dead]

Ooops, I thought he was promoting a Major Ebola Offensive to some big position within the military hierarchy.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping…

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

[buckalfa]

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?

Millions for disease but not one cent for border security!............................

Why post articles that we can’t read, because we don’t own a subscription?

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.

[Texas Eagle]

Great. A red line against Ebola.

Sorry, Africa, but you're screwed.

[OrangeHoof]

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.

[shibumi]

Lemme guess.....

It starts out by proclaiming that Ebola is not really the true disease Ebola.

Or - This Ebola is just the JV Ebola.

[RinaseaofDs]

He’s going to talk it to death, like he does everything else.

If he had any balls, he’d be circling the wagons right now.

He’s got four months before this becomes something they will write about in history books.

In January, based on official numbers, there will be 100,000 open cases. It’s doubling every month.

The report said they’ll be dealing with this for 12 to 18 months.

That’s hilarious, because if that is true, given the interventions and cases/death ratio currently, in 18 months, the open case rate will be in the tens of millions, if not 100’s of millions - conservatively.

This is assuming:

1. No vaccine.
2. No serum.
3. The idiot keeps our borders open to all comers.

If there are 6000 open cases by Oct 1, then it confirms what I’m saying here. The cases are roughly doubling every 30 days - conservatively. The data shows a doubling rate of 25 to 28 days, actually. WHO keeps revising its numbers, even after posting them.

Nonetheless, go back to May, look at the trend, and the trend is doubling cases every month.

Submarine duty, and Arctic weather station duty, never looked so good.

[silverleaf]

maybe he’ll do for ebola what he’s done for the American economy, world stability and US national security

heads up!

[arthurus]

When we consider Obama's political and religious orientation and the nature of his attempts to radically transform America then we must consider that it is possible that his Offensive will be the importation of Ebola via infected medical staff and soldiers that are sent to Africa on the certainty that some will contract the disease. When a certain few die and are heavily publicized then a widespread demand will be ginned up to bring our boys and girls home. They will be brought home and some will be infected unawares. Others showing symptoms will be whisked off to secure facilities for treatment but some will be sent out into the population.
It is possible, considering recent history.

[Slyfox]

Regarding Obama's past record, if he says he wants to work on something we need to determine beforehand that he will end up doing the opposite of what he claims.

So, what Barry wants is even more people getting Ebola.

And, he needs to have 88 million in order to do accomplish his goal.

[DannyTN]

Yeah, but 88 million is a drop in the bucket compared to what we would be spending if the epidemic gets a foot hold in the U.S.

Once the epidemic hits an area, commerce pretty much shuts down. That means no tax revenue, and a lot more people seeking government assistance.

This is a good move on the part of Obama. It’s late. The WHO has been criminally negligent in responding to this crisis.

[catnipman]

“health workers and epidemiologists have been physically attacked or run out of villages by angry or frightened locals. Some locals argue that Ebola is a bioweapon seeded by the West.”

That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the situation there regarding this epidemic.

[DannyTN]

[Lazamataz]

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.

....and every penny will be used to transport more illegal immigrants into America.
