Is It About To Get Worse? Lakeland Hazmat Suit Orders Go Exponential, Surpass 1 Million
Almost exactly a month ago, long before the Texas Ebola fiasco, when virtually nobody had heard of a small company out of Ronkonkoma, NY called Lakeland Industries and whose only product is "industrial protective clothing for industry, municipalities, healthcare and to first responders" i.e., Hazmat suits, we asked "i) who will get sick next and ii) how bad could it get?" For the answer we focused on the recently announced order of 160,000 Hazmat suits by the US State Department which had come at a time when the CDC was urging everyone that there is nothing to fear and that Ebola is under control. Not surprisingly, shortly thereafter the Ebola situation promptly escalated and led to not only the first Ebola death and Ebola transmission on US territory, but also the first Ebola infection in New York City.
Fast forward to today when shortly after the close, and minutes after it announced the completion of another $11 million follow on offering, Lakeland surprised everyone, and especially those who are short the stock, when it released the following "Update on Business Activity Relating to Ebola Crisis" in which it announced that it has, by now, received a stunning 1 million Hazmat suit orders and rising exponentially.
Through its direct sales force and numerous distribution partners throughout the world, Lakeland has secured new orders relating to the fight against the spread of Ebola. Orders have been received from government agencies around the world as well as other public and private sector customers. Certain of these contracts require weekly delivery guarantees or shipments through the first calendar quarter of 2015. The aggregate of orders won by Lakeland that are believed to have resulted from the Ebola crisis amount to approximately 1 million suits with additional orders for other products, such as hoods, foot coverings and gloves. Lakeland started shipping such orders only in October, which is the end of its fiscal 2015 third quarter reporting period. The main impact from Ebola-related orders received to date will not be realized until the Company's fiscal 2015 fourth quarter ended January 31, 2015.
Additionally:
Monthly production capacity for sealed seam ChemMAX and MicroMAX protective suit lines has increased by nearly 50% from August 2014, prior to Ebola-related product demand, to October 2014, and is on track for a 100% increase from that level by January 2015, with the ability for additional increases as needed. Substantially all of the available production capacity in August 2014 had been allocated to purchases by the Company's industrial customers (for non-Ebola related purposes). The Company will continue to service its industrial customers who are dependent upon Lakeland to conduct their work safely. The expanded capacity is necessary in order to meet obligations for both traditional customers as well as for protection against the spread of Ebola.
Conveniently enough, we put the 1 million Hazmat suits in context just two weeks ago when it was revealed that Ebola-stricken Liberia alone needs about 1 million suits for its population.
Some additional context: earlier today the World Health Organization said that 4,910 people had died of Ebola and anew record, or 13,676 confirmed, probable or suspected cases, had been reported in the three hardest-hit countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
As we said in the summery when the Ebola cases in those countries were orders of magnitude fewers, "let's hope these cases do not cross borders and certainly not the Atlanic."
Finally, to remind everyone what the hoopla is all about, and why LAKE stock was up 30% after hours despite the equity dilution, here is what a Lakeland suit looks like... and costs. Something tells us LAKE's $60 million market cap as of today's close will be quite a bargin in the coming months. Especially with 44% of the float short.

85,000 body bags as a six month forecast!?
Where did that come from?
This ebola is a false flag.
Look at profit gains for medical supplies lately.
Follow the money.
Q4 gonna be a good for some company's that's for sure.
Whether it's a false flag or not, Americans are sure showing their true colors running around like scared children and demanding extraordinary measures to combat a disease that has killed so far, what, one person in America (who flew in from somewhere else)? Even in the worst health care condition countries in Africa the death toll over a period of months is drawfed by the number of people killed by ordinary diseases, starvation, etc every single day.
If it gets rolling then the diversion from the economic collapse and its true predators will be completed. You can survive Ebola but don't think its going to be easy. Ignoring it is also foolhardy
I admit I'm a fool, then. I think it's all bullshit. Not that it's a horrible disease or that people are not suffering, but that's it is a pandemic in the making. It's not. If I'm wrong, you can laugh at me later. But I've lived through quite a few of these end of the world as we know it scenarios, and so far the world keeps clicking along.
It's probably not valid to assume shit never happens because it hasn't happened in your short lifetime.
I agree, but this doesn't add up. It's been loose in Africa for months and months in conditions that are completely out of control. And yet you don't see millions of casualties. I believe in coverups and all manner of conspiracies, but this one doesn't strike me as valid. I'll eat my bloody underwear if I'm wrong.
Imo, I think its possible that its part of the agenda to get us vaccinated - and if they make the vaccinations mandatory, then you know its on...
Jon currently covers Ebola everday on his site, good info for consideration:
.
'Let’s see. Dr. Craig Spencer comes back from Guinea, where he’s been treating patients. In NYC, he takes the subway, he goes bowling, he eats at restaurants, he jogs. He begins feeling fatigued, he takes his temp. 100.3.
He makes a call. The hazmat army arrives and rushes him to Bellevue.
The doctors announce: Ebola. On what basis?Unknown.
What specific diagnostic tests did they run? Unknown.
Can we examine those tests, in great detail, and the results? Fat chance.'

