Except the flu kills the old and the weak for the most part. (The CDC page states that > 90% of flu deaths are of people 65+)

Ebola kills otherwise healthy people.

I support the new mandatory quarantines in NY/NJ. If you want to risk your life helping some turd world country, that's your business, but don't bring that shit back here.

These health care workers are trying to help fellow human beings. Ebola is very difficult to get. If you have no symptoms, you are not contagious.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

Sometimes I have a crazy idea that makes sense.

Why not have Ebola quarantine and hospitalization on Guantanamo . Army can set up a field hospital in days, if not hours ?

Or should I go back on my meds ?

Yeah, it's real hard to get, that's why 100s of health care workers catch the disease despite them following procedure specifically designed so they WON'T get it.

Hmm, scared?
Let see, how many Americans have died in this country today. Gotta be thousands. Car accidents, heart attack, gunshot, suicide, cancer ect.
How many americans have died from ebola today?
How many americans have died from ebola yesterday?
How about last week?

Perhaps it's because ebola is almost completely not worth bothering about.

It's been 4 weeks. What do we have? One dead. A handful infected. 6 or so infected and now clear? No exponential rise in infections. No real spread whatsoever, despite the doom speak of people coming in unregulated and going about their day in full public. People came in unregulated, and they went in full public, and it did spread... to not even 10 people.

In the worst of the worst around the world, 10k infected, a good 6k dead.

The total number of deaths from ebola over the course of all of recorded history isn't even a third of the deaths caused by the flu in just the US in just one year.

Tis a good distraction though, innit?

Pretty sure you can't leave this disease unchecked in any populated country. But as long as we keep it under control it will seem as nothing.

Actually, we don't know how many people actually contracted Ebola, since hospitals and doctors have been warned to call it something else or face repercussions. Meanwhile the affected are removed from the hospitals and transported to more discrete locations. We won't know the true numbers until after the election.

I want the Republicans to win as much as anyone does, but a statement like this requires some proof. "Proof" isn't "because Alex Jones said so"...

I think we know the truth--politicians on both sides of the issue made political moves and statements that helped feed the hysteria. They took a deadly disease that can be controlled with reasonable measures and turned it into a political game. Some of the reasonable measures--like considering controlling our borders--were automatically "racist" to some since they would be taken for countries that aren't predominantly white; that racial stupidity (there is a lot of that) is a problem...it isn't race, it's Ebola... The President appointed a Czar but no one has seen him in weeks.

The disease is deadly. The disease is hard to spread. The spread of the disease can be controlled.

No one is disappearing...

http://www.infowars.com/medical-professional-health-authorities-covering-up-ebola-cases-in-u-s/

"A doctor has exclusively revealed to Infowars that health authorities are covering up Ebola cases in the United States and disappearing patients in an effort to avoid hysteria.

James Lawrenzi, DO, who has two clinics in Garden City and Archie, Missouri, appeared on the Alex Jones Show today to warn that the true scale of the situation was being deliberately downplayed. It is important to note that none of these potential Ebola outbreaks occurred at the clinics in which Lawrenzi works.

Lawrenzi said that shortly after the arrival of patient zero – Thomas Eric Duncan – in the United States, he was told by a doctor at Truman Lakewood Medical Center in Kansas City they had taken in a possible Ebola patient who had a high fever and was bleeding out of all his orifices having recently returned from West Africa.


The following day, Lawrenzi was told by the doctor that the patient had “disappeared” against medical advice, but that he wouldn’t have been able to leave on his own given his medical condition.

The day after the patient disappeared, a meeting was called for anyone who had contact with the patient. Doctors and other medical workers were told that the patient had malaria. Lawrenzi also revealed that drug reps from within the area warned over additional possible Ebola cases in the area.

A second possible Ebola patient was then admitted to Research Medical Center in Kansas City the following day but also quickly “disappeared,” with hospital bosses claiming he had typhoid, according to Lawrenzi.

“These patients are disappearing, they’re doing something with the patients and God knows where they’re going,” said the doctor.

Asked why authorities were engaged in an apparent cover-up, Lawrenzi speculated that the CDC was attempting to prevent hysteria, noting that workers at his own clinics had been told not to use the word “Ebola,” just as 911 dispatchers in New York have been banned from using the term, or to reveal any information about a possible Ebola case.

Lawrenzi also revealed that Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), a private operator of health care facilities, had earlier this week removed protective gear and Hazmat suits from local hospitals without replacing it.

“They were told this was so they could have continuity of care for possible Ebola patients,” said Lawrenzi, adding that the real reason was that authorities didn’t want to cause a panic by having medical workers and doctors being seen in protective gear.

Urging people to “stay away from places where there’s large groups of people,” as well as hospitals, Lawrenzi said the situation was “much more serious than they’re letting on.”

