Ebola-Infected Doctor Dies In Nebraska Medical Center
While a month ago there was non-stop newsflow surrounding any Ebola-case transfer from West Africa to the US, the newly appointed Ebola czar Ron Klain has so far shown a stunning ability to mute media reports of any ongoing developments surrounding the deadly disease. Which is why virtually nobody was aware that on Saturday a surgeon, who contracted Ebola while treating patients in Sierra Leone, Dr. Martin Salia, 44, has been transferred to the Nebraska Medical Center which had previously successfully treated two other Ebola patients this fall. Sadly, this time it failed, and moments ago it was reported that Salia passed away from the deadly disease.
As CBS reports, after "Salia arrived in Omaha, his ambulance to the hospital was accompanied by a single Nebraska State Patrol cruiser and a fire department vehicle - a subdued arrival in contrast to the August delivery of Dr. Rick Sacra, whose ambulance was flanked by numerous police cars, motorcycles and fire vehicles." As expected, because as previously reported, Klain's main priority since ascending to the Ebola throne, has been to hush as much as possible any Ebola-related developments on US soil.
Salia had been working as a general surgeon at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. It's not clear whether he was involved in the care of Ebola patients. Kissy is not an Ebola treatment unit, but Salia worked in at least three other facilities, United Methodist News said, citing health ministry sources.
What is once again most disturing, is that Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who lives in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus. Just like the first Ebola casuality on US soil, he eventually tested positive on Monday only after his symptoms had escalated materially, leading many to wonder just what is the incidence of false negatives when testing for Ebola.
More:
The U.S. State Department said it helped facilitate the transfer of Salia; the U.S. Embassy in Freetown said he paid for the expensive evacuation. The travel costs and care of other Ebola patients flown to the U.S. have been covered by the groups they worked for in West Africa.
Salia's wife, Isatu Salia, said in a telephone interview that when she spoke to her husband early Friday his voice sounded weak and shaky. But he told her "I love you" in a steady voice, she said.
The two prayed together, and their children, ages 12 and 20, are coping, Isatu Salia said, calling her husband "my everything."
Sierra Leone is one of the three West Africa nations hit hard by an Ebola epidemic this year. Five other doctors in Sierra Leone have contracted Ebola, and all have died.
Our condolences to Salia's family as we now revert to the near-media blackout surrounding any future Ebola cases on US soil, and await imminent (well-paid) studies from Dr. Jonathan Gruber how there is nothing at all to be concerned about regarding Ebola.

RIP
rest in Peace Dr Salia
Exactly what can they do in Nebraska that they can't do anywhere else?
Can we please stop bringing diseased people into the US?
Is it me or are people of African descent dying at a higher rate than non-African descent?
It's you. Your eyes are playing tricks on you. Now go back to sleep and try not to notice these things.
Africans lack a major anti-viral gene. This virus is designed to exploit that fact.
Yep.
This is normal and exactly how level IV virus are handled these days.
Can anyone believe a fucking word of what is called news today?
Somethings gonna pop soon... We have to be near peak retardation.
Does that grinning old ice cream cone licker have a problem with Blacks? Is there a ghetto in Omaha?
Why is E-Bola being moved into that area?
What is better than having a living or recently deceased human petri dish to study?
Risking all our lives to turn a buck I'd wager....
each patient casts 500000$ to treat, in other words each hospital get 500000$ for putting us all at risk.
When I review all these matters I always ask, "who benefits?" cui bono?
Is there some secret payoff to a hospital from the NIH or other government agency to study this disease and how it develops, reacts to drugs, progresses? Especially since it mutates with great velocity.
Why else, other than depopulation, risk bringing these patients here?
An impulse control gene is also lacking. A decision is expected in Ferguson today, see that genetic trait in action.
Funny if somehow EBOLA broke out amongst that Ferguson population? Perhaps as a very special way to place that area under some type of quarantine?
Hmmmm.
Yea, been waiting for that lie. The fearless Baghdadi, leader of ISIS will deliver it himself.
Either way, it's a fine place to test some flame throwers.
