Exponential: Ebola Cases Now Double Every 3 Weeks; CDC Warns As Many As Half A Million May Be Infected Soon
Since the start of the outbreak, the Ebola virus has infected 5,357 people, killing 2,630, according to the WHO; and as The UN explains, the outbreak is the largest the world has ever seen with the number of cases is doubling every three weeks. As Sierra Leone instigates a 3-day nationwide shutdown to contain the deadly virus, the UN Secretary-General explains "Ebola matters to us all," as we noted previously the odds of the infection coming to America is around 18% by year-end. The CDC, however, hot on the heels of the UN's proclamation that "the gravity and scale of the situation now require an unprecedented level of international action," has warned that unless government intervention is increased significantly, 550,000 people could be infected by the end of January. "Contained?"
As The Secretary General of The UN stated...
The Ebola crisis has evolved into a complex emergency, with significant political, social, economic, humanitarian and security dimensions. The suffering and spillover effects in the region and beyond demand the attention of the entire world. Ebola matters to us all.
The outbreak is the largest the world has ever seen. The number of cases is doubling every three weeks. There will soon be more cases in Liberia alone than in the four-decade history of the disease.
In the three most affected countries – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – the disease is destroying health systems. More people are now dying in Liberia from treatable ailments and common medical conditions than from Ebola.
The virus is also taking an economic toll. Inflation and food prices are rising. Transport and social services are being disrupted. The situation is especially tragic given the remarkable strides that Liberia and Sierra Leone have made in putting conflict behind them.
National governments are doing everything they can. I applaud the courageous actions of the governments, communities and individuals on the frontlines, including local health workers, Médecins Sans Frontières, the International Federation for the Red Cross and Red Crescent and UN entities.
The gravity and scale of the situation now require a level of international action unprecedented for a health emergency.
Sierra Leone has instigated a 3-day nationwide shutdown to try and contain the spread of the virus...
And now the CDC warns, things are about to World War Z...
The Ebola outbreak in West Africacould spread to hundreds of thousands more people by the end ofJanuary, according to an estimate under development by the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that puts one worst-case scenario at 550,000 or more infections.
The report, scheduled to be released next week, was described by two people familiar with its contents, who asked to remain anonymous because it isn’t yet public.
The projection, which vastly outstrips previous estimates, is under review by researchers and may change. It assumes no additional aid or intervention by governments and relief agencies, which are mobilizing to contain the Ebola outbreak before it spirals further out of control in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
“CDC is working on a dynamic modeling tool that allows for recalculations of projected Ebola cases over time,” said Barbara Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the agency, in an e-mail. “CDC expects to release this interactive tool and a description of its use soon.”
A separate worst-case scenario modeled last month by researchers at the University of Tokyo and Arizona State University predicted there would be as many as 277,124 new cases by the year’s end.
That was the high end of their estimate, though the researchers warned that “uncontrolled cross-border transmission could fuel a major epidemic to take off in new geographical areas.”
And as Bloomberg notes, they are going to need more money...
Curbing the outbreak will require investments of $988 million over the next six months, according to an overview of needs and requirements published by the UN.
About 30 percent of what’s needed has come in so far, Nabarro said earlier this week at a briefing in Geneva.
It appears "Moore's Law" has come to Ebol, and $1 billion seems like nothing: half a day's POMO?

