The Philippines on Thursday urged hundreds of its citizens to leave Ebola-hit west African nations, as it announced anyone who returned would be placed under a 21-day quarantine.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said the government had made a "voluntary repatriation" call to about 900 workers in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

He told a local television network that President Benigno Aquino III had also ordered those who did return would have to be isolated in a government facility.

"The president has asked us to come down with a ruling, anyone coming from those countries, they must undergo a 21-day quarantine," del Rosario said.

With 10 million Filipinos working abroad, the country is "very vulnerable" amid the outbreak of the killer disease, del Rosario said...

Sheriff Joe arpaio could team up with Mayor Duterte and clean up America in six months.

You are correct sir. Duterte is very popular with the the people of Davao City, because of his no nonsense law enforcement attitude. He loves to have all the foreigners living here too, because they spend their money here, and he really gets angry if the locals mess with the foreigners. It is not even a well kept secret, that some have "allegedly" been found floating in the Davao River. The people understand this quite well.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

One worker in Guinea, Kaci Montoya, was heard to say that she would refuse to abide by the national quarantine upon returning home.