To get the most out of a monster cock (which is mentioned daily here on ZH), you really want less impulse control AND IQ. Perhaps dick size is genetically coded to be inversely proportional to impulse control and IQ.
This would explain why Asians are very intelligent, commit crime at a relatively low rate, but have micropenises.
Are you a scientist?
Flawless logic. And here we have a most powerful argument against Common Core.
My question is how can we apply this principle to (1) Obama and (2) Hillary Clinton?
"Africans lack a major anti-viral gene. This virus is designed to exploit that fact."
Please provide reference(s), if possible.
If some are asking the serious question whether there are immunity differences between African and Caucasian cases, then the serious answer is: We may not have the enough data for Caucasian cases, to make reliable statistical conclusions (because N=small), and the stats get more complicated by the fact that many die in Africa because they cannot get the same level of Intensive Care (in an ICU) as a few isolated cases in the West do.
If some here are asking the question whether there are immunity differences between African and Caucasian cases, because they are smart asses, then my answer is: If you and your like-minded friends would volunteer, we could get more reliable statistical inferences.
Yes ,Kirk.
I would only add that we don't know what, if anything, has prevented an outbreak in the States.
The Traitor in Chief is certainly trying.
Did someone mention a dataset being too small to draw stat sig conclusions? RUSH THIS THOUGHT over to the global warming freaks.
The crack negates the effects of the anti-viral agents. Is that along the lines of what you were looking for?

Probably not. There is a genetic adaptation in (some?) black Africans which protects them against malaria, but at the same time is responsible for sickle-cell.
That said, I am pretty sure that whites can die from Ebola just like anyone else, but the the people treated in the US were caught much earlier.
I think a more important story here is how the Ebola new has pretty well been quashed.
For the record, Africans have the most diversified Regional Gene Pool.
We should call around for a Virologist and/or NBC Warfare Guru to comment on how Ebola came to be. We know that this bug's been around for 40 or so years; but the Pharmas/Biotechs were slow on taking on remedies since there wasn't much money to be made from treating the afflicted - who mostly happened to be Poor.
That seems to be the Fracking Problem here - Leave a Virus running amok for years w/o any remedies; and eventually - it may be spread carelessly across Continents and/or mutate into something that may cause major problems down the road.
Kinda like BSE; but instead of dumbass Farmers and Feedstock Makers, we're dealing with Kumba-Yah Missionary/NGO Medics w/o Borders and Public Health Officials who are taking Half-Assed Measures in order to avoid rational and strict Quarantine practices.
The white missionaries brought back here for treatment and the white NY doctor who came back to the US infected were able to get treated EARLY.
Mr. Duncan and the doctor who died today were in the more advanced stages of the disease.
sample size too small
if this gets out of hand and government loses control, it may become widely believed that it is mainly transmitted by blacks. Then what, president fuckhead? Was that part of the maximum importation plan? Remember that they floated the idea of making the us (their words) the 'medical backstop' for ebola for health care workers the world over.
Next comes a european, then a bunch of them, then a bunch of Africans. Because slavery. (?)
No, it isn't you.
You are correct. People of African descent are dying at a (managed) high rate.
Re-read your dog eared copy of "Population Bomb" by Stanford Professor of Population Studies Dr. Paul Ehrlich.
Punch line: "There are too many people on the planet". And really smart people, like Dr. Ehrlich, want large numbers of people to "go away".
Also, refresh your memory regarding Margaret Sanger's predecessor organizaion to "Planned Parenthood". It was a eugenics organization, as Planned Parenthood is.
Remember, Margaret wanted to create "a nation of thoroughbreds" which meant (wink, wink) preferentially aborting plow horses. FYI, the largest proportion of nonviable tissue masses aborted by Margarets for-profit business operations are non-viable tissue masses of African descent.
And then there was the ecologogical superstar, Rachel Carson, who wrote the scientifically dubious "Silent Spring", which stampeded the hormonal "environmentalists" to ban DDT, resulting in epidemics of malaria in . . . Africa which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people! There are a lot of people of African descent living in Africa.
The world is really run by Malthusians who seriously believe that there are way too many people on the planet, and THEY are just the people to do something about it.