I am sorry to tell you this but you have a very optimistic view of the USA health system. I've seen bacteria run rampant in hospitals for thirty years with strong efforts to contain. Hospital patients are discharged and bring their microbes into the community. They touch a door handle, share a drink or hand $20 to a cashier. The interactions are infinite.
I'd like to see ( ok theoretically) what this healthcare system would do with 10 patients with Ebola. If/when there are 1000, the time is way overdue for escape. It is over. Game, set, match Ebola.
Miffed;-)
We'll know more over the next couple of months. I figure that if ebola were to come here it wouldn't be for awhile. By that time, it'll be flu season. Hospitals would be a nightmare unless everyone resists going to the ER for a diagnosis of those fever, cough, general achiness symptoms.
I foresee PSAs telling people how to know when they have the flu. Or a cold. Ending with "So don't go to the hospital; it won't be covered by your Obamacare policy."
Otherwise, I don't see how hospitals keep their staff if there are any cases in this hospital. But I don't think that hospitals are thinking in this direction.
When you use lag-adjusted case fatality rate it is much higher. 80%-85%. http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/estimating-fatality-2014-...
If you do your counting at time x. The people who were just added as cases (x-1) haven't had time to die/recover yet (they are just assumed to be survivors), so they are skewing the curve because it is exponential. About half of the people who have gotten ebola have gotten it in the last 21 days.
From the day you are exposed, if you get ebola you will most likely show symptoms in 7-10 days. If you live 7 days past your first symptoms your survival rate gets a big boost. But they say that most of the people who are going to die, die within 14 days. So you compare todays death rates to the case rate 14 days ago. And then get the lag adjusted case fatality rate.
... sure, but only assuming those numbers are correct/accurate.
The numbers are much higher and this is about to go hockey stick on a mufuka.
I was just thinking. We have around 5,000 cases now, allegedly, and they are saying we could see upwards of 550,000 in 4 MONTHS?
Thats an increase of %10,900 !!!! Or 2,500% PER MONTH!?!?
Does this seem high as fuck to anyone else, or am I missing something?
My estimate, based upon the published case data and the current exponential growth only shows 88,000 cases by the end of January. I think the current situation is much worse than the published data is showing.
I hope those 3000 US troops going into the Ebola hot zone
will be forced into a very long quarantine
outside the US
before returning to the US.
Congress should have rejected funding for that insane plan to fight Ebola with US troops.
Too late? Too late to Impeach Obama for Treason?
Would now require a special session of Congress,
now in recess until after the November election.
Meantime, the Pandemic approaches the coming of the Apocalypse.
I think it is good that America is trying to help. Remember we are a modern first world country and they have bugger all.
lol
Quite the leap of faith in our present government you make there partner.
I'm at a loss as to where to even start with how naive you sound.
A friend of mine said Congress will fix it when it reaches our shores.
I think a lot of it is denial. He's not stupid, but I know other very 'macho' guys that are well aware of what's coming, and they're scared shitless. Especially the guys that are in the medical field and know what's coming.
Impending death by horrible virus will reduce the strongest of people to emotional basketcases.
Of course, ZH readers are so jaded we don't give a shit.
Naw, it'll be the large quantities of coffee, cigarettes and alcohol that our ZH bretheren doubtless consume that will save them.
But seriously, consider MMS, Rife treatment, and even vit C: http://www.healthfreedoms.org/can-vitamin-c-cure-ebola/
Congress, proclamations or Santeria chicken bones won't save your ass, do something real about it for yourselves and your loved ones.