They will probalby be buried in the desert next to the 10 million unsold E. T. Atari games or incinerated like the 150 million unused swine flu vaccine doses from the Ford administration.
Remember swine flu? Yeah, me neither....
If I catch Ebby I hope it's around Thanksgiving. My favorite holiday for family get-togethers. There's a couple of highly obnoxious self-absorbed asshole relatives I'd like to pass an infected dry drumstick and festive tray of canned cranberries to.
They stand to profit ALMOST as much as big pharma vaccine producers.
Now lets privatize the profits, and socialize the losses because that's the way it's been for 30 years.
Swine Flu didn't mutate, that was the fear at that time. Ebola, this strain that has killed a lot of Africans in a short period of time for a virus, could mutate into a airborne virus like influenza. Lets just say somewhere, someone at the CDC or close associate has issued a warning that you and I don't know about.
1million Hazmat suits! That's a lot of product!
It would seem hospitals were caught with their pants down - inadequate supplies in the event of an outbreak of any contagion. All those tax dollars to CDC, FEMA...and they pissed it away. FEMA has expired supplies, etc. Typical government "here to help you" programs.
Ugh ... I caught the swine flu as a kid... That was a bad one...puss coming out of my eyes for a few weeks.
Was that pus or cats?
I didn't have a chance to read an account, but the whole thing with that gal in NJ seemed to have a lot of circus show-off production for the cameras. Columns of flashing lights when, you know, one ambulance and maybe a couple escort vehicles would've sufficed.
A vaccination could be a slow killer that adds to toxic and immunity overload, a fast kill for a worst-case-scenario or just "good enough" to push through the product pipeline to make a buck, effects be whatever.
Somehow, I think the whole eugenics things is a slow-motion thing, more akin to slowing down a huge freight train than crashing a column of long-distance bicycles. Basically, there's a crap-load of population growth momentum to deal with. Just slowing down the train is a big enough task.
This all boils down to how it transmits. The areas where it is going wild (1) have <ahem> piss poor sanitation and (2) have atypical customs regarding the dead.
In the US, the dead are treated at a great distance, often only touched or handled by specialized workers. Further, we have flushing shitters, homes/apartments, and are fairly sanitary. Most folks in the US don't realize that in many parts of the world the tap water is NOT safe and it is not uncommon for many generations to live in a very, very small space by "western" standards.
So, if this bug proves to be traditional, it will crop up here and there, in the US, Europe, Japan and such. Countries who slide down the scale of hygiene/wealth will see more problems. But key is that the dirtiest countries will see the biggest, potentially catastrophic, outbreaks. It might very well wipe out the entire poulation sans a small contingent of survivors (~15% give or take).
If the elite engineered a bug, this couldn't be better in their eyes. It destroys the heavily populated, but poor, areas of the world (with the most undeveloped resources), which opens them up to settlement by the rich, affluent parts of the world.
This will take 3 to 5 years to see one way or the other.

Nothing says Ebola better than "it's different this time."
Sound familiar?
You can afford to be wrong on influenza because as deadly as it is it does not have the ability to wipe out 50% of an entire population.
We THINK we know....but all in fact we DO know about Ebola is the fatality rate. "Hence the focus on how it's transmitted" and MY focus on whether or not you are "symptomatic" versus "asymptomatic" as a way to infect others.
My first and only thought is that this has "jumped the shark" and is taking out healthcare workers because folks who are a symptomatic (meaning they have the virus but show no symptoms) are able to "pass it on."
We know for a fact that the US Ambassador to the UN who in all her puffery "was heading straight to West Africa" was suddenly denied by the State Department any chance at "mingling." That says to me this thing about to go parabolic.
The response has been botched because it has injected "fear of a propaganda campaign" into the discussion of something that you cannot afford to be wrong about in any way.
Still...there is an information gap here as well which...when I watch equities surge on the news...says to me "this thing is being arbitraged like a mother phucker." That makes me far more fearful because one could argue that this horrific contagion in the form of an outbreak has shown itself to have financial interests. The term "useless eaters" does immediately spring to mind....
Well it's all about jobs this go round, we will get the ebola discussion the next go round after we've had plenty of time to think on how to profit from it.
The nurses Amber Vinson and Nina Pham who contracted ebola have now both been declared free of the disease. I think it's too early too call it as a non-starter. Wait until the end of the first week of November (It's only 7 days away, calculated +29 days from the moment Amber Vinson became ill) and if there aren't any big influxes of ebola patients, then you can definitely say that it is not as virulent as it was first feared.
Me? I thought there would be a pandemic and I calculated the odds of catching it at 1 in 5 over the next 12 months which is far too high for me to safely ignore. I hope you're right. I hope it's not going to be a pandemic, but I am not going to ignore the possibility either with flippant underwear eating bets.
Mate, Ebola is red herring. It is just being used to pass legislation to suspend freedom of travel and to say people who refuse vaccines are endangering everyone.
Two words for the tell: clipboard guy
I know it does look like a red herring mate, but my old girl is a medic at a major London hospital and red herring or not, they are taking the threat of a pandemic very seriously. Which I have to admit favours your view as well as mine. Right now, I haven't come to a firm decision about it yet. Being prepared either way seems the wiser course.
