 Model Shows How Ebola Will Spread: “It Only Takes One Infected Individual Making It Through An Airport Checkpointâ€
Ah, that’ll never happen, I mean have you seen the crack security at the airports lately?
According to CDC director Tom Frieden, the ‘window of opportunity’ for stopping the spread of ebola is closing rapidly. “This is not just a problem for West Africa, it’s not just a problem for Africa,†Frieden said last week. “It’s a problem for the world, and the world needs to respond.â€
In the United States, hospitals are quietly preparing Ebola infection wards and procedures for what many believe is the inevitable arrival of the virus on U.S. shores.
Mathematical models performed by numerous researchers suggest that anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 people globally could contract the virus by December of this year.
Other models show 1.4 Million infected by January 2015.
Ok, good morning, did that wake you up or did I already lose you. Throw in a few terrorist groups wanting to hit America and I’d say we have a few challenges this fall. The point of my constant “throw it in your face” posts, are not to scare you but to get you to get off your butt and prepare, just in case the Govt, doctors, military generals and some really smart people are right. If you don’t, one can only come to the conclusion that you either think all  these guys are wrong, or you’re just choosing to ignore reality, which wouldn’t be very smart! Personally I think the Govt. never tells us the whole truth anyhow so if they are warning us a bit, it must be really really bad, ha ha. I mean look, last week they said there are no credible threats to the U.S. and day before yesterday they bomb a group we’ve never heard of saying attacks here were imminent, go figure.
So the time to stop doing nothing is over. You have to do a few simple things now to take care of yourself, especially those of you in California as we can’t help you. So once again, get off Facebook and go spend a little of that money you save for new clothes or going out to dinner or whatever and store some water, food and medicines in case you need to stay home for an extended period of time. If things do go south, (and we hope they won’t) for most, that will be your best and only defense. Â And by all means, keep your head on a swivel and if you see something out of the ordinary, speak up.
Now to the day, we all worked hard, the boys in school and Lori and I at our jobs. The day flew by and soon it was time to go to bed. The next three days will be hectic for all of us. Not much else to say, just busy busy busy around here. Take care and God Bless.
