Richard, as you commented about ebola, these outbreaks are likely to
be politicized fairly quickly, which can hamper dealing with them as
diseases. One article I read said that it likely will fade out as
autumn progresses. Meanwhile, I hope you and Rita are taking a little
colloidal silver every day.

was less likely to be associated with immigrants."/ - Tom Maguire

/Addressing the important issues://
//
//According to Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, we must be "relentless" in stopping the
spread of ebola in West Africa. After all, after all is said and
done here, that is the only way to truly and completely protect the
health security of America -- and the world. By January there could
be millions of people infected with the virus. //
Asking the important questions:
//
//Who is going to spend the money to keep this epidemic contained
so that it doesn't turn into a pandemic? How much would it cost to
invent a vaccine? How will military units on the ground have the
discipline, the will and the resources to mobilize tomorrow, build
treatment centers really fast and deliver the care and medicine
needed?//
Taking action:
//
//The U.S. has boots are on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and
now 3,600 troops are being sent into Liberia to help manage the
crises. How many boots on the ground and how much money will it
take to defeat ISIS and the Ebola?/
