Except the problem with that cartoon is, the CDC Director's "science" sucks balls.
This guy has been right on top of Ebola, and unmasking the clowns at CDC and the Obama administration http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/
Replace "Science" with "What our lawers and PR directors tell us to say."
America did not used to have this avertion to science. It is a fairly recent thingie.
The President will repeat his treasonous lie this Saturday, for the third week running

I have watched 2-3 interviews with people from companies that have developed quick blood tests. The science and approach the CDC is peddling is crap and politically motivated. Anything politically motivated sucks eggs and is convoluted, ineffective and 99% wrong.
"quick blood tests"
Practically instant, highly portable, cheap, and not FDC approved.
By not fda approved i assume you mean "not made by anyone who pays politicians to lobby for them" and "no bags of unmarked bills have changed hands with the right people"
Who told those great unwashed to use their common sense instead of our Political Science?
As one of the Ruling Elite, I demand they all panic on my phony Global Warming "science" but do nothing at all to protect themselves from a deadly Ebola pandemic because that same "science" says there is no way anyone else can catch it!
Especially not trained Ebola healthcare workers in full hazmat suits. Oh wait...
in WWZ, the breakout happened in Newark.
Wasn't it China or India? Someone was testing something and it got out of hand.
Don't be like Hollyweird and think everything starts and ends here.
The director has mroe credibility than the CDC which has lied to us REPEATEDLY about the means of transmission, told us you could give EBola on a bus but not catch it on a bus, and told a nurse exposed to patient zero who had a fever and CALLED them asking if she could fly that yes, she was fine to fly. The CDC is making the IRS look competent.
And Maine keeping the nurse who repeatedly tested NEGATIVE for the Ebola virus quarantined in her home with State Police outside making sure she goes nowhere - while New York let the infected doctor go bowling and take the subway.
There seems to be no common sense or consistent message about any of it.
Seems to be going as planned for them. No one is complaining about the CIA / Mossad backed Caliphate creating ISIS and the ongoing prop up the petrodollar campaign.
Winning!!! / sarc
At this point what does it matter? We did create that.(ISIS) You did not even get the job you have without us. Feel better about TPTB?
And we all know ebola tests are 100% accurate. How about she's still in the incubation period of 42 days(not 21 as the dipshits in the media present -- 42 days is the 98% confidence level of non-infection). She spiked a 103 degree fever FFS. Prudence dictates a little caution. And you're making it seem like she's locked up in an iron maiden. She was skyping talk shows in her PJs and bunny slippers. I know, how dare they inconvenience her. She is a millenial and all.
As for the sacred "science" of the CDC. FYI, Dr. Friedman is the architect of the Big Gulp ban in NYC. Just saying. Inconsistency from short bus bureaucrats shouldn't negate the seriousness of this disease.
And what is the common denominator between Nurse self-absorbed and Dr. Bowling Pin. Dipshits Doctors without Borders. No way these fuckers are wriggling off the hook for their ineptitude.
dupe
testing negative just means the virus is not active. Asymptomatic and a negative test is still not conclusive. That's why the 21 days isolation.
Blood Test For Ebola Doesn't Catch Infection Earlyhttp://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/10/28/359567808/blood-test-for-ebol...
Right but if the blood tests are so quick and simple, they can do one every day for 21 days or however many are necessary. Simply test each day before leaving the house.
I have a feeling that the limiting factor is cost more than anything.
Strange,,
Reminds me of that time I fell asleep in the barn.
I had a strange dream,I was dancing with a whale...
When I woke up the cow had eaten my pants...
But that happens to everyone,,,Right??
Not everybody wakes up.
My first wife was a cow.
And the second one a sheep? LOL, just jerking your chain..
Only in Mississippi. BTW, I lol'd!
If I had a nickel for every time that happened...
Tom Clancy was killed by the CIA - any quick google query will reveal the retired agent that passed this information on.
But why? - The guy writes patriot military books - until you read the plot of his latest book The Division and Operation Dark Winter - which details a coming plague outbreak inside the CONUS caused during Black Friday the day everybody goes shopping for savings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSWHS6CKS_4
Coincidentally Black Friday will come November 28th, 2014, after the election and could very well see the very plot that Tom Clancy talk about come to fruition. Considering that Phoenix Airlines began retrofitting it's airplanes to handle Ebola patients in 2011 (how did they know) we see a perfect plot unfolding with unlimited deniability and the ability to get the public to beg for Martial law.
Conspiracy sites all over are abuzz with information that the US Government is covering up cases all over the place - until they are ready to flip the trigger and get the Kenyan Con Man implement 'Emergency Police Powers' or 'Medical Martial Law'
I can see it now...