And a good place to start to solve the worlds overpopulation problems are primitive, ignorant, third-world societies like ... oh, say ... Africa, India, and China.
Two negative tests before a third positive, with quick death therefater. This strain is mutating.
Yes, every time it jumps a host it mutates. Why they're trying to unleash it in Nebraska is a mystery to me.
Why only color people die (not dye)
racism?
Yes, nasty racist viruses.

Someone has it out for Warren Buffett, which is why they keep sending them to Nebraska
or the test isn't very accurate. Here's a thought, begin therapy when you test a patient and continue for 21 days, especially for high value patients like doctors.
it ain't rocket science fellows, its germs
I recall someone posting here that the test accuracy is 90%.
Don't know how they got this number or how reliable it is, but there might be your explanation: if it's only 90%, you need more than one test. For example...
If N = the Number of tests done and each Test has a 90% reliability (R=0.9), then the overall Reliability (R) of all the Tests is: R = 0.9 (1/N)
N vs R
1 0.9000
2 0.9487 (2 Sigma)
3 0.9655
4 0.9744
35 0.9970 (3 Sigma)
Moral: If the Reliability if ONE Test is a "mere" 90%, then you either need to have more tests (takes time and resources), or you need to use your Noggin, i.e. Pay closer attention to the SYMPTOMS and use those as a reliable Co-Indicator of Ebola presence. Clearly 'Merican hospital staff are poorly trained to use their Noggin ("Question everything!"), but are taught to "Follow Procedure, rely on Tests and follow the Chain of Command" -- just so that you and the Hospital can't get sued (successfully).
Something's not right about this disease. I expected high virulency with 100+ infected by now from the Texas nurse and that hasn't happened. Now there's this ebola test returning false negatives. In Africa it was infecting medics in full protective gear, in America it doesn't affect the average nose-picking hygiene deficient Joe sixpack.
I'll be honest. I don't have a fucking clue any more. Imminent outbreak, psyop, high mutation, cover-up, whatever. All and none of them could be happening. It's a disease that appears to be acting in exact accordance with the CDC's press releases.
i like to put a joker into your calcs: mutation.
Bullish for crematoriums.
There is nowhere to run in Nebraska, if anybody escaped containment they would be picked off by Predator drones in under 10 mins. and if everything else failed they could just nuke the whole State and nobody would notice.

Your answer is here. One of only 3 in our great nation.
http://www.nebraskamed.com/biocontainment-unit
Open the flood gates for 'Ebola is racist' or 'doctors don't treat blacks with the same care'.
Happened last time.
The U.S. has 11 beds for treating Ebola patients in four specialized biocontainment facilities: National Insitutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland; Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia; University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, and; St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana.
For quick review:
- Missoula, Montana
- Omaha, Nebraska
- Bethesda, Maryland
- Atlanta, Georgia
That was fast, dying within a week of testing positive for Ebola.
it was his second test, he passed the first one, began showing symptoms and was retested after he was already sick, then they waited a week to bring him to the states. He was here 48 hrs and died. He was on a ventilator and unable to breath on his own, likely died of cardiac arrest caused by Ebola.
"likely died of cardiac arrest caused by Ebola."
If Trav777 was still around, I'm sure that he would have found a way to tie us "Evil Joos" into the good doctors death. We're everywhere, you know....
Fuck Trav.
I'll say it, you ass wipe.
Wanna play "where's Waldo" in this shitstorm? I'll find your "evil joo" , just look at the top...
So, you're not everywhere. Just in key locations.....
The Ebola Czar. Carries your magical chosen mitochondrial DNA.
Asshole. Too easy.
We have no way of knowing how long he had ebola. We only have date(s) for ebola testing.
We also have dates reported for when he began showing symptoms associated with Ebola. Those symptoms were obvious for some number of days before he finally tested positive. By the time he tested positive, he was ill enough to be hospitalized. Google his story. There is information out there.
"There is no lover greater than this, that one man should lay down his life for another."
Guess Im not a lover, I have no intentions for laying down my life for any other schmuck except my kids.
If you ain't got a cure dont go to that place unless you get a kick out of seeing people die.