“When flu season hits, people are going to be coming into the hospital for flu or Ebola, they’re not going to know what they have….it’s going to be a nightmare, every doctor I’ve spoken with is terrified of this fall,” said Lawrenzi.

“They’re preparing for something,” he added, speculating that the endgame could be medical martial law or the Obama administration’s complete takeover of the medical system." -Source below.

"911 dispatchers forbidden from saying ‘Ebola’ on the radio"

----------------

I'm definitely not a conspiracy theorist, but there's no doubt in my mind that this current administration is downplaying Ebola. They're attempting to cover it up as much as possible, until after the election. Doctors, and even emergency personal in many cities really have been told not to use the word "Ebola" in an effort to prevent hysteria. Here in KC, we really have had a few cases where they didn't call it Ebola, but the hospital was closed, and various people were quarantined.


In many ways, this is like the last election and Benghazi. We were told that it was the result of a You Tube video, not terrorism, all because of the election.
It's the same situation with Ebola.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that the reason we deployed troops was because we have some evidence that it's the result of terrorism.

Maybe they'll send out Hillary to say that it was the result of another YouTube video.

The guy from Africa that died in TX of ebola.
He lived with a family while sick from ebola.
You cant get catch ebola living with an ebola patient.
If there is no transfer of bodily fluids, you cant catch it, even if you live with a sick ebola patient.
Bottom line is this case proves it is very difficult to get ebola, even if you live with a sick ebola patient.

The proofs you gave are all from the same set of sources that like to create hysteria. There are groups like that on both sides. They do us little good because the make the side they are on look like idiots while allowing the other side to deflect from real issues (like Benghazi, the IRS, etc. in the case of this administration) by saying "all they do is look for conspiracies in everything"...

This administration fails miserably at transparency. That was a big promise that everyone on their side likes to forget. None of these scandals would still be in question if they had handled them well and been transparent about it. Some heads would have rolled, because there is something to the main scandals. We just don't know how much there is...

I don't think they are "hiding" Ebola because someone asked another to no broadcast "Ebola" all over the radio each time someone puked in public. I also don't see any real evidence of people disappearing...well, except the guy at the Broncos game.

Has this administration been inept? Once again, yes!

Downplaying? I think having sanitation might be downplaying it a bit. Here's a conspiracy theory: a bunch of people, we'll call them idiots, live in america, and they panic over stupid things. So the leaders appoint a guru of whatever they are crying about to calm them down until they forget about it and go back to eating cheeseburgers and watching TV. Probably too diabolical, more likely the government is bombing quarantined towns and keeping it under wraps, at least until they get re-elected.

The jokes keep coming, but the CDC is in full panic mode after realizing the immediate and powerful reaction to its new flier, as posted on its Web site, that ebola can easily infect through "droplet spread." That specifically includes spray from sneezes and coughs. Wherever those droplets land becomes a source of infection. Just like influenza and many other contagious diseases. The agency is now posting that the fact sheet is being updated and has become unavailable. Many other references to ebola and droplets dot the CDC Web site, sort of like a sneeze or a cough itself. It must take some time to try to get the party line straightened out.

It's all right here.

http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/index.html

Anyway, concerning Flu can infect before symptoms start and even with no symptoms at all. per CDC.

Quote:

[Most healthy adults may be able to infect other people beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Symptoms start 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Some people can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those persons may still spread the virus to others.



The flu kills about 36,000 people a year in the United States, according to the CDC, though the range varies greatly each year. Most deaths are caused by complications from the flu.

The level of paranoia in the United States astounds me. It's quite amazing.

As a member of the general public, you are more likely to die from lightning strikes than Ebola. You are more likely to be killed in an tornado than die from Ebola. And you are about 10,000 times more likely to die in a car accident than die from Ebola.

As a member of the general public, you are more likely to die from lightning strikes than Ebola. You are more likely to be killed in an tornado than die from Ebola. And you are about 10,000 times more likely to die in a car accident than die from Ebola.

One American PERSON has died. One.




Boymimbo,

Here's why many people are afraid. Right now, Ebola is in many ways, like a weapon of mass destruction. We're worried that the fanatic terrorists or liberal whack jobs are going to go on an Ebola infected shit smearing campaign all over Las Vegas, and other populated areas. Spreading the vomit/shit on door handles, etc... It would be very easy for them to infect thousands of people this way. We also don't want to fly with people that could be infected. Unfortunately, we have a very incompetent administration, with zero transparency, so people are afraid. And for a good reason. We're afraid of what could happen. It's called, foresight.

This is a joke, right?
Early Halloween joke?