This is the video that convinced me to go into that therapy..and I'm still around, working in construction with heavy hands on equipment post cancer surgery one year ago to date.
I imagine one of the 3000 being sent there without a choice would gladly trade spots with such high-minded individual such as yourself....
A young man who is attracted to the military to defend his country soon finds out why he is really wanted! He is not there to defend any American people! When was the last time US troops defended America or it's people. Imperial wars and was for profit and expansion of US corporate influence is more like it. Now troops who wanted to defeend Amerrica are being sent to Ebola country for no other reason that Obama wants to be seen to be doing something. In fact, he is sending young men to act as vectors to bring EBola back to the USA and start infecting WHites. After all, as it is now, we are being racists by not contracting Ebola. When whites strat be infected then the president will be happy.
A lot of white .01%'ers will be happy, too.
The 'Black Nobility'.
The kind of men who sign up for the marines and combat do not really like being janitors and security guards for slum hospitals in the third world. The stories I hear about military moral are not good.
The War of 1812; when the British tried for Revolutionary war round two; what did I win ?
" trying to help" As in the road to hell is paved with good intentions? I will assume you are really being sarcastic. Shall I enter a lions cage to help the unfortunate keeper being mauled? This will give more food for the lion and do the keeper no good.
May be this is simply the result of too much political correctness and we are now simply divorced from reality. Political correctness is trying to pick up a turd at the clean end.
Miffed;-)
Dad used to say,
" At some point a ship Captain is faced with a 20 man lifeboat,loaded with 40 men. And how would you like to be him? A real leader does what needs to be done, and chooses the most able 20 for survival. Not all men, even those who are in leadership positions, possess what it takes".
When I was 6 I saw a movie called Abandon Ship. It haunted me. I placed myself in the role of the captain and I could not do the right thing. More than 40 years later I still don't think I can.
If this country would do the right thing, this horrible choice would not need to be made if this virus makes it's presence here. It is bad enough it will have to be done in Africa.
Miffed;-)
There is a movie called - Lifeboat. Might be instructive to take a look.
Thats the whole problem. The megalomaniacs making the choices of who should live and who should die are woefully ill equipped to perform such a task.
In the case of our current government, the lifeboat would be filled with yes men, handlers, large campaign contributors, and enforcers.
Meanwhile, the brilliant 20 year old that could one day make cold fusion a reality, will be doing a damn fine real life representation of Leonardo DeCaprio in Titanic.
I think the number is at least partially influenced by the notion that a lot of cases have yet to be reported.
Some of the local Nigerian newspapers - accessible through newsfetchers.com - have some more detailed explanation of how Patrick Sawyer spread this in the beginning days. Pretty alarming stuff, in my opinion.
As a small example, right now 57 members of Liberia's presidential Protection Team are in quarantine due to attending the funeral of one of their late colleagues, an ebola victim who died a few days ago.
I have to think there are potentially several thousands of infected people in that part of the world who are yet to be accurately diagnosed.
You are taking an exponetial curve and dividing it as if it was linear. Four months is 120 days. If ebola cases are doubling every 20 days, that is 6 doubles. 2 to the 6th power is 64. The number of predicted cases after 120 days is thus 5,000 x 64 = 320,000. Less than 550,000 but the duration between doubles would only need to drop to 17 days to hit the 550,000.
You're missing the definition of exponents, for one thing.
Kinda like how of debt grows until your eyes glaze over from the zeros.
Like that, but with bloody assplosions.
Hope that helps.
The kicker is that all along they have said it is under-reported. I think what they are saying is that the current cases are actually between 9000 and 17000, and that gets us to the 550,000 if the doubling time is 21 days.
Today I read a even more unsettling story...
150 PEOPLE DIE IN TRAFFIC ALL OVER THE WORLD EACH DAY!!!
EACH DAY!!!
THAT MEANS TRAFFIC IS ALSO IN AMERICA!!!!
TO THE BUNKERS EVERYBODY!!!! BUGOUT!!!!
Sadly, worldwide humans are croaking at a rate of only 155,000 per day. It's taking forever.
It's a start I guess...
OHH!!! I KNOW ANOTHER ONE!
Yesterday, I caught a spider that was 7 inches in diameter!
Now normally, these kinds of spiders don't live here but due to a to hot summer and winter, those bastards multiply like crazy!
My wife and kids acted like it was world war III and Z!!
i've seen some spiders on isle of palms sc that were so big and had webs so large that they were catching birds.
those are some scary lookin sumbitches
One of our Technicians keeps these as "pets" - http://www.extremescience.com/biggest-spider.htm
His largest is about 25cm across, and she's called Sarah . . . . . .
(Despite the article comment - they do make pretty good, very "easy care" pets, providing you feed them irregularly (mice . . . . .)!
We have lots of tarantulas where I live. Mostly big and lumbering. Not too offensive. I once saw one in my garage and came up with a brilliant idea to scare my daughter who is mortally afraid. I got a jar and a piece of cardboard and tried to scoot him into it. All went well until he was at the mouth and would not enter. I gave him a good push and he launched up, landed on my shoulder and scurried into my hair. Mr came running at the sound of broken glass and my screams. He managed to extricate the fully imbedded spider without me being bit or me going to the hospital with a coronary.
Of course I had to confess my plan and accept the chiding from my daughter for months. I now keep my practice jokes free of living elements.
Miffed;-)
Hmmm. Wasn't it Miffed who was making fun of the guys and our improvised blow torches not that long ago;)
Shit! I forgot about that. Damn, you guys have good memories. (Hangs her head in shameful confession)
The worst part is Mr hates and is afraid of spiders too.
What are you waiting for? Pull it off....pull it off ...OMG why are you just standing there and looking at me?
Give me a sec, I'm trying to see all the repercussions of my various choices.
Miffed;-)
Humans are funny creatures, on our best days;)
I got scary fucked up out there a couple of times before the hurricane wiped out the cool old beach bars. Was it Hugo? Anyhow, was a fun place.
Were you ever hammered enough to see bird eating spiders?
it was cool 35 years ago, now it has a four lane highway and is completely like everywhere else with a beach. seapines was cool 20 years ago, same story.
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot
I hope you mailed it to a Brussels politician in a box.
Yeah; I had great hopes for Aids; but it turned out to another media event.
If the cardboard imitations of Hitler in Washington keep fucking with the Bear, it could up to 15,000,000 a day; overnight. a Night with no darkness, of course.
"Today I read a even more unsettling story...
150 PEOPLE DIE IN TRAFFIC ALL OVER THE WORLD EACH DAY!!!
EACH DAY!!!

