Bring Out Your Dead
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...
Christie is right. The WH is taking this so seriously that two days of fund-raising appearances were cancelled!
I think fatty is going to have more than a few problems in the south.
Christie is propping up Obama and the Dems just before an election, like he did in 2012, allowing Obama to parade around Sandy’s devastation with him right before the election..
One of the incoming processing sites for West Africans is in Newark, NJ at Liberty International.
Christie is the male version of Christine Todd Whitman.
Liberal @ss-kisser of Dems.
Fatboy is keeping his options open in case he has to join the democrat party.
Do not change titles.
FUCC
Eat a doughnut or something, Big Boy.
Come on, let's keep it real. Whatever you think about Christie, He did not say anything about the White House. He said his NJ administration. This is purposely misleading and is usually something the lefties do. Let's not mislead our own. Keep it true to your fellow FReepers.
You corrected the title. Thank you.
Is there a school one attends to become a dumba$$?
Because they seem to be coordinating their efforts?
What is it about irrational behavior which causes it participants to accuse the rational of hysteria?
Weill this odious blob ever stop helping 0zero and Democrats??
“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is urging calm on Ebola, warning elected officials against “stoking hysteria” about the virus.”
In this particular case, a bunch of government officials (Fatty just being the latest) have basically said, “Don’t worry, this is no big deal, we have this taken care of.” Presumably by TOP MEN.
Yet, every single thing that they’ve told us is WRONG! Here’s a list: http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2014/10/welcome-to-oppositeville.html
Further, saying that only 3 people had it in this country (aside from those brought in purposely for treatment) is stupid beyond belief. This kind of “reasoning” (if you can call it that) evidences a fundamental inability to understand 6th grade arithmetic - specifically, exponents. Here’s a better explanation: http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2014/10/risk-assessment.html The operative paragraphs from that analysis appear below:
Because in six months, your new odds may be more like one-in-four-thousand.
In six more months after that, they could be one in sixteen.
And three months after that, 9 out of 10 you’re dead.
Numbers and time aren’t on your side.
We can’t breed people fast enough to get numbers on your side. If the earth’s population doubled, we’d only buy three more weeks at the back end. That’s the power of an R-naught of 2 and logarithmic growth. It’s why Albert Einstein once replied that the greatest power on earth was “compound interest”. Ebola is compounding at a return of 100% for just about every 3 weeks so far.
Just like with fire, you can’t choke it by giving it more fuel. But you can suffocate it, or take the heat away.
Cooling Ebola off requires taking people away from the heat of the virus. And what works for that, since forever, is keeping people away from the virus. Contain it where it is, and keep infected people away from uninfected people. That means absolute isolation, travel bans, and quarantines. It’s the only thing we have right now that works, and it’s also the only thing thing the idiots in charge refuse to consider, with the thoughtless stubbornness of the offspring of horses and donkeys.”
Why? I don’t know, but I suspect that he doesn’t want panic, yet he doesn’t have any trust that if he (or someone else in authority, preferably an infectious disease specialist) actually explains what we know or don’t know, that the average person will understand. That fundamental lack of trust in his constituents is, to me, unforgiveable - as is his failure to LEAD.
Shaddup, fat boi, you worthless Liberal DemocRat.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
I’m not hysterical, you fat lump of sh*t.
You notice how Chris Christie always has Obama’s back.
And, how convenient; a few weeks from election.
But diseases DO kill.
False information by control freaks who use 'panic' as an excuse to lie will be the cause of this disease spreading... Chris Christie needs to get real - this is more important than a bridge closing...
