CDC Director: Ebola Outbreak Possible

-




The fear of Ebola is spreading worldwide today as the Director of the World Health Organization declares the virus a public health emergency. Margaret Chan says that several more countries will eventually see the Ebola virus. The main question now, is how will they respond? Here in the U.S., Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr Tom Frieden, says IT IS POSSIBLE for some travelers to become sick while they are in the US, and that’s very hard to prevent because Ebola can lie dormant inside a human body for up to three weeks. The CDC does have protocols in place should a passenger become sick on a plane to limit their exposure to others on board. Dr Frieden says it’s unlikely that Ebola breaks out in America though because they do NOT believe Ebola is contagious during the dormant stages. It’s only AFTER the person starts vomiting and bleeding internally that they emit the deadly plague. While a breakout could still happen here in the US, it’s much more likely to happen somewhere else. West African countries are poverty-stricken and void of advanced healthcare. Many people are malnourished and the national immunity is lower than it is here. Not only that, but dead victims of Ebola can still be contagious. Poor burial practices are contributing to the Liberian breakouts. So far, this latest round of Ebola has killed nearly a thousand people and - once infected - the death rate can be as high as 90 percent. President Obama says it’s still too soon to declare or approve a drug to treat the virus, but some experimental drugs have shown minor improvements. Whatever the cure may be, the risk of the Ebola outbreak is far from over. Right now, the best case scenario is another three to six months before the panic from this plague is past.

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

-
An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
