I need to buy some fresh alcohol wipes though. Quoting: Paranoiaaaaa If it got to the situation, whereby those items were a real need for you, we would all of been in curfew and lockdown well before then. That is, IF our governments could be bothered to save us. If this was no the case, you might wish you were dead anyway. I don't completely agree here. We can be protecting ourselves the moment we know ebola is anywhere near. Wearing protection any time we go out in public, for example. Last time we had an uptick in ebola cases, it became harder to find the N95 masks, though gloves were pretty much available. To have them on hand is best, and to be prepared to use them at the drop of a case of ebola is better yet. I think martial law might come into play once it arrives here, meaning it's best to have already on hand everything your household needs in food and water. People in charge of things, like municipal water systems, garbage collection, much law enforcement, even nuclear plant technicians, will choose to stay home and take care of their own families, so we will be without anything we have come to depend upon, very early in the epidemic/pandemic. Have in mind that you will stay home, keep your family safe, and rely on what you already have stored. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. “I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” Abraham Lincoln I sign all karma given. Would that those giving it to me followed suit. |

Quoting: Pooka You are naive to think it hasn't been, and that the weaponization tests were not the start of the first epidemic a few years ago. I think it survives long enough to be transmissable in a sneeze zone.....but that would be the feature a weaponizer would focus on most. Thats what has made it such a joke. You had to chase em down and shoot em up to get em and only another 10 billion later, at least as far as a sneeze if its virulent and hits a mucous membrane fast! (I would take goond and a chainsaw to get my money back) But there has been a spook all along that this one seems different but no one is real precise on "how?" But its still a hollywood presentation and prepare for supply shortages is the thing to do. Government stunts and savages are a much larger threat to you than the guiness book of world records most failed bio weapon effort. A great deal of the time it is spread over there by family members at funerals.. They insist of laying the bodies out for viewing....for a few days....while friends and family visit and hug, caress and kiss the corpse to say goodbye. They've tried to stop them from doing this, but they'll go so far as to steal the corpse and do it anyways. ...are you out of your mind? Not in the least..

Key recommendations from the report include: Designate senior-level White House leadership for pandemic response and pandemic preparedness Donor and host nations must continue investments in health systems strengthening at the community level with specific attention to Global Health Security Agenda related priorities Host nations must reinforce and rethink the critical role of community health workers, religious leadership, and cultural factors in epidemic response Building trust between stakeholders of pandemic preparedness and response is crucial Place more value on applied interdisciplinary work within university reward structures Require strong national surveillance systems that help detect and monitor trends and risk factors for antimicrobial resistance; and Multi-sector coordination and whole-of-government planning, aimed at building resilient health systems guided by the “One Health” approach, can advance efforts to integrate human, animal, and environmental sectors in pandemic preparedness.

This is causing anger because of the disruption of age-old traditions in the region, and as a result is prompting distraught families to shun the aid of medics and specialist consultants. Recent figures show more than 100 new cases of the disease are being recorded every week. [link to www.express.co.uk (secure)] |