This ain't directed at you, or anyone else in particular, but it does capture the sentiment, no?
I certainly believe there are a lot of cases being covered up. ButI think it's before the election. The shitstain that is Obama cannot damage anymore democrat candidates with his feckless ignorant policies so they are hiding a lot. I only hope that Reggie has contacted some heavy duty ebola and shot one up barry's worthless punk ass
cnmcdee - I was on a helicopter carrier in the Med. when his "Hunt for Red October" came out. I remember talking to some submariners about the book and they said that everything in his book technically was accurate. He was later investigated by NIS / FBI regarding his knowledge of "silent" propeller drives (i.e. no cavitation). Clancy said that he had gotten all of his info. from Jane's (military guide books). It was always suspected that he had inside sources at the Pentagon. I am sure that he was "nail gunned".
I think that you could have put some Zombie Muppets in there and it would have been very funny.
I'll tell you what's funny.
The ebola scare now appears to be subsiding: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29822303
Surprise... surprise... no mention of that on ZH news.
This ebola thing could be....
1. Fear mongering to keep the sheeple constantly scared, terrified of something, lest we start to question our masters.
2. Marketing of a new disease, creating a need for new drugs and vaccines, resulting in huge profits for monopolistic industries like Big Pharma
3. Culling the population while experimenting on the rest.
4. All of the above
I hope it's just 1 and 2.
The answer is to quarantine people in the African countries that are having the outbreaks. They could do this by requiring exit visas for non-US citizens and special entry visas or special permission that would require tests, proof of quarantine, etc. This should be a matter of course, at the minimum, for all health care workers who have been working with ebola patients. Measures should be taken BEFORE allowing potentialy infected people to get on flights destined for the US. The fact that government agencies are continuing to allow people in, when it would be so much more effective, so much cheaper, to deal with this problem there, makes me wonder what else they're up to. There just has to be another agenda.
And, the fact that everyone seems to be focusing only on what should be done when these infected people are here, just makes no logical sense. It's like starting to look for bombs while an airplane is already in flight or arriving at it's destination. We have all the legislation necessary to do this, yet this is not seriously considered. Everything they tell us as to why they are not doing this, sounds like a lie.
It is a lie: The whole fkn thing. The Liberians don't believe it either. They think the "health workers" sent there are deliberately infecting them via injection of dengue disguised as an ebola vaccine.
I've read reports of villagers killing the "health workers" and experiencing a dramatic drop in new cases of 'ebola'.
I'm fully aware that the stuff I read on the web might be absolute bullshit.
I'm also aware that any and all info presented by MSM IS absolute bullshit.
Sad.
You know, I have just realized the dramatic effect that Charles M. Schultz had on my perception of things.
Just now, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is playing on the tv (abc).
I always thought that shit was cute, and it was... but there's a much deeper message embedded within it.
Schroeder would have been an Obama voter.

We've been lucky.
Wait until this hits the drug addict American community, the gay blades, da ghetto, or just a hospital that isn't really expecting it. A trend is not destiny.
Earlier today I read an article that stated they had compared records of 44 African Ebola patients and have discovered that age seems to have a direct bearing on lethality: An overall 74% mortality rate was found; however, 57% of persons under the age of 21 died, 94% of those over the age of 45 died. I just thought that might be of interest to some of us here.

