October Surprise.

"I became aware of this horrible disease on CNN..."

"Let me be clear..."

"Infected Africans will NOT be the only folks to die of Ebola..."

"Not even the CDC could predict the advance and movement of Ebola..."

Jeeeesssshhhhhh !

Unbeknownst to them, you knowingly helped carry an infected pregnant woman around a few days before.

Clearly, if you respond with a truthful answer, you will be required to stay there until you likely die, or will have to pay a large bribe.

Do you a) admit your contact and stay, or b) lie and fly to Country A, where you can infect your fellow travellers, people at the airports you stop at, and your friends and family once you arrive, but have access to a world class medical facility for your care?

Note: We should have already stopped allowing flights from, or connecting from West Africa, and people who have been in a nation with an ebola problem, for the duration of this outbreak.

The Obama Adminstration has repeatedly refused to close the door.

Why?

Absolutely on target.

But why? A: Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans testicles.

Every roll-out associated with our Windbag- and-Chief has the hallmark of piss-poor planning without benefit of leadership. He has no skillset, there is no value added.

We have just begun to see the horror of what Ebola will be in the next several years or what this will portend when viewed as an effect on our country's readiness.

As for his "legacy"? Before his tour of duty is over Obama is going to wish he was Hoover!

And now we hear from race whore Louie, Now we hear rhe facts!!!

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation if Islam, is warning his acolytes that Ebola and AIDS were created by the US government to "depopulate" the world's black population.

In a new missive, Farrakhan wrote that Henry Kissinger created a plan in 1974 to kill black people and now Ebola and AIDS are weapons being used to fulfill that policy.

Farrakhan told followers that Kissinger said in 1974: "Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the Third World."

Farrakhan went on to claim that "bio-weapons such as Ebola and AIDS" are "targeting weapons" that have been loosed by the "forces of Satan" to kill blacks both in the USA and abroad.

Now, the 1974 study that Farrakhan cites was titled "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for the United States Security and Overseas Interest." However, this study was not "written" by Henry Kissinger. He was merely the man overseeing the effort to study world population growth that Nixon assigned to the Secretaries of Defense and Agriculture, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Deputy Secretary of State, and the Administrator of the Agency for International Development.

The study was controversial because it suggested that the US should adopt a policy of urging abortion and family planning on Third World nations to help keep in check unstable revolutions abroad. It was a policy briefly implemented by President Ford in his foreign policy but was ended in 1980 when Ronald Reagan became President. Reagan halted the policy, working with the Catholic Church to end US support of abortion abroad.

While "The Kissinger Report" was controversial, one must remember that in the 1970s, a trendy line of thinking warned that the world was about to become dangerously overpopulated. Many western governments were frightened and tried to find solutions to the problem. In 1968, environmentalist Paul Ehrlich had only just published his highly influential--and now thoroughly debunked--blockbuster book The Population Bomb, a book that warned of the deaths of billions by starvation due to overpopulation.

This Third World abortion policy plan was declassified in 1989 and is now available for anyone to read online, so it is hardly a secret.

In his very next paragraph, Farrakhan quickly segues to a discussion of another policy paper, this one by the Neocon group The Project for a New American Century. This white paper, titled "Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century," explains that warfare in the future might include bio warfare. In fact, it warns that there may be bio weapons in the future "that can 'target' specific genotypes"--in other words, designer weapons that will kill only particular types of people.

The PNAC report additionally noted that warfare in the future might also be waged in cyber-space and maybe even in outer space. So, the PNAC paper is an exploration of things that might be and how we might defend ourselves against these changes in warfare, not one suggesting that bio warfare is a good idea nor one suggesting that we create weapons that can kill specific types of people.

Regardless, Farrakhan takes this policy white paper from the PNAC--which has no force of law or policy in the US government--and links it with a defunct abortion policy idea from over three decades ago and voila: Ebola was manufactured to kill blacks.

Just doing Gods work or candidates for the Darwin Awards....I don't know.

An American freelance cameraman working for NBC News in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola and will be flown back to the United States for treatment.

The infected freelancer was hired Tuesday to be a second cameraman for NBC News Chief Medical Editor and Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman. Snyderman is with three other NBC News employees on assignment in Monrovia, reporting on the Ebola outbreak.

Nor is it possible to send Ebola through the mail like anthrax. Whereas anthrax is a bacteria that can be transmitted via powder, Ebola is unlikely to live outside a host. “I don’t know that the virus can even survive in the mail,” says Schaffner.

First he say it is not possible to send Ebola through he mail, but by the end he hedges with 'I Don't know'.

Schaffner also believes it’s doubtful that an ISIS soldier could start an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. The most likely way to spread Ebola would be for an infected fighter to head to an emergency room without telling anyone he’s carrying the disease. That could potentially spread the virus to health care workers, Schaffner says, but even that scenario is far-fetched. Ebola symptoms can surface after just a couple days. By the time a would-be martyr reached the U.S., he’d probably be too ill to make it past customs. “Once the serious symptoms begin, the patient typically becomes too incapacitated and cannot go further,” Chow points out.

Based on the fact that in less than a month from the time that article was posted Thomas Eric Duncan made to the US from Liberia.....it is now been proven a Ebola carrier can indeed make into the US.


