If you think about it logically (something the gov't isnt good at)...you have to ask yourself: WHY? We have a long history of Ebola outbreaks and the largest outbreak prior to this one was 280 in 1975. All outbreaks combined are less than 1/2 of the current estimate...which is said to be only 25-50% of the real number.

So...WHAT has changed? Why is it different?

Did you know the US government has a patent on Ebola?

Because the previous "bad" outbreaks occurred in small, out of the way villages in Africa where travel was infrequent. It was almost self-quarantine or burned through the community and died off before it could spread outside of the community.

What's different is that it has entered into urban areas with large populations with lots of travel. There is nothing to stop it.

Why is it different?

Prior outbreaks were primarily in smaller towns and villages, and mortality around 90%. With that virility, the virus killed everyone and receded back into the bush.

This time it spread into the cities. More hosts, lower mortality, more “walking wounded,” exposed but not yet ill and able to travel.

Just wait till it hits the slums of New Delhi or Mexico City or Beijing or LA.

Why is this different than previous Ebola outbreaks?

Under Progressivism, we as a nation are much ‘kinder’ and more ‘humanitarian’. We welcome all points of view and do not believe anymore that anything sets us apart from our brothers in the Third World.

For this, thank your ‘religious’ leaders and ‘church councils’ more than anyone else.
