Researchers Expect Over 20 US Ebola Cases In Weeks, "You Don't Want To Know Worst Case"
"We have a worst-case scenario, and you don't even want to know," warns Alessandro Vespignani, a researcher creating simulations of infectious disease outbreaks, but there could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month. The projections only run through October because it’s too difficult to model what will occur if the pace of the outbreak changes but, as Bloomberg reports, Vespignani warns if the outbreak becomes more widespread in other regions, it "would be like a bad science fiction movie."
Alessandro Vespignani, a Northeastern University professor who runs computer simulations of infectious disease outbreaks warns there could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month.
...
The projections only run through October because it’s too difficult to model what will occur if the pace of the outbreak changes in West Africa, where more than 8,900 people have been infected and 4,400 have died, he said. If the outbreak isn’t contained, the numbers could rise significantly.
“If by the end of the year the growth rate hasn’t changed, then the game will be different,” Vespignani said. “It will increase for many other countries.”
The model analyzes disease activity, flight patterns and other factors that can contribute to its spread.
“We have a worst-case scenario, and you don’t even want to know,” Vespignani said. “We could have widespread epidemics in other countries, maybe the Far East. That would be like a bad science fiction movie.”
The worst case would occur if Ebola acquires pandemic status and is no longer contained in West Africa, he said. It would be a catastrophic event, one Vespignani says he is confident won’t happen.
The CDC disagrees...
It’s unlikely that Ebola will ever exceed 20 cases in the U.S. or Europe because of their extensive health care infrastructures, said Ramanan Laxminarayan, director of the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy, a non-profit think tank in Washington, D.C. The problem in the developed world will center more on the economic impact, he said.
“The damage is not as much in the number of deaths as much as in the panic it creates and all the disruption it creates in trade and travel,” he said. “It’s important for public health officials to strike a balance between being serious and certainly not creating panic.”
“It’s not going to be like the movie ‘Contagion,’” he said.
And Eli Perencevich, professor of epidemiology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, said average Americans shouldn’t see any risk from the virus outside of the medical community because patients aren’t terribly infectious until the disease peaks...
“There’s a high probability that there will be another person who comes in, no matter what we do, but the risk is in the hospital,” he said in a telephone interview. “As long as people who know they have been exposed to the virus get themselves quickly to the hospital, even after they have started a fever, it should be OK because they aren’t that infectious.”

