1500 infected in four nations whose populations total over 190 million. It's an outbreak, for sure, but it's not an outbreak like the media sensationalize. More people in hazmats and better medical care are what's needed, not some neo-con military strategic interference where we go 28 days later on the infected, which is what, of course, some idiots are suggesting.
Doctor with Ebola treated patients in Nigeria, left dozens at risk: WHO
By Stephanie Nebehay 1 hour ago
GENEVA (Reuters) - A Nigerian doctor with Ebola carried on treating patients and met scores of friends, relatives and medics before his death, leaving about 60 of them at high risk of infection, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Wednesday. (Full Article)
Now his widow is sick as is another member of his family. While a patient he treated is dead. Unbelievably tragic.

Kinda like how terrorism has become a byword for 'blow up innocents under reasonable suspicion that a singular extremist lives in close proximity', or how 'liberal' has become a byword for screaming uber-feminists demanding unrestricted abortion regulations. Words come to have connotations for a reason. That said, I more than anyone appreciate your point:
You can't lump every person who identifies in a certain bracket with the actions or viewpoints of any one particular individual within that bracket as regards to every subject. Just like I shouldn't lump all neoconservatives in as warmongering pigheads with Bush, so for instance we shouldn't lump in all Muslims as decapitating barbarians, or all Christians as fundamentalist wingdings.
There's a fair lesson to be learned from your post; the mindset of one person within a defined group are not representative of the mindsets of every individual within that group, though when it benefits you then it's handy for you, for instance, to say:
''If a nation allows itself to be governed in part by Sharia and in part by socialism, this is the result'', in response to reports of a small group of British-Pakistani professed Muslim sex offenders who abused many children over a period of many years, thus by doing so you conflate every Muslim with strict Sharia, correlate Britain at large whose legal system is based on secular law with small communities in London (nowhere neat Rotherham) that post Sharia posters which are consistently taken down and investigated as normal by police agencies, and you promote gross misinformed generalizations of both the mindsets of British-Pakistanis and of Muslims at large; 'Muslims all want Sharia', you imply, and 'All Muslim Sharia advocates are child abusers'.
You should probably take a leaf from your own book.

This experimental vaccine is no longer availble in the U.S, as what little there was, has been given to help fight the outbreak
in Africa.
This information was relieced today in the news, as another U.S. missionary Dr. was brought back to the U.S. for treatment, and it was stated there was no more vaccine available for him.
Just thought you might like to have the update.

I'd heard about that. What an odd thing. What was the source that gave them the vaccine before this? That they can't make more now that it has all been dispersed into the African afflicted populace and these missionaries I wonder.
Here's an update too:

But from what is being said, even if they find an effective vaccine, it would be a year before it would be made and still on a limited basis.
Its interesting , when the swine flu vaccine came out, many would not use it and there was great concern about how quickly it was made available, many certain it had to be flawed, dangerous.
But now in trying to find a vaccine for e-bola, these same question why there is not one already quickly available?
There is always the queston of conspearacy, but we must remain mindful, that conspearacy is a tool of satan.
The people are the willing, maby fearfull pawns he uses.
Remember, our battles are with the powers and principalities of evil.
May we always remain mindful of this, so we do not pass an unfair judgement on any.
E-bola is a true concern, and for many, frightening.
The 21 day incubation is the biggest threat of this disease, for it can travel far in 21 days.
The greater threat though is panic, for fear breeds many worse results, and it is such that destroys.
Like Ive said before,
Psalm 91 is a good comfort and trust spoken to. God bless

Perish the thought. The Obama administration made sure flights directly from Liberia to the U.S. continue unabated. Check it out, you can even buy one way tickets from Liberia to New York City the most densely populated large city in the U.S..
Modern liberals have one way flights from Ebola-ridden Liberia to population-dense Kennedy Airport NYC on one hand but on the other want to put you in prison and fine you hundreds of thousands of dollars in "civil rights" fines if you refuse to facilitate sexual immorality when sexually immoral people order you to do so violating your human rights under natural law and religious liberty under the Constitution which they no longer recognize... that is unless you're a Muslim in which case they simply drop the matter altogether.
This, of course, is why it's common anymore to assert that modern "progressive" liberalism is actually a mental disorder.