TO THE BUNKERS EVERYBODY!!!! BUGOUT!!!!"
Is the number of traffic fatalities doubling every three weeks?
I'd have to agree. If it were airborne, the rate of infection would be in the stratosphere.
And we don't really know if proper diagnostic tests are being done. Those tests take days to run and are undoubtedly as expensive as most medical care.
Being that the affected African countries are so poor, I seriously doubt there's enough money to do proper tests in a fully-equipped lab. So, using deductive logic, it's fair to say that the reported death toll from Ebola might not be entirely accurate.
The best thing to do is to crosscheck the average monthly death toll from other illnesses in these countries against the figures that are being reported now. Then see whether there's been a substantial increase in the percentage of people who have died within the several-month span that Ebola has been affecting the population. That's the only objective way to draw a conclusion that doesn't rely on pure fear as a substitute for facts.
Relax, it just sucks if you're black, live in Africa and don't have access to double padded toilet paper....
I'm relaxed. They over-reproduced and now they have to culled; nothing unusual here.
If it were airborne, the rate of infection would be in the stratosphere.
No joke!
The stratosphere is pretty harsh on aerosolized proteins Hard UV up there.
Al, you have to use your imagination. You would wet your pants if you did it just right.
Exactly, you have to use your imagination. Because we have no facts. none. zero. very good, Mr. nailgun, you nailed it.
I guess the movies conditioned you that it must take 28 days or it's not very contagious. Spanish flu took 2 years to reach full bloodbath potential. But keep watching movies. They MUST be right.
2 years = 4+ billion dead.
Imagine what the survivors will witness.
First thing to go will be the nuke plants - no one left that knows how to accurately repair the cooling systems.
With the inevitable breakdown of the much-adored "Just In Time" delivery strategy, "where's the part I'm looking for"??
Would the unskilled and unprotected even consider working on the "Hot side" of any cooling system? I certainly would be very cautious.
Less traffic jams, and cheaper gas ! And maybe my ex-wife will die !!
Yo, Al, this ain't no soma thang. Imagine a business model with human incubatorz gettin' just right and then they are harvested for their <<whatever stuff that they have, I have no clue>>
All of your greenie friends have no fucking clue with respect to exponential growth. They aren't very green, in fact.
So, since you are in fact clueless (here, not in the general case, I might say)
2k --> now
4k --> 3 weeks
ya get the piktur? (I had to do that cinz u canz du mth}

he might get the point if you explain it in english
Another fucking media event. Including the "give us money and everything will turn out alright". fuck em all, great and small.
Of course. Africans are dying of what they've always been dying of; malnutrition and the accompanying deficient immune system, dysentery, malaria, worms, etc. etc. Or simply; over breeding. A continent full of countries with more humans than they can support.