BLACK FRIDAY!!!
this gets better and better..
Moar like "Black Death Friday"
And I'll say it again:
The U.S. Government WANTS Ebola to spread fast now
Because it solves several big problems for them
1) A pandemic eliminates the threat of civil unrest cause crowds are a great way to get infected
2) It makes the masses all the moar dependent and thus obedient to the government
3) It shifts focus away from foreign affairs so the government can do what it wants in the world
4) It eliminates large numbers of the unemployable and thus non-spending populous thus lowering welfare costs
5) And many moar such benefits
So the CDC KNOWS Ebola is airborne and is counting on it to spread like a wildfire.
who is charge of this cluster ____?
For every Ebola patient you must count one extra for whoever is holding the clipboard
ALL CLIPBOARD HOLDERS ARE IMMUNE! GET YOU CLIPBOARDS WHILE THEY LAST!!!
long
clipboards
A) Get yourself to a hospital.
B) Isolate yourself in a temporary residential structure, that can be easily disposed of, if need be.
(In case of infection, do you...)
NO!
just moar to clean up...
With both infections and deaths (currently running at approx. 1/2 of infections) easily doubling every month, it doesn't take a lot of brain power to realize that this is already well out of hand at 10,000 infections as of 10/15/14. Extending the math out to January 2016 at this rate would equate to roughly 300 million infected and 150 million dead. Beyond that it truly becomes apacolyptic.
If it did reach those numbers by end of next year then kiss any economic related activity goodbye (except maybe for hazmat suits that is).
Everything would be slowed down to a minimum of person to person contact. Someone at work gets it- the whole building shuts down with 21 day shut ins for any personel within said building.
This is likely going to be disruptive.
There's a little story about grains of rice on a chess board:
There's a famous legend about the origin of chess that goes like this. When the inventor of the game showed it to the emperor of India, the emperor was so impressed by the new game, that he said to the man
"Name your reward!"
The man responded,
"Oh emperor, my wishes are simple. I only wish for this. Give me one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two grains for the next square, four for the next, eight for the next and so on for all 64 squares, with each square having double the number of grains as the square before."
The emperor agreed, amazed that the man had asked for such a small reward - or so he thought. After a week, his treasurer came back and informed him that the reward would add up to an astronomical sum, far greater than all the rice that could conceivably be produced in a century.
We sometimes find it hard to grasp how fast functions like 'doubling' makes numbers grow- these functions which are called 'exponential functions' are found all around us- in compound interest, inflation, moldy bread, rabbit populations and in petri dishes with bacteria growing in them.
Sadly we can also add Ebola to the above list.
As to "You don't want to see what the worst-case scenario" looks like, I've already been privy to the results of modelling done by the Sorbonne and it's none too cheerful.
Longer range modelling has the same problems as longer range forecasting - the variables are "too variable", so it becomes more of a guesstimate than hard forecast (out beyond a month or two).
Can't say the "doom and gloom" coming out of the WHO fills me with much hope either - and as for Mr Abbot saying Australia will easily cope with an outbreak - I've got (not so great) news for him.
Yes, very hard to estimate with any degree of accuracy. I would think though that in developing countries the death rate would actually increase as the numbers increased over a certain threshold, simply because it would overwhelm any medical infrastructure, as in Sierra Leone and other North African countries.
As it is there are few hospitals in the Western world that are equiped to deal with this. Use Dallas as evidence.
From what I have read the fear is that this migrates into India and from there to the rest of Asia. There are a lot of migrant Indian workers in North Africa who travel back and forth between the two countries. Due to population density and sanitation standards in much of India it would be almost impossible to control an outbreak there.
It could very easily be established in India already, but with their none too great rural and "poorer parts of Metropolitan" illness rates, detection may easily be delayed.
Fancy the numbre of "close contacts" to our putative "Index Patient" if he uses Metropolitan Public Transport?? - "Rush Hour at Ravik Chowk Station" -

Wait until The Ebola hits Guangzhou where many Africans live; I've read estimates of anywhere between 50,000 to 300,000 Africans live in that area of China, many without a visa since after they get there, many do not return to Africa [similar to USA where over 60% never return I read despite having no visa]. Yes, China is also worried:

Add to Headbanger's list:
Social Security and Medicare looted "trust funds" solved. Along with all the underfunded pension funds.
A smarter perspective for an American convinced of imminent ebola doom would be to deliberately catch it early. You would gain celebrity status and future immunity while still having a good chance of survival. If there is a more serious outbreak, medical services will become strained and survival at lower odds. Further for all of the hedgers out their, known immunity would have significant potential earning capacity. Sick I know, but still, we have yet to lose an american to this disease, so I say now or never!
genius.

