Atlanta (AFP) – President Barack Obama issued a global call to action to fight West Africa’s Ebola epidemic on Tuesday, warning the deadly outbreak was unprecedented and “spiraling out of control,” threatening hundreds of thousands of people.
“Here’s the hard truth. In West Africa, Ebola is now an epidemic of the likes that we have not seen before,” Obama said.
“It’s spiraling out of control. It is getting worse. It’s spreading faster and exponentially. Today, thousands of people in West Africa are infected. That number could rapidly grow to tens of thousands.
“And if the outbreak is not stopped now, we could be looking at hundreds of thousands of people infected with profound political and economic and security implications for all of us.”
Well now, what do you think of this? Here we have the Pres. telling us that it’s really getting bad. And if you know anything about politics and politicians, you know they never tell you the whole truth! So if he’s coming out saying it’s this bad, how bad do you really think it is?
I don’t know about you but I’d get ready. If I’m wrong, no worries, you have a little extra food, water and medical supplies. But if I’m right, and things get worse, you won’t be able to find any of the things you need at all. So get out there today and buy some supplies.
Here’s some more intel if you’re still a doubter,

Ok, today was busy as usual. Ty had track at 7am and Jag went to school at his normal time. I hit the computer hard and Lori headed off to work for her usual 9 hour plus day. My Mom’s surgery went well and it was a nice, sunny, hot day in the mid 90’s.
I wanted to go buys some supplies but the house and car payments came first. Maybe in the next few days we can stock up a bit more on some necessities.
Take care and God Bless,