Of course you're right - they will use any old excuse to suspend freedom in any way they can. I don't disagree about that at all. As for clipboard guy, it's a compelling argument in your favour. :)
The only caveat to this whole line of thinking is understanding, fully, that the "elite" are so because there are thousands (literally) of workers supporting them. Some are cattle, but others are educated engineers and scientists and medical and so on.. It do not work any other way. In todays very advanced (i.e. technology, power grids, medical, manufacturing, commodity extraction/processing, etc), it is a VERY risky bet to kill off the "mules" in such a way.
Simply stated, as I have before, the rancher is rich because he has a 1000 head of cattle. If those cattle bleed from the ass/eyes and die, and he ends up with 100 cattle, he has a very serious economic problem on his hands.
Regards,
Cooter
That is also a good argument. My reservation concerns the fact that the elite are sociopaths - I have genuinely heard people like them (Or worse pretend-elites) talk of killing off the poor who are a drain on the resources. This disease has a fairly high survival rate and if you factor in the possible virulency factored at the same rate as the virulency of the influenza virus, it only means a maximum of 20% population catching it per annum, ~50% mortality rate in that population of the infected.
The degree of pathogenicity is such that you can imagine those fuckers swilling their port and discussing the "culling" of the poorest and most unhygienic portion of their "cattle". IE, the most unproductive part of the herd for slaughter. That's what I am worried about, essentially, but I certainly don't want to argue against your reasonable assumptions.
At some stage there will be a kill-off. Likely through a bio-release. For now this is just the rehearsal. When the read deal comes, it will be quick.
As far as the rancher argument. With technology, the number of catle have reached the point of diminishing returns. So a reduction of, say, 30% is not frowned upon by the ranchers if they can just force the remaining ones to continue to carry water for them. A-la Hunger Games.
To be honest I am not sure whether I rather live or die under that scenario, as living will become an acquired taste.
Brother, I feel the same about that hellish scenario. I think I'd probably live awhile for those who depend on me but without them I'm not so sure.
Same here. I've made peace with myself and the universe.
Hit me up if you're ever in Australia, I'll buy you a beer.
Ditto when you come to London. Although one beer is usually not enough for me :).
The one thing we refuse to acknowledge is that the elite consipracy to kill off useless eaters aside, we are fucked either way because we won't stop breeding. If the elite don't concoct some hideous plan to wipe out humanity we'll do it all on our own. Especially Africans. Why won't anyone acknowledge this? We think we have some god given right (and I use the term god deliberately) to have as many fucking kids as we damn well like and expect NO CONSEQUENCES. What the hell?????? Is it socially acceptable to die by wiping out the environment, breed until the resources are used up and there's mass starvation, civil unrest, poisened and polluted oceans. This is OK I take it. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE HEADED. AGAIN, WHY WON'T ANYONE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS?
So what difference does it make, a couple of billion die now at the hands of criminally insane elite, or we die "naturally" by over population?
You assume incorrectly this is how humanity has always been. It's not. The current population dynamics started ~12,000 years ago with the advent of totalitarian agriculture. This un-natural off-shoot of 'who we are' is not humanity, just a bastardized version of it. Read Daniel Quinn's Ishmael and The Story of B to get a better understanding of what you're hinting at. ;)
I have to disagree. The exponential rise in population has coincided exactly with the discovery of oil. We are so fucked. The fantasy bubble human beings live in propogated to a large degree by the great invisible sky man, is sending humanity to the dogs. Go forth and propogate says genesis and don't stop until revelations comes true. It's a blue print for destruction that is only a problem because so many fools lap it up. Check out seek_truth. This individual is just short of frothing at the mouth for the destruction of humanity. When your average joe covets destruction this is exactly what the world will get. Christians are sort of like Hitler except Hitler was content with just Jews and 6 odd million. Christians want the entire world and all in it destroyed. This is what their holy book dictates.
Wrong, I am Christian and I do not want the entire world destroyed. We believe it will be destroyed to end the wicked.
ACTS 2:40 And with many other words he was testifying to them and beseeching them as he said, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”
The Muslims believe the same. I noticed you did not compare Muslims to Hitler.
http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/onlinediscipleship/understandingislam/1...
Morality will be the downfall and if the elite are sociopaths planning the elimination of "eaters" or "poor" that might lead to what your afraid of.
Riiiiight, so you want destroy the 90% of decent, honest and hard working people to destroy the 10% of evil people. Mate, you're a complete fucking idiot and I rest my case. Christians, MUSLIMS, JEWS, want the world destroyed. Complete fucking morons.
This is you: "no we don't want to destroy the world" - pause - " we want to destroy the world because".
Complete fucking morons who don't deserve the life they experience. Do 't try and fix the problem by acting like your so called saviour and demand that your friends and family act the same. Just destroy the fucking world.
I'll be praying for the salvation of the world not the destruction. Your apparently are praying for the asteroid to do what? Destroy the world because..... Do you pay any attention to the words you put in others mouths. There are your words, not mine.