Yes, the initial cases will multiply. But how do you get the initial cases into this country (or India?)
The answer: allow a continuing pattern of flights from already infected countries like Liberia, New Guinea, etc.
And, this is the current administrations ongoing strategy: FAIL TO BAN FLIGHTS OR TO QUARANTINE THOSE ENTERING. THAT SEEMS TO BE THEIR IMMEDIATE PLAN.
If there is some alternative to flight bans and quarantines in combating this disease, I am not aware of it. BS and distraction won't do anything but make it worse.
We will eventually reach a point where flight bans won't matter and quarantine procedures will only be used inside our borders if this administration continues the insanity.
Maybe then, finally, Obama will be happy.
Guinea, not New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is a nation in the Western Pacific.
...I give up....
Good intentions are paved...blazed even!...by a road to Hell.
Seriously..."we don't know." We have all the markers of an Outbreak..but until the stench of death matches the "smell of something fishy" we're still in the pure conjecture phase.
We sure look incompetent though. Plus we're dividing our command already. (CDC versus infectious and communicable.) that sounds like someone hedging their bets to me.
"Pit one against the other so as not to be blamed" (blame shifting.)
Senator McCain has called for an "Ebola Czar." I think that's what he's getting at...but like everyone else no one really is taking charge of the language here. My view on ISIS is pretty simple: "stop killing Christians."
My view on Ebola is simple too: "I don't know what it is or where it came from...so kill it." If there is a protest over methodology I'm certainly listening. Obviously there is more than just "following the protocol"...but the methodology exists for a reason. You don't want to kill a "disease" and wind up making more of it in the process.
Hence "shelter in place." You need to separate us humans from each other...hopefully for a VERY limited time...because this a communicable pathogen. You also have to slow down the pace of movement itself since interactions are inevitable.
This will require Statism.
Very well run (we'll run?) Statism (Stagism?)
So far...so bad.
And I think Twenty is laughable as a "preliminary estimate."
We're way past that already in my view.
2000 probably....
a return of states rights taken durring the civil war would allow local soloutions.
you have plague cases in colorado for decades and you never been pissed off so far...
ThoughtProcessor...agreed. I posted similar remarks as yours a month ago. But no ebola in India--why? Their formidable Pharmaceutical industry---hated by Big Phamra. Indians are very resourceful and Big Pharma knows there is no profit margin. In Pfzer, Merck and Novartis view, India owes them billions for making copies of HIC cocktails drugs and giving them to their citizens, along with Thailand.
Even Hillary when she was at Dept of State made a visit to Thailand and India to try and shame them into paying "billions in lost licensing revenue." The Indians and Thais just laughed.
Ebola is a designer virus and it demands a high price vaccine. This ebola ploy souhds eerily similar to the Joseph KONY scam of a year ago.
If an Ebola ridden Abbot came near me I'd shirtfront him with flamethrower, you bet your are.... you bet I am"
Shame it's Crue's last tour. Looks like Nikki has it covered.
The good part about exponential functions is that they don't apply to events like pestilence for long. It doesn't take too many of those chessboard squares before the infectable population starts to dwindle
Yup. This is why you need the logistic function. Exponential growth fits the first half of the curve. if you take the first derivative of the function you'll get the rate at which new cases happen.
Same curve applies to peak oil btw.

I guess thats why doubling up at the Casino doesn't work. Bugger
Thank you Proffesor. Elequent.. Now I will shit myself do death.
"Extending the math out to January 2016 at this rate would equate to roughly 300 million infected and 150 million dead."
I'm saving this bullshit and January 2016 will prove it's bullshit and you're a delusional nutcase.
Actually it'll be proven way before then.
Why do medical models ALWAYS turn out to be bullshit? Maybe because you're nutcases.
If ANY projection you nutcases made was true, we'd all be dead, you too.
I also think the math projection a load of shit. If ( most likely) ebola gets a foot hold within western society human nature will take over.
People's reaction will be to isolate themselves, and limit potential contact.
The problem will arise from people that are reliant on modern day requirements, be it medical, the Supermarket, transport, and close contact work with people. These people are in a high risk lifestyle.
Possibly we caught see a rapid burn through, then people will be forced to change their lifestyle or die. Then the maths tapers off as easy pickings have gone.
I brew beer, and it's like yeast, Feed it and it multiplies, then runs out of food and declines and burns out. Be prepared to isolate, survive then rebuild.
Two dozen cases will completely overwhelm the US infrastructure. From that time forward, treatment won't be much better than West Africa.