While everyone has been looking at the exponential increase in cases, nobody has
explained why the R0 factor is higher than flu.
Flu is R=1.3, ebola is between 1.4 and 1.8. dependent on how you smooth the data.
But the CDC know everything about ebola ?
Bollocks.
Not sure why you are using Influenza as a benchmark, other than that it is familiar and airborne. Poliovirus (not airborne) epidemics of yore sported much higher R0 (5-7). The R0 statistic only makes sense in the context of a specific virus/strain, environment (locale, population) and cultural circumstances (density, mobility, as well as sanitary and preventative measures) for a given outbreak. Also, when the estimated value is so low, it is usually dwarfed by the standard deviation making it very hard to compare to other outbreaks based on the mean value alone.

The "science" sure as hell is not at the CDC. Those people are clueless. Just TODAY they grew a brain and then announced "droplets from a sneeze can spread Ebola". NO SHIT.
Science and Religion are more compatible than Science and Government.
Very much agree. When you listen to the experts who have worked with Ebola, it sounds very different than what the CDC is saying. When you read a few journal articles researching Ebola, you find the CDC is full of shit. It's been driving me crazy that those who are listening to Obama (no medical background), the Ebola Czar (a fucking lawyer) and the head of the CDC (claim to fame is telling others how much transfat and cola they can have) act like those who disagree have no idea of the actual science.
Why would anyone listen to the Govt.that created the virus in the first place?
Eating monkey meat...
Hahahaha.
Them bojos over there have been eating monkeymeat since they were first cousins but now, all of a sudden, it's a problem?
Right.
No, just no understanding of simple probability. But I support your right to be scared shitless anyway.
I call your simple probability and raise an exponential function.
Just look for the guy with a clip board and no hazmat suit
"Directors", I was thinking more along the lines of puppet masters.
irrelevant.
One last time. Here is my cover of the Oak Ridge Boys Elvira as a parody - EBOLA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyjmKFTIu9c&list=UUINpD3t4T3ljqSdRlcpdDEA
It really wasn't funny at all, I want my 10 seconds back :)
ZH perilously close to jumping the shark. Zombie movies are based on human experience with real-life pandemics. The CDC is more like a chicken with its head cut off.
Both are movie narratives
that thing with Christie yesterday where he told a heckler to shut (the fuck) up, does anyone else think that was a PR stunt for Christie to look presidential?
If he can read the shadow government's script from a teleprompter then he can look presidential.
Hell, if he can drive a golf cart with 2 secret service guys then he can look presidential.
So when does art imitate life again?

Get back in your mud hole, Hadji! We have to do another take.
I don't want to diminish the severity of ebola but I do ask the question: Does anyone remember just before O's first inauguration, the country was all aflutter because the CDC told us there was going to be a flu pandemic that winter, and that everyone had to get vaccinated?
In my little jerkwater town, they even set up vaccination stations in the local elementary school gym. I think the motivation then was to set the stage for the Gov't lackeys to start the Obamacare wheels in motion. To me this seems like the same thing, but maybe with a different end goal and to a much larger scale. What that end goal could be I can only guess.
We'll all be asking in six months time what all the fuss was about that virus thingy.
I sincerely hope so.But something about this is getting past my cynisism filters.
While this may have been a planned psyop, I think they have lost control
of the situation, much like their ISIS stooges.
Remember the swine flu? The bird flu? SARs? Ancient history already and those were only a few years ago.
Does anyone remember the Swine Flu FUD of 2009?