Gotta love Ebola: The Bio-weapon for Peace-meal WW3*. Obola's E-Troop (Ebola Troops) of 3,000 soldiers is getting combat training for things to come, not to "help". Die Hard with a Vengeance. Bad-a-bing, bad-a-boom.

We got caught up with Alibaba, forgot all about Ebola.
The Federal Reserve thinks thay can print out of this train-wreck?
Ebola in the US will crater demand.
Alibola? Ebolbama? Yo Mama? this is all great stuff, i'm really getting confused as to what is good, and what is bad. i think it's all good.
reminds of tuttie frutti. this would be a lot of fun to work the obala/bama/ebola thing into this.
"A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom!!"
I heard raping a virgin will cure AIDS, maybe it helps curing Ebola as well?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_cleansing_myth
No, the cure is whole blood transfusions from surviving children too young to have STD's.
The harvesting of children has already started in Africa.
Why do you really think so many South American children were rushed in to the US, at the very same time Ebola was being released in those areas in Africa that have the heaviest Chinese financial investment?
They are taking 'blood sacrifice' to a whole 'nother level.
It's worth a try.
lol
Translation; Chances of Ebola coming to the USA by year end is 100% ( not counting the patients brought in on purpose and breaking all disease containment rules ).

It's already here.
Obama has killed more people than Ebola and he got a Nobel Peace Prize so it can't be THAT bad.
That is why Kirk has called him OBOLATM for some time.
You refer to yourself in the third person? Do you realize this is a symptom of mental illness?
Hate to pick on ya, but I gotta be sure, you know he is not really Kirk, right?

Okay, I plead guilty to semantic confusion. my bad.
It's okay to pick on me; I'm not delicate. I don't have any front teeth, most of my knuckles have been broken, twice, and my nose; twice. And that was just from trying to get to school in the morning in Oakland, California.
Well the funding requests are certainly going up exponentially.
$1bn for 5k, and estimated 500k by years end.
Nice little earner you've got there.
I have this recurring scene in my head lately.
A man in his living room with a gun in one hand mercilessly shooting the people that are gathered around him. In the other hand he's screaming into the phone for help, "People are dying here!"
Obama's office?
At least we got rid of Bush......right?
I just wish we had the money back since he left.
There is a lot to that.
Why is a NEW Military grade Tyvek Pro-Tech F chemical suit showing up in my advertising?
I give up; why is it? What do you mean, "your advertising". You don't have Ad-blocker 2. It's an add-on for Firefox browser; no more ads. try it you'll like it; maybe.
200K per sick african... I mean... You could build houses for 500.000 africans with that kind of money over there....
But what strikes me is that those doktors only wear paper "suits" that cost 5 bucks and a mouth mask that costs a buck...
So besides the prive jet and that little kickback from management.... Where's the money going?
Obama did send a field hospital with 20 beds . . .
Okay okay... That's another 5 grand well spend... We're getting there...
Ar15 ammo is expensive, and there are a lot of Africans.
Were do you think all the .22 ammo went? (triple-taps to the temples.)
Where's the money going? Here is a clue - http://www.cfr.org/africa-sub-saharan/corruption-sub-saharan-africa/p19984
It is not exactly rocket science to link the dots, especially in mind of the ever-inventive "Nigerian Prince Money Laundering" scams.
Informally, colleagues who work on the front-line for MSF guesstimate that about 1% of all funding reaches the "intended target".
Just 1%. Think about that. "Your Healthcare Dollars at Work" chimes a little hollow to those who really NEED this funding, to do their volunteer work.

