Question what do you think the over/under is for Ebola deaths in this country in the next 6 months? Can you Tea'billies count past 10?

We have sort of a paradox with Duncan, or patient "zero"

It seems, while obviously very sick with Ebola, stayed with Familly, sat in a Hospitol waiting room, and was at least in the same room with other people, all who had no protection what so ever from the contagion.

So, who gets ebola? Two nurses who by all accounts were wearing the very best in protection.

I think we have dodged a bullet. No other person that was in contact with Duncan seems to be ill.

So I guess that means we can hang out the "Ebola welcome" sign to all comers.

If you go by the numbers then you have to assume that WTF is a dishonest asshole. He is asking about "deaths" and not cases is the first clue.

They weren't wearing the "best in protection" either. This is another lie of the Obama administration. Not "any hospital can treat this disease". There's only a few hospitals with a few beds that can "more safely" treat patients with the disease when the patient turns symptomatic. That's why they are being flown around the country. It wouldn't take much to overwhelm the Ebola response system. As far as I can tell there only one of those specially prepared jets that are flying the patients around the country.

Thus my thread. This is a way for you to bash Obama , when in fact you should wind up tipping your hat and saying, "Job well done."

I'm going to go with '3' and take the under.

Making this 'crisis' about the same magnitude as any number of traffic accidents on any given day (and I live in Dallas).

I'm betting one more case and Hussein denies travel from the "affected" countries in Africa. That will significantly reduce the risk and limit the US cases to less than 5.

"The Science" coming from you is rich. No, Obama said that the possibility of Ebola making our shores was "extreme small" just weeks before it hit the shores.

Then his CDC director said that "Any hospital with isolation unit can treat an Ebola patient." What happens? Two nurses get the disease and Duncan dies.

Then the CDC waits to whisk the nurses off (which they have the resources to do) to hospitals that can effectively treat the disease without the caregivers becoming victims themselves.

From what I read yesterday, the American Embassy in Liberia is still handing out travel visa.

No, this has more more to do with "competence" than "cost/benefit" analysis.

You are WTF the moronic buffoon. Can't even keep your own thread on topic. I look forward to examining the pre-2004 numbers and sources you used in your 2003 Iraq invasion cost/benefit analysis.

Was watching the latest episode of the Black List. They had a case of a biological agent in the form of a 700 year old version of pneumonic plague with an extremely high mortality rate. The difference was that they were competent. They had to call only one person to shut down airlines, stop flights, get a quarantine in place, and even get other countries to turn or divert planes with only a two hour notice. Like most TV shows this one was probably written last month and filmed three to four weeks ago. Maybe we should hire those people who seem to know what has to be done.

meanwhile, Ebola continues to claim hundreds of US lives...

Huh? it isn't? The hell you say!