And do stay the fuck away from my kids, or get ready to be dropped at 100 yards.
hope you never get infected by a communicable disease and need treatment by a health care professional.
Listen Pranky don't give me this sappy BS about healthcare workers etc. Most of the mofos are in it for the money. The ones that are in it for the people are still getting compensated very very well. Make the profession pay as much as an inner city school teacher, then I will hold a candle and say they did it for the people.
I have no respect for an industry that bankrupts more people in the USA than any other cause.
There is a difference between the corporations that run healthcare and the individuals that provide it.
i know several nurses and doctors, they earn the money they make and are entitlted to it.
They also risk their lives to help people, just like firefighters. Do you hate firefighters cause they are paid with your taxes?
you seem more selfish than most, perhaps you should reconsider whether the universe really revolves around you before you leave this world and have to face the fact that you are not indeed the reason the world exists.
I'm ok with that, when I see my maker I will tell him I didnt live my life like or held the views of a guy by the name of 'The Merry Prankster'. I think he'll be more than fine with that.
News for you... it ain't the healthcare professionals getting wealthy.... it's the corporate hospitals... when it comes to layoffs, they lay off RNs and other who are hands on with patients...you will never hear of the the corporate bureaucrats running those behemoth bureaucracies getting laid off or taking pay cuts. A friend's wife needs a brain MRI every year and had her most recent one at the hospital. Their hospital bill $4500. Another friend went to the ER for back pain and got an MRi and got a hospital bill for $11000. In an office setting, the brain MRi would have been $800 and the back pain office visit would be $150 with an office setting MRI of $450.
Complicit with the hospital bureaucracies are the insurance companies who make ourtrageous reimbursement contracts with the hospital bureaucracies. Also, since obamascare kicked in deductibles are as high as $12K and premiums doubled-tripled-quadrupled while the coverages shrink, shrink, shrink. Meanwhile the hospital bureacracy and insurance company officers have 7 digit salaries.
If you blame the RN and MD for an industry causing bankruptcy, you need to look at the root cause of where the real expenses lie... with the bureaucratic corporate hospitals and insurance companies. You might want to look at obamascare favoring these entities. Also, thank your elected ruling political elite turds who voted and passed to exempt themselves from this shit.
Really? Misquote much?
Lay down his life for his friend, is the quote. Not just for any old "other."
I would have to consider someone who died for me as being my friend,whether I knew them or not.
manners cost nothing.
... the overpaid POS kuntklain correct title is "Eboly virus censorhip czar." It and its boss the fudge packer in chief both need large IV infusions of "eboly" virus STAT....
"whose ambulance was flanked by numerous police cars, motorcycles and fire vehicles." This was the best part of the article. Fire vehicles? In case the patient just bursts into flames from the disease? If this Ebola bullshit isn't another witch hunt and excuse to burn millions of tax payer dollars I really don't know what is.
"whose ambulance was flanked by numerous police cars, motorcycles and fire vehicles."
All part of the show. You need a good carnival barker to get people into the Big Top.
All those public union employees need overtime for the Xmas season shopping sprees
Ebola is highly flammable, so if you smoke....
Fire vehicles... well DUH! I mean come on man, what else are they going to use to aerosol all that vomit and bloody spetum with?
Yes, but who power-washed the sidewalk?
The Nebraska Medical Center is off my list of places to visit.
Ebola? I thought that was fixed, just like Fukushima?
Just one more part of the "ongoing recovery" like all the good high paying jobs that have been added to the economy and massive increase in real estate and other asset prices.
Green shoots everywhere.
when shit gets serious you have to lie, to quote the great oligarchs.
Yeah, remember Ross Perot? Dang, he should have been able to predict the economic effects of NAFTA, GATT, WTO. Oh, wait, he did by golly.
shit is the wrong term to use when talking about ebola
Yeah! I mean, we like have a czar an' everything!
R......I......P
At least you're out of this hell hole Doc.
Ebola? I thought we fixed that, and every other bad thing that has been in the news cycle. Hey, anybody found that missing plane yet?
Hmmmm...the black man dies but the white folks recover-RAY CYSTS!
