Is It Okay To Face The Truth About Ebola Yet?

[Luddly Neddite]

A friend and I have come up with a catchy song. It's called..."The Ebola Song":
We anticipate it's going to go viral.

Hoping to gain fame off the tragic deaths of others.

Exactly what I would expect from you.

How Contagious the Deadly Ebola Virus is Compared to 5 Other Major Viruses in One Clear Chart

and R-nought (or R-naught) explained ... See graphic at the link:

In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number (sometimes called basic reproductive rate, basic reproductive ratio and denoted R0, r nought) of an infection can be thought of as the number of cases one case generates on average over the course of its infectious period, in an otherwise uninfected population.[4]


This metric is useful because it helps determine whether or not an infectious disease can spread through a population. The roots of the basic reproduction concept can be traced through the work of Alfred Lotka, Ronald Ross, and others, but its first modern application in epidemiology was by George MacDonald in 1952, who constructed population models of the spread of malaria.


When


R0 < 1

the infection will die out in the long run. But if


R0 > 1

the infection will be able to spread in a population.


Generally, the larger the value of R0, the harder it is to control the epidemic. For simple models, the proportion of the population that needs to be vaccinated to prevent sustained spread of the infection is given by 1 − 1/R0. The basic reproductive rate is affected by several factors including the duration of infectivity of affected patients, the infectiousness of the organism, and the number of susceptible people in the population that the affected patients are in contact with.


In populations that are not homogeneous, the definition of R0 is more subtle. The definition must account for the fact that a typical infected individual may not be an average individual. As an extreme example, consider a population in which a small portion of the individuals mix fully with one another while the remaining individuals are all isolated. A disease may be able to spread in the fully mixed portion even though a randomly selected individual would lead to fewer than one secondary case. This is because the typical infected individual is in the fully mixed portion and thus is able to successfully cause infections. In general, if the individuals who become infected early in an epidemic may be more (or less) likely to transmit than a randomly chosen individual late in the epidemic, then our computation of R0 must account for this tendency. An appropriate definition for R0 in this case is "the expected number of secondary cases produced by a typical infected individual early in an epidemic".[5]

The head of the CDC is an Obozo political appointee same as all the other agencies.....donors or campaign workers payoff. Look at the DOJ, VA, HHS, IRS, FBI, SS.....all idiots without a clue how to effectively administrate a one car funeral parade. None of them are doing their jobs....they show up around 10am, shoot the breeze, send and answer a few emails and voicemails and head out to the watering holes, or back-waxing salons while the men head to the gay bars...that's the Obozo team....ain't ya glad you REelected the mutt?

What?

No accusation about refugee kids?

 

[haissem123]

let's bring more infected people here. we can keep it contained. I'd bet your life on it. That's what they keep doing.

This is exactly the sort of crisis Obama prays for at night when he goes to bed. Any crisis where lots of Americans die is encouraged and fostered. Particularly poor Americans.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Silly nutters.

Here's a good one..Utah health dept. claims they're just *testing the system*, that they don't think this patient *really* has ebola.

Yeah, right:

"Primary Children’s said it is unlikely the patient has Ebola however officials are taking this opportunity to test the emergency plan they have been working on to provide maximum protection to staff, patients, families and the greater community.

"Officials said they admitted a patient Wednesday who has symptoms raising concerns about Ebola.

"The symptoms mixed with the patient’s recent travels to Africa concerned doctors."

Ebola case in Utah 8216 highly unlikely 8217 hospital said tested system and is prepared fox13now.com

It's funny the way the article is worded by the complicit press...the CDC is running test to CONFIRM that the patient DOESN'T have the virus.

Lol.

 

[koshergrl]

I like how they mention that they were only saying something because there were *rumors*. In other words, they tried to hide it.

PS..I hope the reporters who are soft soaping this get ebola tomorrow.

In another thread, she was working on an ebola song that's she's hoping goes viral.

That's our board christian for you.

@ninja007 THIS is the kind of phony christian I was talking about in this thread, post #116
No Wonder The christians Are So Full Of Bitter Hate Page 2 US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

And yes, I do hate the damage they do and so should REAL Christians.

 

[Rikurzhen]

Silly nutters.

Is Obama looking after America interests when he doesn't secure the border, when he doesn't deport the flood of infiltrators, when he permits African from ebola hot zones to travel to the US?

 

[LoneLaugher]

This ***** just got done accusing the POTUS of wanting an Ebola outbreak. The same ***** who just wished that reporters get the disease.

The sister of the ebola victim:

"The sweaty sheets were still on her bed, she said. She put the towels he used in a bag but did not know what to do with them.

"The woman, whom CNN did not identify by name, said she had no symptoms at this point.

"On Thursday, Mr. Duncan’s nephew said that even after his uncle was rushed to the hospital three days after his initial visit, vomiting and gravely ill, he did not feel they were acting with enough urgency and called federal authorities himself to alert them to the situation."

Yep.

That's the same (bible thumping, anti-everything, chronic liar, christian) *****.

While studiously ignoring ALL facts.

ATTENTION: RACE-BAITING IGNORANCE THREAD.

FACT: Ebola spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.

The potential for widespread EVD infections is considered low as the disease is only spread by direct contact with the secretions from someone who is showing signs of infection. The symptoms limit a person's ability to spread the disease as they are often too sick to travel.

Notice how the facts I posted above have been ignored.

"Judge Jenkins said that at one point, Louise and her family especially "were noncompliant with the request to stay home."

They're in "quarantine"....in other words, they're told to stay in an apartment without food, with dirty towels and sheets from the ebola victim, and hey, they have gone out into the community.

But don't worry. Nothing to worry about, your government is ON IT!