By the time he was diagnosed with Ebola, he had exposed his 72 fellow plane passengers, the airport and hospital patients to the highly infectious disease.
The conditions seemed ripe for it to spread through the densely-populated city of 21 million people and beyond, through the workers travelling in and out of Lagos every day and international travellers flying from its airport around the world.
An emergency presidential decree enabled officials to access mobile phone records and use law enforcement agencies where necessary to track down people at risk.
Almost 900 people - 362 in Lagos and 529 in Port Harcourt – were traced and monitored for symptoms for 21 days to ensure they had not contracted Ebola.
Nigeria’s Port Health Services worked with airlines to ensure outbreak notifications were made and the Ministry of Health activated an Ebola Incident Management Centre to lead the national response.
But Nigeria is run retarded email scamming niggers who eat fruitbats, fuck the dead, shit in the middle of the road, and have idea about or experience with Obamacare® big pharma's WonderDrugz®, GE Healthcare's million dollar diagnostic gizmos, or negative pressure isolation rooms (or so those "exceptional" ZH posters proclaimed)...
While the USSA is run by ivy league educated elite over achievers (like the CDC chairman, HHS & DHS Secretaries and the Golfer-in-Chief and Printer-in-Chief)...
James_Cole hate to break it to you, but 'merica's FUCKED.

http://us.cdn281.fansshare.com/photos/dallas/discount-travel-deals-to-da...
Priorities a bit messed up maybe?
The unrealized opportunity and underemployed resources are frankly depressing, especially juxtaposed to the over achievement.
Goodluck is about viewed over there as about as trust worthy or competent as Obozo is back home, and the populace is even more hostility divided. Nigeria also has kleptocrats and incompetent patronage beneficiaries to match their email scammers and anything seen in America.
The only thing that comes to mind is that no one in Nigeria is under any illusion that they aren't utterly expendable, and self-perception as "special" isn't endemic if not a rarity.
Bad time for rhetoric. As in "what you think" as opposed to "what in fact is true."
President probably calling up the troops because of fear of not appearing to be doing anything. Sending them "Over There" is a bad cover for them Being Here though. Problem with establishing authority? Tough call. Can't do nothing. Do anything is wrong too.
"Paradoxical reasoning."
True, but too many right now simply drop the "think", "probably" or "might" and simply go with Bubba's old favorite - "is", and then we all get caught in senseless and endless arguments over the definition of "is"...
One thing about An Ebola Outbreak is that it's pretty obvious.
"Monrovia on the Hudson."
I have little problem with Monrovia on the Hudson or on the Potomac either, for that matter. Start it on the Trinity or the Chattahoochee, and there is too little urgency in addressing root cause effectively.
Good thing we don't border nigeria. mexicans just shit their pants.
@James_Cole Hey, Nigeria is a nice place, they singing in the streets.