My avatar is pure cynicism, nothing else. I cannot stand the fact that human beings worship a god who according to them will destroy the world to rid it of evil. I cannot stand the fact that people read a 2000 year old book and hang off every bloody word written within. Why bother praying for the salvation of the world because your book of revelations states clearly that IT WILL BE DESTROYED. I cannot stand the utter ambiguities like that which I just highlighted. You believe in the bible, you believe it has been dictated to man by god, everything in it is fact, the world will be destoyed during the end of days, yet you pray for an opposite outcome of the book 2 seconds ago you were telling me you believe in.
Is it any wonder christians drive atheists around the twist. You should want the end of the world, if you don't YOU ARE NOT CHRISTIAN - END OF STORY. Unless I missed the clause in the bible that says if we all pray hard enough Revelations can be avoided.
So do you believe in the bible or not? If you do, then do you want revelations to manifest as written? If you do, then why are you praying for salvation?
Kill off 30% of the herd and you're likely to spook 50% of what's left off of a cliff in a stampede, leaving very few to extract oil, make clothes, grow crops, etc... Those who are left that can do things like that will find that their labor is at a premium, and those who would have been willing to enforce the BS would have bugged in/out with their families after seeing enough of their buddies bleeding out of their assholes. This is either hype, or it is the real deal, or the elite or just as dumb as your average person. By real deal, I mean that it has the real potential to turn into a pandemic, not that it is certainly going to turn into one.
I'll keep an eye on this, but I'm not going to go OMGWTFBBQ EBOLA! without some sure signs that I'll be in the midst of a pandemic. If its coming, chances are that you'll have ample warning to take what you know about germ theory, apply it, and survive.
And I'd rather live, even under that scenario. Once the initial shock had passed, I could make a decent life for myself.
The flu has "pandemics." Ebola has an OUTBREAK.
An EPIDEMIC.
You cannot ignore the fear and since fear is not a feeling...
I'm waiting for a fear of over population to kick in. 9 billion by 2050, that's not very far away. 50% more fish taken from the oceans, 50% more trees felled, 50% more emissions, 50% more waste, 50% more pollution, 50% more everything.
And we are worried about fucking ebola.
I'm watching and reading. They say it should do pretty well in colder, less humid areas.
Until then, I gleefully feed the panic.
I've actually become immune to shit our government tells us to be 'askert' of and all the rest of their bullshit. So now all I can do is watch and wait...and feed the panic just for shits and giggles.
Sir , May I suggest you start with your shorts!
Would you at least concede that we are a bit overdue (time-wise) for a population-reducing event? Be it war, famine, ebola, or otherwise.
this is why i've been so saddened by george washingtons recent spate of articles encouraging panic on ebola, and tyler's decision to indulge.
i even got temporarily booted for being a jerk and posting long EBOLA EBOLA EBOLA posts running pages long as comment board protest.
you can scare west african people who are totally uneducated and many illiterate who've never read about basic biology textbook germ theory. you can panic many people, particularly those note educated in basic medicine , demographics, science, and simple CLEANLINESS.
did the united states go apeshit about polio? certainly there was concern. and that was a real issue. many tens of thousands affected and much lower numbers actually paralyzed by the disease. however, polio didn't have the same crazy effect on americans that ebola is being used to have upon them.
it's manufacturing fear gread and consent everyone. cannot you see this? when things are actually bad the media ignores them and distracts you from them, even sometimes just telling you they are good!. when things are irrelevent the media panics you over them. and the media is controlled more directly than any branch of government by the powers that be.
ebola does exist. false flag or not, THAT is irrelevant. the real government/media conspiracy on ebola is not whether or not this shit was engineered or released in public on purpose. it is HOW THE MEDIA SPINS THE NARRATIVE OF PANIC ON PURPOSE---PURPOSEFULLY SCREAMING FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATRE WHEN EVERYONE KNWOS THERE DAMN WELL IS NONE.
that is the REAL open in your face conspiracy. dialectical warfare , weaponization of the mass media, the social brainwasher.
Just add it to the list: SARS, bird flu, swine flu ...
You gotta remember all these things so you can keep them in perspective.
Gotta remember, though, that polio was already an existing disease, as was tuberculosis and a shitload of others...it was a known and people were accustomed to dealing with it.
With the near wipe-out of polio, courtesy of Jonas Salk, and other measures taken; polio, TB and other goodies were reduced to oddities. Most alive today have never seen an Iron Lung, let alone what it's for. Nor do they have any awareness that many of the Dude ranches in my desert area were once sanitariums for TB patients (supposedly to dry their lungs).
Ebola is new, and apparently a patented, man-made disease that did not originate here, nor has there been any life-experience in dealing with it.
[Yes, I've followed the links to the dark side of the internet where we put our germ warfare labs in certain countries because they weren't signatories to Germ Warfare ban treaties...and that we have a pretty 'good' history of testing shit on innocent people.]
Shit Rand.
You speaking logical might offend some people.
I think what really got me was the almost uniform reaction on the interwebs calling for the imprisonment of the nurse who was quarantined in New Jersey by the donut eating clown. That side of the boat was far too full, and when otherwise resaonable people line up on the side of an unreasonable position I see blind panic. Blind panic is usually a bad thing.
I think the plan is to use this situation to justify FEMA camp (or equivalent) quarantine.
i think they will go a step farther: they will "quarantine" enemies of the state and other undesirables together with those who actually have ebola and are contagious, as a way of offing them.
