>>>EBOLA 2014-15 >> Latest News and Updates for MERS, Ebola and other spreading nasties<<<

Yup. It is knowing when to pull the kids out of school BEFORE they are exposed that will be an issue. Heck, I don't even know how to do that legally - last thing any of us want is human services sniffing their noses around your home. Declaring that we are suddenly homeschooling high schoolers....just another thing I need to look into.

There are creative ways of doing this. Homeschooling is one option, saying they are exchange students in Paraguay is yet another. They left to live with their grandparents in Montana...

If this goes pandemic, know well these bureaucrats and enforcers most likely will not survive due to the virus.

Three Ebola Scenatios
[link to monotreme1000.wordpress.com]

1. "Good" Scenario.

Good is in quotes because although this is the best case scenario, a lot of people still suffer and die.

Massive influx of aid from the West decreases the number of new cases in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Contact tracing in Nigeria is effective in limiting spread in that country. New treatments prove effective and are used first for HCWs and then, as supplies increase, for all patients. An effective vaccine becomes available 6 months from now and is used in Africa to end the outbreak. West Africa suffers severe economic hardship and comes close to complete societal breakdown but narrowly escapes this fate.

2. Bad Scenario.

Aid from the West is too little, too late. Although the aid helps some people, the virus continues to spread in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Large numbers of cases show up in the West Point slum in Liberia a few weeks from now. Rioting occurs when soldiers shoot people trying to escape. Men with guns from outside Monrovia move in to "liberate" their kinsmen in West Point. Large numbers of cases are revealed in Lagos in October. Government attempts to hide the full extent of the outbreak in this country fail at this time. Nigerians start to flee to Western countries. A few are infected and start outbreaks in the countries they flee to. These are mostly contained but, as the numbers carrying the virus from Nigeria increase, containment starts to fail as ERs are overwhelmed by sick Nigerians as well as secondary contacts. Effective treatments are available but limited quantities lead to violent arguments over who will receive them. An effective vaccine is identified 6 months from now but is available in insufficient quanitities to do much good. Millions die and the world is plunged into economic Depression. The situation doesn't stabilise until 2016 when there is finally enough vaccine to first slow and then stop the pandemic.

3. Very Bad Scenarios

There are actually several:

A. New Ebola becomes airborne before an effective vaccine can be developed.

B. New Ebola is used by terrorists.

C. It is discovered that New Ebola is a strategic biological weapon.

D. China starts WWIII while the New Ebola pandemic is ravaging the US.

The four Very Bad Scenarios are not mutually exclusive.

Nawty: great analysis.

My concern has to do with nuclear command / control / surety.

Will another country decide to launch missiles thinking the command and control of a certain world power is broken? Will analysts for the super powers advise for first strike to prevent an attack like this?

Another nuclear issue has to do with our power plants. But that's a another can of worms.

Oh I wouldn't care unless they managed to stop it - yeah right, but since we don't know the future....I would also hate to mess up their future. This is where one would have to make the right decision at the right moment. That is gonna be tricky.

I will have them alive with me - that is for sure!!!

What I'm about to write will be controversial for some. But I think it needs to be said and my purpose here is not to offend you.

In the coming months many of us will be tempted to blame our Creator for this disease. I would humbly submit this disease is simply part of our fallen world, thorns and thistles, or could even be man-made.

In that case God had nothing to do with it. Our Creator does allow for free will, even if someone liquidates millions, as in the case of Stalin or Hitler. I do believe in eternal judgement, and you should read about Stalin's last moments of life as he passed into that judgement.

My response? Prepare. If a disease comes my way, I'll prepare the best I can. If a KGB thug comes to take me to the Gulag, I'll be there waiting for him, with prejudice.

Ultimately, it has been said, we are all dead men. It's how we lived our lives that counts, however long or short that life may be.

We need a Kirk, not the dork we presently have in the White House...

Is Congo 10 or 2 confirmed??

Dr Ameyo Stella Adedavoh, the Nigerian doctor who first treated Sawyer has died.

She had been discharged from the Centre for Infectious Disease Control at Yaba, Lagos after recovering from Ebola.

So they discharged her as recovered and she died from Ebola.
