And, heck, Zeppelins instead of highways.<br /><br />Let the wild country be wild and undisturbed rather than stirring up trouble that may spread quietly and pop up unexpectedly.<br /><br />Just speculating.Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-57225265470433503162014-09-16T16:07:33.057-05:002014-09-16T16:07:33.057-05:00I think a lot of the 3000 will be going to build f...I think a lot of the 3000 will be going to build facilities and putting in place infrastructure.

Which they certainly CAN do, if not messed up with extra "help" from Congress. (I grew up in the US Navy...)<br /><br />The soldiers going there will need to have a lot of guts. We owe them a tremendous amount, even now before they deploy. Would YOU want their job? <br /><br />The way to be 100% certain it does not come back to North America with them- is to send a hospital ship (I assume we still have some). All soldiers returning home should be required to spend 40 days on the hospital ship, and be certified "clean" at that point. Longest known incubation is 22 days. They can do useful work on shipboard, while clearing quarantine. Or; something like that. 3,000 is a very small number of people to keep under control; that can be done.Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-48229657885502837372014-09-16T08:31:05.605-05:002014-09-16T08:31:05.605-05:00Now I here we're sending troops to Africa to h...Now I here we're sending troops to Africa to help with the out break.

No affiliation with anyone but myself. <br /><br />Agree on the link sources. Just posting as much news as I can for people to read. I've been reading Zerohedge and their coverage on the ebola crisis for a while, but needed more. I couldn't find anything doing what I wanted so I started a blog assuming there might be others like me.<br /><br />I'm also concerned about how the disease might be accelerating either through poor management or mutation. I just posted on the WHO's report where we've seen a %49 percent increase in the numbers.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Matt Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-77525247360774629432014-09-09T11:49:54.210-05:002014-09-09T11:49:54.210-05:00Incidentally, Matthew, I find the "ebolanews&...Incidentally, Matthew, I find the "ebolanews" blog you cite there a little disturbing: I cannot find any "Who is writing this blog" info; and it cites a couple of news sources I would never look at, as they're known to be highly unreliable (e.g. Fox...) But; it does look on the surface like they're just compiling everything with no visible agenda. So... why no identity?Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-83279783591941479712014-09-09T11:43:43.708-05:002014-09-09T11:43:43.708-05:00Matthew- the number of infected health personnel i...Matthew- the number of infected health personnel is one of the things that makes me think the virus has already become considerably more transmissible. <br /><br />Those people have to be terrified- and being as careful as they can- but they're still contracting it. <br /><br />Not only terrified, but courageous beyond our general comprehension. <br /><br />What they have been taught about how to avoid it is just not working. Ergo- what they've been taught is no longer true.<br />Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-39909833633706281202014-09-09T08:19:05.825-05:002014-09-09T08:19:05.825-05:00My biggest concern are the 100's of medical do...My biggest concern are the 100's of medical doctors and nurses that are getting the virus. The concerns about the transmission of the virus but also the psychological affect to the existing health system. <br /><br />ebolanewsblog.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