Either that or you live in a bunker with no human contact.
You have a better chance of dying from the common flu then ebola.
Uh oh, I can picture it now.
Isis terrorists sitting around, one of them mentions that his buddy Abdul is sick with the flu. Terrorist leader, "get Abdul on a nonstop flight to Vegas immediately, he's sick with the common flu, gotta take advantage of this, order him to lick every door handle in sight." lol
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

Influenza is centuries old and has a mammoth infected base, along with hundreds of mutant variations. The same cannot be said for ebola, which people can ignore at their peril. Even the often obtuse Pentagon is ordering mass quarantines.

Really. Ebola has been around for 38+ years, and guess what, there have been no terrorist attempts to weaponize it. The virus has always been available in the public domain. When the direct family of someone who had Ebola doesn't get it, it isn't a particularly viable virus.

The right amount of attention is being paid to it: very little. Your fear and paranoia is exactly what the terrorists and enemies want.

Boymimbo,

I'm sure the Pentagon, CIA, and foreign countries, such as Italy, will be greatly relieved to here you say that.


Not!

Sorry, but the real situation is more serious than you might think. Diplomacy and hugs isn't going to reduce the threat.

Experts: ISIS Could Use Ebola In Bio-Terror Attack Against US

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/10/09/experts-isis-could-use-ebola-in-bio-terror-attack-against-us/

"WASHINGTON (WNEW) – Islamic State of Iraq and Syria terrorists may use “carriers” to spread the Ebola virus as part of a low-tech biological terror tactic, according to national security and health experts.
Capt. Al Shimkus, a retired professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, told Forbes that ISIS/ISIL fanatics may infect themselves with the Ebola virus to use it as a suicide bio-weapon against the West. Shimkus says that the Islamic State terrorists wouldn’t even have to “isolate” the virus, but instead could send a few operatives into an Ebola outbreak region and intentionally expose themselves to the rampant virus."


"May 2013, Amanda Teckman, author of the paper “The Bioterrorist Threat of Ebola in East Africa and Implications For Global Health and Security,” wrote that “The threat of an Ebola bioterrorist attack in East Africa is a global health and security concern, and should not be ignored.”
On Tuesday, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told Fox News that “at least ten ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas.” He echoed August comments by Gen. Martin Dempsey that the U.S.’s open southern border posed an “immediate threat” to national security.
On Thursday, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the Ebola outbreak is unlike anything he’s since the AIDS epidemic.
“I would say that in the 30 years I’ve been working in public health, the only thing like this has been AIDS,” Frieden said before the heads of the United Nations, World Bank and International Monetary Fund, according to AFP. “We have to work now so that it is not the world’s next AIDS.”

"Unlike smallpox, which is hard to come by, the Ebola infection is raging right now in parts of Africa where Islamist extremists could have easy access. As physician Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute points out, with Ebola, “Mother Nature has created the perfect bioweapon in many respects, as long as the attacker has suicidal aspirations.” Ebola has up to a 21-day incubation period — more than enough time for terrorists to infect themselves and then come here with the virus. In a nightmare scenario, suicide bombers infected with Ebola could blow themselves up in a crowded place — say, shopping malls in Oklahoma City, Philadelphia and Atlanta — spreading infected tissue and bodily fluids.

Or, the virus could also be released more subtly. Terrorists could collect samples of infected body fluids, and then place them on doorknobs, handrails or airplane tray tables, allowing Ebola to spread quietly before officials even realize that a biological attack has taken place." -Source http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/marc-thiessen-a-dark-winter-of-ebola-terrorism/2014/10/20/4ebfb1d8-5865-11e4-8264-deed989ae9a2_story.html

"Big Whoop." Right?

Do you think, just maybe, that the reason many officials are worried right now is because they have some intel or just a bit of foresight?

It's why Obama has been reported to be as
angry as he's even been at the cabinet
meeting last week. He was almost raving,
he was so mad. They know this Obola
thing will keep low info people from going
to the polls because of close contact with
other people there. It was the Obama staff's
job to underplay this to the point of it
not even existing and it backfired on them.
That's why the CDC chief and the new czar
have disappeared off the face of the earth.
They can't answer questions if nobody can
find them.

This nurse in Maine is doing more harm than
good by not going into quarantine. She's on
the news everywhere and people don't like
it. They hear the word quarantine and
they get scared. People are pretty dopey
and they don't trust the gov't anyway. It
will for sure make for a low dem turnout
at the polls in some places.

You would need more than simple country bans to prevent people from entering to do such things. They discover tunnels from Mexico all the time, just for starters. Drug smugglers even use submarines.

Aside from the fact you could probably mail the disease in, and infect volunteer terrorists.

I assume you're ready to spend big tax dollars. Nothing will come cheap for that type of security.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

You can see another reason why public officials are so worried about the flood of illegal immigrants.