Nurse was black that recovered after being infected by patient in Dallas. No need to stir up shit with stupid lies, when reality is so much more horrific.
You really dont get a clue Pranky, you have been here for four plus years and nobody loves you, yet you still hang around.
Personally, I wish there were more people hanging arounnd that "nobody loves". This is supposed to be fight club, not a coffee clatch.
Which one?
Emilia Earhart or Malaysia Air?
LOL
There are some suggesting that MH 370 was the same aircraft blown up over Ukraine (MH 17).....

The plane isn't missing. Somebody knows where it is.
I know where it ISN'T....in the water.
why is it only the black guys that dont make it in the u.s. facilities?

Jeff Rense thinks it may be a ethnic-specific variety.
Jeff Rense, deep thinker, deep thoughts, he'll say anything to get another sponsor for a banner ad on his website.
That site loads like I had a 300 baud modem and it was 1991.
Rense isn't a scientist or even well studied in medicine, but he's willing to speculate on matters with no evidence or research.
I'm gonna disregard his professional opinion and wait for proof.
"Anything for banner ads on his website"? Last time I checked you don't expand corporate sponsorship by calling out Zionists' shenanigans.
Took the words right outa' ma' mouth. Just about the worst marketing strategy conceivable is to say naughty things about the tribe.
RIP Doctor
V for Vendetta is a good exposure on how this will be used.
The Government's main task is to create the reserviors of the disease in the USA. Then they will use a vaccine after they instill enough fear and after thousands die. Big Pharma will get rich.
While I do not believe this to be bioengineered I do believe that they are intentionally attempting to create the foundation and it will be used against the US public.
Dude. If memory serves the CDC owns a PATENT for ebola. I could be wrong, but I don't think you can take a patent out on something that is naturally occurring. Makes you think, eh?
Seems like it only kills black people so far.
What was that Spanish priest?
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/12/ebola-spanish-missionary-di...
Dr. Martin Salia, 44, has been transferred to the Nebraska Medical Center which had previously successfully treated two other Ebola patients this fall.
If the MSM was covering this news the story would probably be racism at the Nebraska Medical Center, seeing how their white patients have survived.
Maybe Caucasians have a naturally higher resistance to Ebola? Evolution 101, the Virus evolved in the jungle so it is adapted to infecting and killing jungle dwelling species and Caucasian Men are not on its "Menu".
Brilliant , Einstein......wtf?
Lookout Chief.......Ted Nugent is stalking you as we speak.
I think he meant to post on KluKlux Hedge and Google sent him here by mistake.
There may be something to what your saying. The Plagues of Europe during the middle ages may have had an effect on the gene pool leaving a population more resistant to respiratory virus.
some background.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050325234239.htm
True. The same genetic predeliction towards sickle cell anemia also gives partial resistance to malaria.
http://sickle.bwh.harvard.edu/malaria_sickle.html
Better for the virus if it doesn't kill its host. That way the virus lives longer. This virus is just one of those rare ones that is probably minimally harmful to it's intended host but hell on us and doesn't do shit to dogs. Man is immune to kennel cough but it's hell on dogs. Evolution is random sometimes and random stuff happens.
Well, at least its not just a "Dallas" thing now. Of course we just paid off the family to not start a race war. I wonder who this guy's family will sue for the false positives? At least he didn't lie about it to get in the country.

Immigrant Welfare
After stuffing his 17-year-old dying pregnant girlfriend into a cab, Liberian Thomas Duncan lied about his exposure to Ebola and flew to the US where he could get all the “free” medical care he wanted. He died of Ebola, so–of course–the family sued the hospital and got even more taxpayer funds.

We can never allow individual behavior influence policy or actions. Unless you are an evil capitalist of course. No "judgments" at any cost, be it open borders, illegal immigration or simply ignoring others life and property because they seek a better life, or just more. We should close our borders to anyone who does not bring with them more than they plan to take. Fuck them all.
Yeah cause viruses have eyes and can see skin color. How is race even an issue to be discussed in the context of treatment.
Its all about the robustness of the immune system and the availability of treatment therapies. Most people in Africa are black, therefore most people who die of Ebola will be black until it spreads to countries where most people are not black.
