In Today's Ebola News...

"Healthcare authorities yesterday threw in the towel with respect to Sierra Leone.
All of Sierra Leone.
They're going to start distributing home healthcare supplies there.
That stuff is going to enable family members to care for each other. And as a result, one infected family member will kill their fellow family members, with a 70-90% efficiency.
The charities involved have come to the conclusion that Sierra Leone's 5.7M people need to be cut loose, and they'll give them what they need to do minimal comfort care for family members, for whom there are simply no beds, and the disease will run rampant until it runs out of people to kill there. Probably nearly all of them, unless someone has the means and supplies to stay inside unexposed until 5.2M of their friends and neighbors have died, and the virus runs out of hosts or growth media, like decaying corpses. To the tune, potentially, of about half the entire Nazi holocaust, in total size."

From WRSA...


Reality is a bitch.
And she just doesn't care.
From a medical briefing a week ago, four key points:
1) Time: Epidemics stop when the new infection cases stop
2) Distance: If you stay 10 feet away from anyone who might have The Bug, your odds improve markedly
3) Disinfection: Break The Bug's protein exterior via heat, UV, or oxidizers, and it dies

4) The combination of seasonal flu and suspected Ebola cases will break the US medical system by EOY