There is no reason for anyone to believe a random internet poster -- but what I'm telling you next is TRUE:
A friend works at a company that is currently working with the UN and WHO on the Ebola issue (streamlining logistics, etc). As an FYI, he told me there are currently countries that have Ebola cases AND THAT THIS DATA HAS NOT BEEN revealed either to their citizens or the world (wouldn't tell me where).
Also, the cases in all of the West African countries are grossly UNDERESTIMATED and everyone is very afraid that this will spiral out of control.
For what it is worth...
I believe you. And I also believe that Ebola cases have shown up in nearly every major hospital ED. It would be very bad business to admit it. Yet.
Can someone explain to me why there were no doctors saying sorry at that Dallas Hospital Patient Zero thingy?
I mean if I were at that hearing today in Congress my first question would have been "who the phuck are you?"
Because if the answer is "I'm the head of employee turnover" guess what..wrong answer.
I believe you too. Why is there no French or Italian cases reported?
everyone is very afraid that this will spiral out of control
Language issues. Let's think about the word "control". When we are in control, then our actions influence our environment in expected ways to achieve the result we intend.
In this case, the authorities in all countries implement protocol after protocol, and yet the numbers keep increasing in direct opposition to the stated intent of those acting.
This particular outbreak of ebola has been out of control since we have been informed about it. I have yet to see any signs that we have anything remotely approaching "control" in this situation, in any country.
The virus is driving this bus. Amazingly, so far, the humans are actually accelerating the virus's control and power by allowing it to be carried wherever it might have wanted to go (by modern jet transportation, no less!).
Exponential math, what a bitch!
Listen American Zero's.
You must learn to be "LESS" promiscuous. Yes, less. Which is contrary to what you've been taught all along.
Now you must do a 180º turn, in everything you do. Sorry for the bad news.
LESS promiscuous?
Rosie's not going to like that.
We need to double the flights coming in from the Infected Zones, open the southern border wide so the streams of central merikans can come across and then the spread should be controlled according to Freeden's Lying Logic of Paradoxes.
That's Cloward Piven, with a sprinkle of Rahm Immanuel...brilliant!
Less Promiscuous? lmao. Good luck with that. As soon as one of those "hot" Ebola Nurses or CNA's walk through the door after shift....some swinging dick will be hitting it. And then it's off to Starbucks and work in the morning. We're screwed.
Bangalore, your comments crack me up. They always begin with "Listen" and then proceed to write (visually) what you want people to "listen" to. If irony isn't your strong suit, ignorance surely is.
But, but, but - Obola will save us!
Since there are only 11 level-four containment beds among the four hospitals in the country, and three of those beds (maybe more?) are already occupied, then yes, two dozen cases is 3X the number of available beds.
Hence the call up of the reserves?
Not sure I want to be frog marched to the local Armory. We do seem to be in the business of "spreading the wealth" these days though...
Trust me, with shows on TV everyday like Walking Dead and movies like Resident Evil and WWZ, if the sheeps are not prepared for something like this, then they deserve to be slaughtered. They think reality is just a TV show.
Listen States.
I can't wait to hear the news of the TSA badboys dropping like flies. I luv it when that happens.
Everyone 'OPT OUT' and choose the patdown.
And make them pull fresh gloves out of the box before they grope you.
Somehow the proposed solution of all that media -- which is shooting everyone in the head if they're sick -- doesn't comfort me one bit.
Someone should create a digital, cloud based, clipboard.
That would be the best way to track the Ebola-ness and movements of the Ebola-ized clipboards
You better get them quickly, they are going at a fast clip I hear.
But if I'm holding a clipboard, how do I carry my scissors?
Do they make scissor holsters, and if so, is that considered too aggressive?
I thought the guy with the clipboard was one of the Prison Guards from Idiocracy.
s. inf.....follow the trail of Kedema Bio Lab in Nigeria. You must draw your own conclusions.
I am putting final touches on a Ebola parody song and was hoping to release it as a music video. Anyone good with making videos (I'm horrible at it)? If so, please feel free to email me at tikipalm at gmail com and I can send you the music.
paging FUU. . . FUU, pick up the 'phone. . .