This is serious shit, no need to bring racial paranoia into the converstation unless you are a moron banging your drum given you by your political party.
Yeah, cause stereotypes aren't based upon experience or facts or stuff like, like numbers man.
they're just mean and bully-type stuff.
You never got to play dodgeball, did you son?
so all black people are lazy chicken eating welfare receipents?
No white folk on food stamps?
Get a grip dude skin color has nothing to do with lifestyle or ambition or ability. Black basketball players are great because they are strong and tall, not because they are black.
There are good black people and bad, just like whites and asians. Don't judge people by how they look, but by how they act and how they treat you.
Racism is all about sterotypes and stereotypes are all about using shortcuts to think.
Learn to use your brain, not your heart or you'll forever be a prisoner of your programming.
Hey man, who am i to judge. I mean if you Want to don the buckskin fringe jacket and play Midnight Cowboy, well you just Push it reeeeeaaalll good man.
Pranster
Funny how blacks are real good at some sports but after nearly 50 years of quotas and being put ahead first in line for nearly everything they still can't make it in real life. But if you used YOUR brain you would be able to discern some less than subtle differences between the races. But enjoy your multicultural programing.
Funny how blacks ... still can't make it in real life.
Quite a few other ethnic groups aren't making it in real life either.
For folks to succeed in life, they mostly need a brain that works well (luck plays a part, but ignore that for now).
For the brain to work well, it needs the proper nutritients, at the proper time, while it is still in the uterus. Then it needs the proper mental stimulation up until the age of three. This requirement is true of all ethnic groups.
For some ethnic groups, in some locations, these required nutrients are not available. Nor is the mental stimulation available in the first three years of life that will create the synaptical connections needed if the brain is to function well.
For any given ethnic group, give one fetus the required nutrients and mental stimulation after it is born and leave the other fetus without the required nutrients and mental stimulation after it is born. No matter the ethnic group, you will end up with two different people. Quotas will not ever put the second fetus here on par with the first fetus here. Ever. The die has been cast by the time they are three. Many times the die has been cast before they are even born.
The reality is - variations within ethnic groups and variations across ethnic groups. Most of those variations are set before quotas even become an issue.
Have you ever heard of ratios? With that in mind I agree that there are probably violent Amish scroungers and honest, gentle and hard-woring family men in the 'hood.
Some diseases such as Sickle Cell are race specific as are many medical conditions.
You're not very good at this, are you?
Sorry, but the doc is dead.
This should remind you to sign up for ObolaCare!
This seems like they must be getting ready for Ferguson Riots to begin.
pants up, don't loot
Riots? Shopping spree with 100% sales discount. The numbers that come out will be the same irrepective of the verdict.
Weren't we supposed to have like a million infected by now according to projections?
I heard a report recently the number of new cases in Liberia had dropped from 500/day to something like 50/day.
Frankly, I don't know what to believe about this disease any more. Not sure if it's finally burning itself out or if they're just getting better at covering up what's really going on.
Nope, it should be around 10000 cases of death by now according to projections, 30000 by the end of the year.
Millions should have to be expected in June 2015.
Anyway, reported numbers are well below these projections. Either the projections were crap or the reports are.
Actually according to WHO and other medical sources, deaths are thought to be under-reported due to the fact many sypmtoms mimc advanced malaria and there is a certain shame and stigma associated with Ebola so families report deaths as Malaria and not Ebola.
So likely reported numbers are crap, because actual numbers are underreported and then the political structure tweaks them to undereport them further. Just like unemployment numbers.
when shit gets serious you lie....Official Oligarch Motto.
The projected rates I read were always prefaced by "If the rate of infection continues at the current rate, then ... " (which at the time was exponential, not linear). The point of the projections was to highlight the need to control the rate of infection. They seem to be getting a handle on that.
That is how any epidemic is contained, and is the whole point of quarentine.
I've read that Dr. Salia displayed symptoms of Ebola for some number of days before he finally tested positive for Ebola. That supports the approach of quarantine and treat on the appearance of symptoms, not when the test comes back positive.