It has gotten so bad in SoCal that the news is reporting that public libraries are now set up for flu shots.
During my recent doctor visit for an unrelated condition, the nurse must have mentioned "FLU SHOT" about ten times. I smiled and said maybe next time.
I simply list an egg allergy.
put all disease, morbidity and mortality in historic context
with relation to man's knowledge base and technology and
tell me what is the appropriate amount of concern regarding
ebola. obviously, it all depends on your location, etc.
.
on the bright side, it is a wonderful opportunity for the
politically connected to stock up and steal more from the
treasury with no oversight regarding their purchases and
contacts/contracts. that is why we need a czar for this
shit; to make sure that science and fair policies that should
be in place don't interfere with the graft, kickbacks and
inside distribution of government contracts and purchases.
the administration is attempting to follow the m.chertoff
model that worked so well with the airport scanning purchases.
.
the current reaction to ebola is as if we have no historic
experience or theory of germs, microorganisms or viruses.
it would be funny if it weren't so dangerous a scam.
.
bio weapons are another matter. i thought there was a death
penalty for that and the like? but who will/would/could prosecute?
.
there is an unspoken rationalization associated with all politics
that goes like this .." you must tolerate the graft, lies and
deceptions, increasingly obvious and degenerate, to accomplish
the desired affect of the program of the political objective/ambition."
you see it everywhere in public discourse and operation,
especially in in the media, government and finance.
it is horseshit and the low road to entire loss of integrity,
the one thing no people or person can survive.
in fact, the money system/(s) demands it, that is the problem.
same old ......
BP Oil Spill, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, etc. etc., still the same cover up and denial
are we in full hysteria mode yet, can i abandon
my mind entirely? soon?
Indeed, "science" should read "post normal science".
Google it. It is real and taught in school. "scientific method", "reason" are just passe thinking of dead white oppressors.
"Frieden" and "science" should not be used in the same sentence. Or cartoon.
If the CDC actually used science, I'd agree. Instead, it's "move along, nothing to see here" (first ebola can't spread through the atmosphere, then it can, but only by three feet, and finally it can by 15+ feet!), or "people are just stupid sheep and can't handle the truth". So we're stuck with two extremes - the government lies to us (yet again) and the fear mongers want us to believe that "the sky is falling"! The truth? Beat ebola like they used to beat the measles and small pox 75 years ago - quarantine those infected, incenerate any contaminated materials, and leave the rest in God's hands.
Science? Like the science that said Ebola wouldn't come to the USA? And the science that said it was contained and then it spread to two more people?
Ebola subsiding?
..staff battle a disease whose victims outpace the number of beds being built
...Every ambulance is now an Ebola ambulance in Sierra Leone’s capital
“We’ve moved from one or two cases a day to more than 30 cases a day in Freetown, and by next month maybe we will be getting 60, 70, 80 positive cases a day, so that 100-bed unit in Kerry Town will be full in 48 hours,” he says.
....1,300 Ebola calls a day.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/30/ebola-sierra-leone-fight-wh...
I don't know why people are getting a touch nervous...
They only had one case in Sierra Leone not too long ago.
the Guardian article is good; thanks
Raconteur report certainly has not been 'on top of' the epidemic. He overstates every fact, over-extends every conclusion of anyone, is himself really nonlinear, much as he expects this disease to spread everywhere.
Facts are that Ebola isn't that infective. So far in the US, nobody has caught Ebola from anything except medical contact with a very sick individual.
Fact is, in this AM's paper, the infection rate in Libera is declining. If a 3rd world country can begin to control it via public health measures, education, and people making good decisions, I rather think the US can do so also.
Further, Ebola is not the type of pandemic to fear : a flu would be that. Every army begins a war unprepared, losses are heavy. If the army doesn't have veterans of other wars, losses will be very heavy. Dallas Presbyterian was an example of that.
We should be sending as many medical people as possible to Africa and importing as many patients here as possible. Great PR, but the kind of training a lot of will die without, given the next 1918 pandemic flu.
And no matter how much aid we send to Africa to end this epidemic, it will cost less than the first 100 cases from contacts here in the US. We save ourselves by saving them.
Every decision should be subordinated to those points : stopping travel is really stupid for the goal of ending the epidemic in Africa, for example. And it won't help much to just end travel from Ebola areas, someone will have been lovers with someone from an Ebola area on a cruise liner, will return to the US. So we have to end all travel. 'World-wide very major depression' is the phrase that comes to my mind when thinking about that.
Is that you Barrack ?
Political Scientists know they're not really scientists, right?
It just sounds better than Political Sponge.