I am not worried about contracting Ebola....well not until I see the folks running the show, then it becomes a scarey proposition...this whole thing about Ebola (actually it is pretty much everything Zero touches) in the US like a tragic comedy and none of the so-called Highly educated have a lick of f-ing common sense.

I heard a guy on the radio say today in regards to the Ebola Response.....I am watching a parade of lies!

Meanwhile back in Sierra Lione. Ane the US still honors Visas?

Five people are being infected with Ebola every hour in Sierra Leone and the rate is expected to double by the end of October, the Save the Children charity has warned.

Justin Forsyth, the chief executive of Save the Children charity, said on Thursday that "the scale of the Ebola epidemic is devastating and growing every day".

"We need a coordinated international response that ensures treatment centres are built and staffed immediately," Forsyth said.
Infographic: Just how deadly is Ebola?

The charity issued the appeal as Britain hosted a conference in London to gather support for the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leone, its former colony.

Britain has provided 143 new treatment beds so far and promised almost 600 more in the coming months, but Save the Children said other countries must join the fight.

There were an estimated 765 new cases last week, the charity said, but only 327 beds across the country.

The number of cases was likely to be "massively" under-reported, as "untold numbers of children are dying anonymously at home or in the streets", it said.

"We are facing the frightening prospect of an epidemic which is spreading like wildfire across Sierra Leone, with the number of new cases doubling every three weeks," said Rob MacGillivray, the charity's country director in Sierra Leone .

"It's very difficult at this stage to even give accurate figures on the number of children who are dying from Ebola, as monitoring systems cannot keep pace with the outbreak."

Let's see, ISIS and ebola.
ISIS draws recruits from all over the world...
Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?

Let's "sponsor" a dozen or two disenfranchised youth from West Africa to go to al-sham land and help build the caliphate. It just "so happens" they carry the zaire strain. I heard the healthcare system in Syria and Iraq is not well-versed in decontamination and containment protocols.

"Ebola outbreak in ISIS camp"
How many of you want to see this headline all over MSM?

[The Reaper]

Let's see if this brings it closer to home, especially for the politicians who could / should address it.

Of course they are asymptomatic, the incubation period for ebola has not been reached yet.

I think those who choose to go stand in a fire can expect to be burned, and should not be allowed to enter my house while still ablaze.

But that's just me.

Patient Being Tested for Ebola at D.C.'s Howard University Hospital
Patient had traveled to Nigeria recently; is being isolated and tested

Howard University Hospital has yet to confirm whether or not the patient is infected. The patient had traveled to Nigeria recently.
Friday, Oct 3, 2014 • Updated at 12:54 PM EDT

A patient with Ebola-like symptoms is being treated at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., a hospital spokesperson confirmed late Friday morning.

The patient had traveled to Nigeria recently.

That person has been admitted to the hospital in stable condition, and is being isolated and tested. The medical team is working with the CDC to determine whether the patient has Ebola.

"In an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient," said hospital spokesperson Kerry-Ann Hamilton in a statement. "Our medical team continues to evaluate and monitor progress in close collaboration with the CDC and the Department of Health."

Hamilton did not share further details about the patient, citing privacy reasons, but said the hospital will provide updates as warranted.

The D.C. Department of Health released a statement shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday, saying that the department has been working with the CDC and Howard University Hospital to monitor "any patients displaying symptoms associated with the Ebola virus."

There are no confirmed cases of Ebola in D.C., said the statement.

As public health advocates had warned, the raging Ebola outbreak in West Africa has begun to affect Westerners, though the disease is difficult to spread casually.

Thursday, news broke that a freelance NBC cameraman covering the outbreak in Monrovia, Liberia had tested positive for Ebola after experiencing symptoms of the disease.

The cameraman, Ashoka Mukpo, had been working with chief medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman. NBC News is flying Mukpo and the entire team back to the U.S. so Mukpo can be treated and the team can be quarantined for 21 days.

Snyderman told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that she and the rest of her crew have shown no signs of the disease and have taken precautions while covering the outbreak, including washing their hands with bleach.

The crew are quarantining themselves as a precaution.

Ebola is contagious only when infected people are showing symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People who have been exposed to Ebola will show signs of it within 21 days of exposure, the CDC said.

"There is no risk to people who have been in contact with those who have been sick with Ebola and recovered, or people who have been exposed and have not yet shown symptoms," said Dr. Thomas Frieden of the CDC.

On Tuesday, the CDC confirmed the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the United States. The patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, flew from his hometown of Monrovia, Liberia, and through Brussels, Belgium on Sept. 20 before entering the United States via Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia. He then traveled on to Dallas-Fort Worth.

Duncan, a Liberian man with family in the United States, first went to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Sept. 25 but was sent home. He returned to the hospital via ambulance Sunday.

On Friday, he was listed in serious but stable condition.

You know, when I finished 300F1 and continue to this day teaching First Responder training. I learned and bring up for others to understand that:

Signs - are objective they are something you can see, touch or feel. They are real and can be definitive.

Symptoms- are subjective they are the "clueless" ramblings of a sick patient trying to describe how they feel inside.

I'm glad the good Doctor Freiden, of the CDC knows the difference between someone telling him he has a fever, diarrhea, and vomiting and utterly "feels" like shit, and someone who actually has a fever, diarrhea and vomiting and some funky virus crawling around in his blood stream.

[The Reaper]

What happens when you are showing symptoms, and the doctor or hospital sends you away anyway?