Vespignani sounds Italian. I think what he means regarding Ebola and Sci-Fi is that this could be like a really bad Spaghetti Western filmed on Mars.
"5) And many moar such benefits"
How about this: there are enough cases showing up in the next three weeks that Obama issues an executive order to "shelter-in-place" thereby effectively cancelling the mid-term elections!
BTW, if a shelter-in-place order is issued, how many of us can survive for 3-4 weeks without leaving the domicile? Who would man the power plants (and attendant infrastructure), the water plants, the waste treatment plants, etc. If we have more than 7 days of food art we not already terrrists? People would eventually break out and walk around like zombies- oh shit...
Only thing spreading fast is FEAR OF ebola, and that's way more useful to govt than ebola itself.
"In government nothing happens by accident. If it happens you can bet it was planned that way." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt
I have every confidence govt wants to destroy the economy, no arugument there. And FEAR OF ebola could possibly do it. But ebola won't.
And more evidence is coming out it's not ebola at all. As time goes along more evidence will come out. And more whistleblowers will come out.
So it's a race against time. Can the scammers achieve their goals before they're outed? With 99% of Americans being stupid ignorant sheep, they might just succeed. Odds certainly are on their side.
When Pres. Bill Clinton read the book 'The Hot Zone' by Richard Preston in the 1990's it prompted his orders to step up bio-terrorism research and prevention. Here are some excerpts from the book & no doubt, there are probably several strains of Ebola in addition to other deadly hemorrhagic fevers:
'The Ebola virus kills nine out of ten of its victims so quickly and gruesomely that even biohazard experts are terrified. It is airborne, it is extremely contagious, and in the winter of 1989, it seemed about to burn through the suburbs of Washington D.C.
At Fort Detrick’s USAMRIID, an Army research facility outside the nation’s capital, a SWAT team of soldiers and scientists wearing biohazard space suits was organized to stop the outbreak of the exotic “hot” virus. The grim operation went on in secret for eighteen days, under unprecedented, dangerous conditions.'
'The headache begins, typically, on the seventh day after exposure to the agent. On the seventh day after his New Year’s visit to Kitum cave-January 8, 1980-Monet felt a throbbing pain behind his eyeballs. He decided to stay home from work and went to bed in his bungalow. The headache grew worse. His eyeballs ached, and then his temples began to ache, the pain seeming to circle around inside his head. It would not go away with aspirin, and then he got a severe backache. His housekeeper, Johnnie, was still on her Christmas vacation, and he had recently hired a temporary housekeeper. She tried to take care of him, but she really didn’t know what to do. Then, on the third day after his headache started, he became nauseated, spiked a fever, and began to vomit. His vomiting grew intense and turned into dry heaves. At the same time, he became strangely passive. His face lost all appearance of life and set itself into an expressionless mask, with the eyeballs fixed, paralytic, and staring. The eyelids were slightly droopy, which gave him a peculiar appearance, as if his eyes were popping out of his head and half closed at the same time. The eyeballs themselves seemed almost frozen in their sockets, and they turned bright red. The skin of his face turned yellowish, with a brilliant starlike red speckles. He began to look like a zombie. His appearance frightened the temporary housekeeper. She didn’t understand the transformation in this man. His personality changed. He became sullen, resentful, angry, and his memory seemed to be blown away. He was not delirious. He could answer questions, although he didn’t seem to know exactly where he was.'
'When a hot virus multiplies in a host, it can saturate the body with virus particles, from the brain to the skin. The military experts then say that the virus has undergone “extreme amplification.” This is not something like the common cold. By the time an extreme amplification peaks out, an eyedropper of the victim’s blood may contain a hundred million particles. In other words, the host is possessed by a life form that is attempting to convert the host into itself. The transformation is not entirely successful, however, and the end result is a great deal of liquefying flesh mixed with virus, a kind of biological accident. Extreme amplification has occurred in Monet, and the sign of it is the black vomit.'
you do realize you're misspelling the word "more" right?

This will be a great scapegoat for a tanking economy.
Or a great scapegoat for avoiding elections in two and a half weeks.
Elections are going to be held right up until the end.
What do you think is keeping 25% of the population from saying why are we letting these fucks do this?
Elections. Vote the Bums out. Yeah, that'll fix things.

You have to keep the trappings of the farce working.
The only people who would go to the polls in the middle of an ebola outbreak would be the people who are most committed to the Red Team and Blue Team. Maybe this is all a diabolical plan by some evil genius.

Black Death Friday. 20 by the end of the month would assume a contagion rate beyond the 3 patients so far. It would mean there are more transplanted cases in the next 2 weeks. Happy halloween bitchez.
I am about 50/50 on clipboard man since he was holding the spare biowaste bag. Dumb ass.
my buddy's ex-wife makes $80 hourly on the computer . She has been fired from work for 7 months but last month her pay check was $19252 just working on the computer for a few hours. see here http://goo.gl/yioYBZ
Can you send a pic of her tits, how much for an hour?
Also a full travel history of her say...last ten thousand years.
And if she is ten thousand years old...that is.
QUICK! Double the flights out of the Ebola Outbreak Region!!!
We need Medical Martial Law by Christmas!!
Thanks Obola!! Your the greatest!!
Oh - put yourself in for head of the Coming Global UN Government why don't you.. Because you sure are working hard to make it a reality. Thanks!!!
Don't forget the popular leftist "unreported" cases. That is always a bigger number than really occurs.
And Black Friday will be followed by Black Sabbath.
Black limo or black hearse?
there could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month...