Wonder if any African Americans are getting pissed at Loyd Blankfein yet.
I don't know, but they're sure pissed at Obambam.
Listen.
USSA now has new show called "BLACKISH". It is a show to create Jewish-envy among African-American community. Sub-theme is to worship bankers because they can extend to you "CREDIT" and make you "ALMOST" Jewish.
Those poor African Americans, they are just too ripe for the picking.
yet more fearmongering?....
Of course.
Can I buy shares of ebola. Nice trend with this gift that keeps on giving.

Longevity and mortality derivatives are derivatives products which allow their users to hedge against or gain exposure to “longevity risk”, i.e. business risk relating to mortality rates or increased life expectancy in particular section of a population.
Pension funds, life insurance companies and long-term health care providers for example, use longevity derivatives to hedge against significant increased life or pension liabilities.
On the other hand, because of their low correlations with conventional risks, e.g. market or currency risk, longevity derivatives are consider good, “low beta” hedge for capital market investors.

Have at it!
Nothing will happen until senior politicians start dying.
57 Liberian Secret Service agents have been quarantined after 1 died of Ebola.
Story on FluTrackers:
http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227840
And the one man that died - apparently - was part of the limousine protective service. Getting pretty close to President Sirleaf there.
Didn't he come to the White House recently?
Please, please, please I hope he came in the White House...
So you think him and Obama had, you know, a thing?
We can only hope. Maybe there is Divine Justice.
By that time, everyone else will either be dead, or an Ebola survivor.
Either dead, or a monoclonal antibody non-willing donor.
Any day, we'll all be dead now because of some new virus coming from Africa. Probably because somebody ate some monkey meat. It's unstoppable. We're all dead.
Where have I heard this before?
Hmm. let me see. Oh, right; it was the last time the CDC and the UN wanted a lot of taxpayer money to play with. What did I win ?
"The CDC, however, hot on the heels of the UN's proclamation that "the gravity and scale of the situation."
According to this website, which I have no idea if their information is accurate, the CDC owns the Ebola patent and the rights to any strain 70% similar. NIH and the Gates foundation are the ones sponsoring the drive to vaccination by a company the Bill owns a major position in.
thecommonsenseshow.com
Part of the NWO and the Goldman Sachs gang.
Ive seen this info. Heard about it yesterday. All the information cited is public information and is very much real. EbolaTM is a patented virus, therefore, anyone containing the EbolaTM Virus is now property of the Corporation or Governing entity that owns the patent. Pretty clever I might add, you know if you are into that sort of thing.
Google for 'ebola patent profit'. .gov is going to make a 'killing' off those patents, the more dead the better.
For instance:
'CDC Ebola Patent could earn Billions from a Pandemic'
http://www.whiteoutpress.com/articles/2014/q3/cdc-ebola-patent-could-ear...
Perfect. Not even the National Onion could make this stuff up. As Lenin said, "the Capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them with". Where does the corruption / greed, stop ? It doesn't stop. It's limitless. it's infinite. Infinite mindless greed and corruption. Welcome to the Land of the Free.
Don't feel bad, the CDC has no idea if the information is accurate or not either.

