No. The most terrifying thing about Ebola is that we have to rely upon Obama to protect us from it.
"The day of reckoning may be near. Why do you think we (US) are sending command and control? What the article does not expound on is that if we get to those much larger numbers the current response is not scalable. At some point, probably now already we need to focus on enforcing quarantine between populations that are capable of managing incursions and those that are not, ala epidemic scenario. And with half survive with immunity, we need to prepare for those infected populations once stabilized because those left alive are immune, now possess a potential WMD. "

and anybody, don’t mock it. they turned to tobacco extracts to save a few people from this. enhanced natural stuff can be an option when the experts say we can’t treat it, just give supportive therapy.
The most terrifying thing to me about Ebola is that the incompetent morons running the U.S. “Government” think it is no worse than a case of the sniffles while the dumbass in the White Hut is going to send the Army to “fight” against it? WTF?!
If anyone is planning on it’s government to stop this, they are delusional.
This is the time to prepare. It is the time to talk. It is time to explain to all family members what is going on, and how we deal with these things.
Americans are all about inclusion and fairness these days. They have no idea how unfair and indiscriminate a virus can be. We have not faced a brutal enemy on our homeland in centuries.
If this show us, it will teach a lesson to our children that will dwarf the stories of the Greatest Generation.
Many here a convinced we are immune to the crap the rest of the world faces. They are wrong. Let’s assume we can keep the death rate of Ebola to just 1/5th of it’s current rate. That’s still 10% of all infected.
So, if half the people are infected, and 10% of them are killed! we are still looking at 15,000,000 deaths in the US.
Crazy stuff, huh?
I was channel surfing Friday afternoon and landed on The Doctors, a medical talkshow. They were talking about the Ebola outbreaks, US troops, and the potentiality for Ebola to transform and become airborn.
They didn’t offer any solutions, but they seemed scared that a potential pandemic outbreak could occur in the US, due to the openness of travel in and out of the country.

SARS, Y2k, and Bird Flu have scared me. AIDS, never, easy to avoid, if you want to.
Ebola is pretty nasty...I would guess that maybe 3% of the people on this forum and 0.03% of the country have ANY IDEA what kind of powers the government can, and will, grab, in the name of public health. Just be prepared, because those that are not are not going to have a very fun ride through this.
The most Terrifying Thing About Ebola is the comments by many of the FR’s own Ebola Experts.
Bug chasing:
NOT just for homoz anymore...!
THe kill rate is :
30% survival with trained medical practitioners, saline (already in short supply), electrolites, and medications.
10% survival rate with home care
Since medical installations are already overwhelmed, they already turn away 30% those that show up at hospitals, or medical facilities.
Turning away victims is a death sentance for either the infected , or their immediate families who care for them , and will contract the disease.
There are some interesting numbers in the analysis behind that link.

Just the latest CIA trick to do in all them negros.
To go along with crack and AIDS.
More than most other pandemic diseases (malaria, cholera, plague, etc.) and more than airborne diseases (influenza, swine flu, H5N1, etc.) that are transmitted indiscriminately through the air, this disease is passed through very minute amounts of bodily fluid. Just a slip of contact with the infected party and the caregiver herself can be stricken.
But imagine: You are a parent whose child has suddenly come ill with a fever. Do you cast your child away and refuse to touch him? Do you cover your face and your arms? Stay back! Unclean! Or do you comfort your child when he asks for you, arms outstretched, to make the pain go away?
Imagine: You live in a home with five other family members. Your sister falls ill, ostensibly from Ebola, but possibly from malaria, typhoid, yellow fever, or the flu. You are aware of the danger to yourself and your other family members, but you have no simple means to move her, and she is too weak to move herself. What do you do?
Imagine: You are a child of 5 years old. Your mother is sick. She implores you to back away. But you are scared. What you need, more than anything, is a hug and a cry.
Good point.
PING!