Where the fuk have you been Rand? Ive been saying this for OVER A MONTH now and getting shouted down by independant group thinkers on ZH. People FINALLY coming around huh? About time. heck even Miffed Microbiologist went into FULL BUGOUT over this hoax. Its a doozy.
Well, she was a qualified expert, so its okay.
@LTER- Did you honestly expect any different reaction from the American populace? This is not the first occurence of a false flag being used to manipulate the sheep into clamoring for MOAR safety and security. Plus, the vast majority of American citizens are not of the Libertarian mindset and they worship at the altar of big government.
More people died from peanut allergies today than have died from Ebola since it was first distributed, ah..I mean detected in Dallas. I don't know if you saw the video with the nurse Nina Pham, but she looks to have gained about 15 lbs while in quarantine. I find this incredibly odd as Ebola symptoms include profuse sweating, uncontrollable bowel movements, and naseau. The bitch looked like she just got back from vacation.
Highdose corticosteroids could make Nina look fatter in the face. ...or, it is the closest look-alike that the gubmint could find...or the pre-disease picture was from back in the skinny days.
@porph-Her whole body was substantially flabbier. I noticed a couple rolls protruding through her shirt at the Washington press conference/Obola photo op. The first photo was of her on a gurney going into quarantine and she was MUCH thinner in all areas. With that said, given this governments proclivity to using crisis actors, who the fuck knows. All I know is that the sheep are being played big time and they are using the scare of Ebola to create a controlled panic of the people.
Of course. Look at who was responsible for their education. The same people who are more likely to kill Amerikans than Ebola....Gubmint.

You may want to look at this Myths and fact on Ebola, with sourced annotated references.
Monotreme1000.wordpress.com
From peer reviewed papers.Ebola has a higher infection rate than the common flu, has already
mutated into a more virulent communicable variant.
Everything Uncle Scam has told us is a lie, I truly hope its a psyop, otherwise this is an ELA.
Give me enough money and I can get any "Science" you want published in a peer reviewed journal.
LTER, pondered 9/11, who paid, who benefited lately? Pardon me for believing that TPTB are not my friend.
also good for medical device taxes....
This one's easy: Buy the stock (or long it), take the profit and use it to buy the suits.
Long cotton, proctor and gamble and washing machines.
Not a lot of people are going to like what I have to say about it - especially the CIA.
Ebola is a false flag, and simultaneously really killing people as a weaponized virus.
Study Phoenix Airlines it took them 30 months to prepare there planes to tranport Ebola victims but the outbreak is only 10 months old.
Look at Tom Clancy killed by the CIA : http://freepatriot.org/2013/10/10/bombshell-cia-agent-claims-obama-kille...
Isn't it awfully strange that his latest book, and subsequent game that came out after his death dealt with Operation Dark Winter - where a Bioterrorist attack hits America.
This 'game plot' is awfully accurate in what will really happen if Ebola gets out of control : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8LLVLJd-WM
The word on the street is there is massive supression of Ebola cases currenly and the Alex types are talking daily that CDC are disappearing people at the border.
After the 2014 election some surmise this is all going to come out, and they will switch to Medical Martial Law once the infections hit 40 states, with Police/Military vaccination checkpoints with UN troops on US soil to acclimitize everybody to international troops inside the United States.
The Phoenix Air Gulfstream jet was used to transport "rendition" people before the Ebola crisis. I would bet my last dollar on it.
@cnmcdee- While I agree that Ebola is an orchestrated event, your link about Tom Clancy is comical. I am not saying he was not intentionally rubbed out by someone, but the fact you site "Dr." Jim Garrow makes me question your credibility. Garrow is a fraud and has been outed previously. He never worked for the CIA, he is not a doctor, nor was he nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. The guy is a classic dsinformation agent who has made inaccurate prediction after inaccurate prediction. The FED has more credibility than him.
my roomate's half-sister makes $68 every hour on the laptop . She has been fired for five months but last month her pay was $19864 just working on the laptop for a few hours. pop over here... www.Yelptrade.com
Shut the fuck up you goddamn cocksucker.
Your roomate's half-sister has an amazing rack and deserves the money she makes for showing it off online!
That's more than she charged me to put it in her ass. Must have been an off day for her.
So the panic has begun. I seem to recall Americans bought extra school desks during the cold war, duct tape after 9/11, and now this. We know it's not the Home of the Free already. Now we can pretty assuredly say it ain't the Land of the Brave, either.
i here ya. I bought a shitload of extra computers just before Y2K. Can't be too careful..
I did buy a few bottles of bleach and a spray bottle - is that overreacting?
I got Claymores for all my windows, so...no.
The US gov't seems to think sending combat troops to West Africa will help in the fight against Ebola, so maybe claymores is a good idea. My search for a couple rpg's begins.
Being careful not to kill yourself and all your loved ones, thru no fault of your own aside from getting on the wrong plane... isn't the opposite of being Brave. In the face of a medical calamity, exposing oneself unnecessarily... is foolish.
I actually bought a box of surgical gloves for the girls at work.
We ran out, use them for counting cash...which is a filthy business (God knows where it's been). I'd like them to keep showing up.