FIXED IT
The learning curve is slow...but there is one.
I think.
No expert but I believe "isolation" is step one.
You just don't want to be caught in the gap between the death curve and the learning curve. That is a bad spot.
Even if some tests come back positive from those vomiting on a flight, I doubt very much they would tell the public. Just as the PM of Japan lied to his people about the magnitude of Fuki, CDC must lie in order not to create some serious panic. I can understand that even though I don't agree with it.
BTW ... The NPR interview with some well-known psychiatrist was great today. The segway into it by the reporter hinted she wanted the psychiatrist to say people's fears are now too extreme ... irrational ... or at least unreasonable.
I bet her jaw dropped when the psychiatrist told on the radio exactly the opposite and said basically it's normal to be scared shitless of this disease since it's "a horrible death."
Seems NPR quickly thanked her, yanked the mike away from the psychiatrist and swiftly segwayed [of all things] into the cooking/recipe/chef interview.
NPR are such a bunch vapid sheep spouting bullshit about PC topics like breast cancer and hispanic women who breast feed their brats up to age 12.
I see robust medical tourism coming. Africans will take taxis straight from the airport to the local hospital. My wife used to treat them. I'll let you know if it's a hoax when the wife's NYC ER friends, who are scared shitless, start dropping.
Of course, we'll need pictures. You know, for verification. These days I cannot tell if my tin foil hat is on straight like. Thanks ahead.
Like a picture is believable these days.
Hell, you want a body? I can get you a body dude. I can get you a body by 10 o'clock. With toenail polish. There are ways dude. You don't want to know.
>>>I see robust medical tourism coming. Africans will take taxis straight from the airport to the local hospital
FWIW this has been going on for decades. It is/was reasonably common for middle-class Africans to show up at US teaching hospitals with some sort of serious disease, while traveling on a tourist visa. Given the treatments options available in most of Africa, I can't say I blame them for coming to the Promised Land of Infinite Wealth to get a piece of the pie. Movin' on up!

You need to add that is was a conspiracy by the Christian Missionaries to bring about the opening of the Sixth Seal...And the Christians are lying about Ebola because it does not exist, and they are complicit in the hoax, because they love their jewish bosses which is why the Christians are bringing the infection over here to kill us all.
Awesome edits, you got 9/11 and chemtrails in!

set it up today, having a blast with this.
fer a sec' there- i thought you were venting for miffed.
your background looks like pretzels
Seek help ASAP.
She is writing SATIRE.
If you are reading what she wrote it is just a compilation of the cacaphony of commentary about Ebola on these pages over the past few months.
If our community on Hedge is that discordant and clueless, while we are generally more enlightened than the masses, just how messed up are the rest whom are not members of this community?
Maybe it is you who need to stop being such an ass, take a good look in the mirror and then seek some help...for yourself?
That is an awesome assembly of responses all woven together. Did you save all of those up in a word doc somewhere or are you in the "zone"?
it's a work in progress. I have a domain name and will have it up on a web site later. along with a blog. and proof of ebola hoax. so stay tuned it is going to be absolutely epic.
OK, sounds interesting.
Cougar make sure you have some circular links too. The more the merrier.

links to ZH comments section claiming that as a "reliable resource" lulz.
hey i wonder if there is any money in this
First hand knowledge of a Nigerian prince who has a secret potent to protect against the eboli.
His bank account had been frozen so he needed advance cash to advance the secret to help save the world.
Now for a no profit sum to just return what you had to put out to help the prince. You will put a notation in the eboli files of the gracious donor and the world will appreciate your charitable kindness.
Please leave your name and phone # and the available bank balance and account # that we can draw the funds from.
Is there any money in perma-bears and doom porn?
You bet! You're on ZH, right?