Oh, wait....
Rock N Rolla of Ebola
Obama looks like an Ebola carrier.
He does look like he's rockin' some kind of immune system killer.
He looks like a shoe-shine boy who stole somebodies suit, to me.
Albert A. Bartlett was right when he said: "The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."
Or in context of Ebola, the inability to recognize the lack of exponential growth preached by the fear mongering Western media.
The only thing happening in actuality is - African regions witih poor sanitation witnessing the spread of this one disease at a rate matching every other disease they suffer from under matching conditions. Everywhere else in the world people are safe - protected by proper sanitation and efficient medicine.
I'm already looking forward to the next year's grand disease.
'Proper sanitation and efficient medicine'.
When Ebola shows up, hospital staff will quit en masse. Doctors will go home to their families. Hospitals will fill up quick, and they will become nothing more than places to go to die.
A lot of water workers aren't going to work, either. Fresh water or sewage continuing?
Good luck.
If it gets here, it better get in line after the bird flu, the swine flu, the H1N1, H1N2 etc... oh, and better work fast, cause with the bees dying out we might not even make it. How many years did Einstein give us? It was 4 I believe and the bees had been dying exponentially for 8 out of those 4 years. I mean, we could already all be dead zombies walking around without even realizing it.
Then again, watching the lineups in front of Apple stores, I migh not be far off with that last observation.
I ain't picking up your trash anymore either...stinky bitchez
How many negatively pressurized BL4 "slammers" for the quarantine and treatment of VHFs are there in the US? Not more than a few. Get past a handful of cases and we're SOL.
I'd be satisfied if they could just understand t hat the little "ABC" with the checkmark under it is a spell checker, and if you click on it; it makes you appear literate; which is better than the alternative.
I'm afraid t he exponential function is a bit of a stretch; but please try the little box that says ABC on it; okay? it's fun, and it works.

Perfect. Justice and fairness for all. thanks for the link; I have to go puke now.
at what million mark of patients infected does goldman sachs wholly owned company that CURRENTLY has a vaccine/cure reveal that fact?
I think that would be Bill and Melinda Gates. Goldman has the longevity derivatives.
I don't think you guys on either camp get it. Mortality is 70%, and transmission is horizontal. The only thing stopping it from getting to the São Paulo news is that so far, the villagers haven't had the time o rchance to hide under their urban cousin's bed. Give it some winter (even Africa has one) and all the urbanite queerdom-cum-progressus media will be shitting their pantries (intended).
It's a good thing Obama's got their back.
"Curbing the outbreak will require investments of $988 million ..."
Investment?
Obola growth curve would be a great investment if it was a stock. Otherwise the word investment is a hard sale for me. America has indoor plumbing, mostly private transportation not requiring rubbing against sweaty tropical africans in crowded busses.
It soiunds better than throwing $988 million into a black hole.
You know - Investment. Spending money for a "good" reason. It used to mean spending money now with the expectation of getting it all back plus a real return in the future, but that is a quaint notion from the past.

The fire trucks were using it to put out hot spots and drained the neighbors dry too. The people in the McMansions 5 miles away were most appreciative of our donation.

To be as tactful as I can be, when I see your signature (with the wink) after a post, sometimes I just don't find that wink to be very sincere. Or else it is ironic. Or down right tragic. Here, it is sort of like smiling through the tears.
Hope you got your water back. That sucks so bad. I suppose taking it is the right thing, I suppose. Man, what a bitch. Sorry for that, what a theft and twisted emotions.
Yes, that was a sad day and a shot of reality rolled into one. I realized prepping had a limited utility in all scenarios. We never were suckered into mandatory evacs again and now guard our home and have a generator. I am thankful we got an education though never our water back.
My miffed winky is a subtle tribute to nmewn who was my initiator into Fight Club. Surviving his smack down gave me confidence ( for I am really a shy quiet loner at heart) to stay here and I'm grateful he helped me to rise above my nature.

I don't understand why or how you didn't get your water back? Why didn't you just fill up your cistern again? Prepping is hard to remember in Hawaii; it rains all the time; despite the hollywood movies, that's why there's all those flowers ? I have 22,000 gallons of rain water; always. Can't get rid of the damn stuff; and I'm surrounded with food that's practically crawling into the kitchen.
Yes, we did pump the water back when we were able. Pumping 10k gallons is expensive and had to be done slowly as to not damage our well pump. We were not reimbursed for the costs. San Diego has one of the highest electricity costs and we weren't on solar at the time. One of our decisions to get solar was this event. Sad so much of our learning is through experience.

What CDC biochemical petri dish found its way out of the lab? In time, the ebola vaccine drug company will be exposed.
Okairos comes to mind.

Listen Flagit! This is big news. Sounds like you got some problems going on in USSA. It could be an ISIL "SLEEPER" cell making big moves. Good luck with that.