1 million suits isn't a panic.
It may a big backlog for Lakeland, but in the larger scheme of things it is a drop in the bucket in terms of preparation. How many staff (doctors/nurses/janitors/EMTs for transit) does it take to treat a single ebola patient 24x7 for 21 days? Furthermore, the suits are not infinitely reusable (and unless CDC/OSHA has changed protocols - the suits should be single-use/disposable.) There are about 5,700 registered hospitals in the US, and healthcare workers come in sizes S,M,L,XL, and North American Land Whale...
Even if Lakeland only sold to US customers- 1,000,000 million suits probably only adds 1 to 2 ebola patients of coverage/depth when distributed across the US healthcare system (and only if the Obola administration is being incredibly efficient with taxpayer dollars).
It's more like budgets are going exponential. Need something to justify it since China and Russia don't want to play cowboys and indians with us.
#QEbola
I was going to say the same. It's easy to order more when you're paying with other people's money.
Hopefully they're getting a volume discount, otherwise that's over a billion dollars in hazmat suits.
You know they're not.
Who do you think is buying those $7,000 flights to Liberia?
why would they possibly want to negotiate a discount, when they are probably buying shares in the company right before placing the order?
So blue is the new black
Yeah, well...stay away from open flames with that thing...otherwise your blue is the new black and so are you.
Long shop vac's.
Unless the government is going to spray us all with ebola, it's not really a medical problem in the US. India, sure, Rural humid regions of China, sure. The US, not really.
There still is no hard evidence of ebola other than what is being told by the government. If you believe the government, be very afraid. If you distrust the government, set the fear aside and look at the data.
It's also very convenient that a "pandemic" is occurring at the time that the economic numbers globally are faltering. Smoke screen?
You still haven't heard a word about the 1 hour test that the DoD uses, or that the hospital in Dallas HAD, but was prohibited from using... It has a 90% accuracy rate of detecting ebola. Instead, the government is pushing big companies to come up with an assay of their own and throwing money at it. Ignore the left hand. Nothing to see there.
Back to your regularly scheduled progra....PANIC!!!!
Love your user name. I think I've read that book three times. Puts me in the mind to go for four.
Perhaps the Ebola thing is a goomint scare tactic. I do believe that it is.
Yet, there is no denying that the massed illegal immigration has carriers of diseases once considered to be mostly eradicated. Mumps, german measles, scarlet fever are on a big upswing concurrently with the invasion across the undefended borders. The enterovirus was unknown prior to this latest influx.
With that, the people are reasonably demanding enforcement of borders and medical discipline. The centgoo refuses and by neglect is pushing more innoculations for basic protection of the children that parents might not want to have put at risk for the known complications from innoculation. There is a game going on here and I do not know what the angles are. I assume that the goomint is not to be trusted based upon the laughable containment of present. The fecks are doing a good job of stampeding the herd, No?
The last one of these was in 2009 as I recall with Swine Influenza part two. The first one under Fuhrer Ford was a bust and the Obama version two was a complete lie. The clowns in the goomint lie freely, and the Tsar of Ebola is a lobbyist maggot from wayback.
There has to be a punchline to this sometime soon and it will surprise many.

"Do not worry."
Buy some stocks.
Watch some NBA, NFL, & save for retirement.
Calm down. 3 million suites are needed in total for the 1%. Nothing to worry about.
If need be, you can always 3D print your own suit.
I wonder how many people who purchased the suit have given any thought to how to properly put on the suit, or remove it without infecting themselves, or even stocked up on decontamination products?
If things go totally mad, people who are ill from this might want to "coax" people out of these suits and have them join the party.
Today I picked up a 5lb box of ‘Super Select Shock Treatment’. It’s a five pack pool shock.
This box states ‘super’ so it must be better than regular “Shock ‘N Swim”.
Once the grid goes down and the need comes, I won’t be able to look up the formula for human consumption.
My local big box has N95 3M Drywall Sanding Respirator (2-Pack).
Should I load up for the panic? Cash Money.
NO.
N95 won't help too much in close proximity.
N100 is the best.
See the chart here:
http://www.EbolaReady.com
Just before the fury got going I bought up plenty of respirators of N95-N100 for my employees. I do realize that this is not any sort of complete protection but they will be handy for travel if they are on board with a common cold spewer up to whatever. Without what I supply them they have nothing. Besides they can always sell them at the airport.
I also bought Tyvek suits and such for rather low prices. 8.50 per suit with integral booties and hood and 8.00 for the N100 respirator and the goggles are on them. I figure that less than twenty dollars is worth it to have for my employees as a first defense. They can do a little something for themselves too.
Where's the holster?
They know something we don't?
Or was an over-enthusiastic salesman involved?
An over-cautious, easily-panicked order clerk?
While we're on the subject, how old are those FEMA coffins now?
Glad I bought in at $12.60
That's nothing. We're going to start giving away a free camera with every Fujifilm FLU shot you get to treat Ebola
Get ready for them to start pushing completely unproven non-related vaccines as potential cures for Ebola. What a coincidence just in time for winter. Well just get your FLU shot and you'll be covered for Ebola too
They're going to poison us for profit any way they can

One man's misery is another's joy. Let's ALL wear them so nobody feels stigmatized.