"Frankly, I don't know what to believe about this disease any more"
Exactly the way TPTB like us.... confused and hopefully scared.
Possibly Ebola has been redefined as death by natural causes. After all, all they need do is lower the average life span to thirty or something. We don't need science now that it has been proven that any problem can be resolved by simply changing the parameters of the discussion. What is a dollar? Debt is an asset?
Look for death to be defined as a component of GDP/economic activity.
Outrageous hospital bills are definitely a significant part of GDP.
The wife of the Doctor said she was going to pay the costs for brining him to the USA...lets see if she comes thru.....doubt it....I am sure she is talking to lawyers right now trying to find a way to sue the Hospital...
Does it really matter who pays? Why do you bother over trivialty when the house is on fire?
Yeah, figure about 20 goats and maybe a couple of daughters and that'll square the tab. Either that, or the email will go out today.
"Greetings and happy day to you. I am Princess clackity-clack and would like to ask you for help as you are a trustful and kind person. I have in my possession the routing numbers for a bank account..."
You do know that the Dr. is a U.S. resident and that his family lives in the U.S., right???
"....What is once again most disturing, is that Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who lives in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus."
Sorry, Dick...I guess there weren't enough pictures for you. Reading comprehension is hard....asshole.
Not to step into this wading pool, but
1) citizenship is not the same as residency.
2) many families with foreign citizenship live in the US.
That is why I used the term "resident". He is a legal permanent resident, and his wife is a U.S. Citizen. But - back on track - I was responding to a comment about his wife and her likely ability to pay with something other than goats. Comment meant for those who might not know that she lives in the U.S., as did he when not on rotation in Africa.
Yep, agreed, was trying to help the other poster......
Thank God Ebola has returned to Zero Hedge.
It's not the Ukaraine's turn yet. We'll be talking about them soon before we turn our eyes back to Greece.
It's always fun making fun of Greece.....it just is.
Because a communicable disease with a 70% mortality rate shouldn't be discussed in public forums?
Are you a Troll or tool? Don't tell me what I can discuss or what I should think, or what ZeroHedge should discuss.
If you don't care for the topic, press the home button and peruse the other topics, but don't criticize communication cause you don't like the topic.
Move on.
Fuck off.
Rex, you have been testy lately.
You noticed that too?
Go back to Huffpo, you SJW
No doubt Snark! You see how many posts this dipshit has dropped on this thread? I mean come on! Must be a whole fucking team of un-employed Korean WOW gold farmers that they bought to produce that much shit in so little a time!
LOL Nigeria, one of the world's most disorganized countries is ebola free. Those brilliant Africans defeated the virus:

What, are Nigerians smarter than Kenyans?
Princes are genetically protected....
When did you last see an article about the spread of Ebola in Africa? Or even the number of infected/dead?
There are major news blackouts on several fronts running now.
No reports on Ebola in Africa, media personel not allowed or aftaid of contagion?
No firm reports about isis from M.E., media personel afraid of getting decapitated?
No firm reports on war in Eukrain. There are some sparse vauge videos, but without translation they have no meaning.
As far as the state of the U.S./world economy, most here know that the "news" is little more than scripted propaganda.
Great efforts are being taken to suppress the Truth.
A lie steals the rights of others to react to the reality of a given situation.
Last report from the World Health Organiztion -
November 5..., and holding. They were the least fraudulent.
"The records show the government was able to contain the First Wave of the virus by media blackout and the secreting of victims' bodies into mass graves in a remote area of Utah.
"It was not until the Second Wave Americans fully understood their Leaders had lied.
"The third and most deadly Wave was accompanied by the admission of whistle blowers who produced numerous copies of EOs signed by the president ordering a carefully planned spread of the pathogen with a targeted reduction of 75% of the population. At that point, military and UN forces were overwhelmed and the civil war erupted. Most of the corrupt leaders were either felled by gunfire or disease; only 10% of the population remained.
"The plan of the corrupt (and now known illegal) US President worked too well. Instead of achieving a Totalitarian State, the arrogance of the president and his cohorts led only to their own deaths and a newly freed US remnant.
"These survivors were able to rebuild parts of their country, but only along regional districts."