On second thoughts no, i'm waiting for Wally Street to turn up to work wearing one.
That would be cool if everyone started wearing these things, especially rich people.
I'm reminded of Letterman's schtick with throwing crap off buildings, watermelons, cans of paint, lightbubs was pretty good if I remember rightly.
Then if we could get some decent angles from drone-cams, and coud convince some of these bankers that seem in such a hurry to off themselves(before actually telling the American public what in particular they feal so guilty about)(and can actually afford these get-ups) that it's better to give your body to Art than Science, then I think we can beat Ebola.
..."if everyone started wearing these things" ... They'll have to remove them when they enter shops and parliament house. But they'll be allowed to keep wearing their burkhas. Put the burkha on first. You're allowed to wear whatever you like underneath that.
From The West Australian (old fashioned paper newspaper) 28th October 2014, p4:
"A man in a niquab, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet and a man in a Ku Klux Klan garb walk into a building."
The motorcycle helmet and Klan hat had to be removed before entering the building. The niquab-wearer had to "verify their identity" once inside. I haven't tried looking for a web-copy of the article.

The Ebola Story Doesn’t Smell Right
Paul Craig Roberts
The federal government has announced that thousands of additional US soldiers are being sent to Liberia. General Gary Volesky said the troops would “stamp out” ebola.
The official story is that combat troops are being sent to build treatment structures for those infected with ebola.
Why combat troops? Why not send a construction outfit such as an engineer battalion if it has to be military? Why not do what the government usually does and contract with a construction company to build the treatment units? “Additional thousands of troops” results in a very large inexperienced construction crew for 17 treatment units. It doesn’t make sense.
Stories that don’t make sense and that are not explained naturally arouse suspicions, such as: Are US soldiers being used to test ebola vaccines and cures, or more darkly are they being used to bring more ebola back to the US?
I understand why people ask these questions. The fact that they will receive no investigative answer will deepen suspicions.
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/10/29/ebola-story-doesnt-smell-righ...
Perhaps "treatment structures" = flame throwers. Tell me again, how do the natives combat Ebola?
Disclaimer: In this matter I am truly ignorant and my guesses purely speculative. I only "know" the little I have read.
Rumor has it they're fighting the Chinese.
"...Why combat troops? Why not send a construction outfit such as an engineer battalion if it has to be military?..."
They are. They can't 'just' send an engineer battalion because it's more complicated than that.
Six month deployemnt for 3000 troops:
1. 'Treatment unit' sounds like a big, inflatable tent. The 17 treatment units are actually 100-bed hospital facilities with many tents, electricity, water, some type of sewers and infectious waste treatment, hardened supply storage (it's West Africa), kitchen, morge/burial equip, etc. Not as fleshed out as a typical 100-bed field hospital, but far more than a big, inflatable ebola fun-house. A dozen semi-trailers of stuff for each one. First up is a more full-fleged 100-bed hospital designated to treat any doctors and heathcare workers that become infected.
2. 'Dozens' of Seabees out their now doing site prep and foundations
3. A couple dozen in Sengal setting up a trasport hub
4. First 'big' deployment: 1,400 soldiers.
Later: 44th Medical Brigade
5. The rest
"...Why not do what the government usually does and contract with a construction company to build the treatment units?..."
Even Haliburton needs many months to plan their taxpayer-draining scams. They have to pass on this one. The Army is the right choice, and they're still going to need to use local contractors for lots of stuff.
“...Additional thousands of troops” results in a very large inexperienced construction crew for 17 treatment units. It doesn’t make sense..."
Actually I'm surprised they ONLY need 3000 troops for 17 field hospitals and will be able to do this in six months.
"...Are US soldiers being used to test ebola vaccines and cures, or more darkly are they being used to bring more ebola back to the US?..."
They shouldn't need to be vaccinated - they're not swapping spit with the natives or eatin' the monkey meat. Their biggest risk there is probably contracting malaria.
"they're not swapping spit with the native"
Don't bet on it.
Paul Craig Roberts sounds like he's been sitting in a dark room by himself for way too long.
Most often the answer to these things isn't conspiracies, which require a modicum of competence, but just typical incompetence. Much less exiciting to read about than conspiracies.
Yeah.... but is Gartman short LAKE? That's what I want to know!
I wonder about the lack of weekly updates on the number of Americans supposedly being CDC-monitored. Either they are being disappeared, or this whole fiasco is a fake distraction from .gov's next big power move.
Agreed, it's too quiet on the Ebola front. Either the initial hype was unwarranted which is supported by the lack of mass death in West Africa, or TPTB are in full fledged "truth" control to avoid potential mass panic here and not every new case is being reported .
Fron 10k infections to 14k in 5 days. . . That's too quiet?
I reckon the .gov just can't count that fast.
Its about time... its already on the decline in Liberia, time to go full retard Stateside.
1 million suits. That probably marks the top of the Ebola crisis.
Makes me wonder how many face masks were sold during the bird flu crisis. Hazmats suits are certainly a step up though.
Face masks, Hazmat suits, perhaps the next crisis will need an order of a million .... ummm, ummm, ... MRAPS???
Full body condom profiteer strikes it rich during the DC US' Ebola FUD of 2014.
When this fake shit passes, I'll buy a bunch in "surplus," and then sell them to new fathers for "diaper duty."

One million Class 4 Bioweapons Safety Suits is good news for care givers
in North America. The unions will be pleased at least and hospital staff will be relieved to know they are being purchased. Containment is not guaranteed without these suits IMHO. These suits reduce risk associated with care. Millions more will likely be needed by the end of Feb 2015.
Ain't government grand?
Will it get to the point of people going on a Picnic, got the bread, the butter. Oh No we forgot the Hazmat suits, we have to go back.
I saw the photos of the Chinese wearing all them face masks during the bird flu crisis. Or was that just to combat smog?
If you come near me wearing that suit I'm going to cut it open.
I do not just not care what it costs, your delusion of security costs you my advantage too.
"I'm wearing a blue suit, this diseased heathen might not last long enough. Ow ow urghhh"
Are these suits resistant to that nasty 00-buck strain?
Or slugs?
I find it a bit odd that the HazMat suit maker is spiking on huge orders but the only company with 100% success on the treatment front is getting slammed on the market the last couple of weeks. The MSM is busy saying the administration has "got this" and that nobody need to panic, yet makes huge orders for suits and other containment materials. The only drug ever mentioned is Zmapp which is 5 for 7 on saving people and one of the company principles is on YouTube stating the world needs at least a 20% population reduction. Mean while due to the fact there is no more Zmapp they choose to hunt for Chimerix's adenovirus drug that was not even devised for Ebola, to treat Dr. Bowlalot. The administration has picked their winners in the Ebola fight, LAKE, Zmapp and Chimerix and flushed everybody else regardless of the effectiveness of their cures. Maybe 100% cure rate is not what they are looking for?
Excellent observations.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste."
Zmapp does not have a 100% "cure" rate, and that's before taking account that it is being used in conjunction with with survivor's blood.
How about Advil® in conjunction with ebola survivor's blood? It's probably a lot cheaper and could be just as effective. Then again there is also the hundreds of thousands of dollars per day in critical care services, that are problematic to replicate on a large scale.
Zmapp could actually be 0% effective, given the significance of current data.
Advil, how do you get the registered trademark symbol? I just tried and my autocomplete doesn't catch it.
The latin-1 supplement characterset on my computer (and the kcharselect package/program, MicroSofty OS's probably use charmap), but any utf-8 characterset based on a latin text should have it and the ZH servers should be able to display it.
Wait until NY rats have it, then you will see some American ghost cities.
Can it be spread by rats? If so that is a scary proposition.
Interesting; When he said "NY rats" I immediately thought of humans!
It made sense to me and then apu123 made me think about; "What IF?"
If the day has not arrived, the day is coming. Could you imaging something like Ebola spread by fleas, ticks, roaches and or anything of the sort. How about that wonderful mosquito?
Bed Bugs anyone?
And the congresscritter infestation.
Bout time we have a new style of clothing. And useful too.
Swear to budda, if someone said bug farts are going to save you from the fear blah-blah that is propagated better than love and light is, silly-Willie-frillie profiteers and fear based stupid people that prolly also vote for the same old blarney trash incumbent politicians over and over again, would all be out milking bug butts for the precious, oh most precious gonna save yer life, faloofin-hymer fartinzee.
Mmmmm...yeah.
Hey!
Rocks are worth a ka-jillion bazooka bucks and the traders choice of the future. Get them while you can, before there is no moar!
Why bother voting in a country that can not prove the voting process is valid, and trustworthy. America is country where the little person has no voice in govt any moar.

In the 'home of the brave' there seems to be an awfully lot of scared people.
You think General Patton or John Wayne would have been ordering one of these suits?
Well the Duke might have bought a couple. John Wayne missed serving in WWII although of draft age. If fact, he never spent one day in uniform, ever. A lot of impressionable kids who saw his war movies went out and joined up and are now sleeping in the cemeteries. There is that.
Those are Halloween costume orders. Nothing to worry about.

"Jerusalem is the dwelling place of many Archons." -Apocryphon of John, Gnostic codice 100 AD
Want some spooky Halloween reading? Read the 2100 year old Gnostic texts referring to "Archons" which roughly translates to dark rulers, demons or dimensional predators. Gnostics believed that Archons sought to control man through duplicating reality, trickery and mimicry. The terms Archon and Monarch have the same root. Muhahahaha!
Additionally spooky, the Gnostics, who apparently ran the library of Alexandria (and many affiliated universities), were completely wiped out by church purges and we all know what happened to the library. Gnostics were never to be heard from again until Dec 1947 when their clay codices were discovered 40 miles south of the Great Pyramid in Nag Hammadi Egypt. Muhahaha!
Gnostics warned that the Archons will continue to make war on man because they detest our divine qualities, abilities to reason and manifest through imagination. All of this Gnostic myth is fine and dandy until you read the discription of the two physical forms that the Archons occasionally take....... Muhahahaha! Translations available all over the place, not a lot of discrepancy in them.

I wonder whom the government bought 160,000 Hazmat suits for? Only for public sector employees? What about us?
