Health Expert Shuts Down Fear Mongering Fox News H

It simply flies in the face of logic not to ban air traffic from African countries effected with Ebola. The best way to stop the spread of Ebola is by containment, how can allowing potential Ebola carriers to board airplanes and fly around the world stop the containment? That's like saying the best way to stop a ship from sinking is to put more holes in the hull to allow more water in!

I wrote about 50 in there.

In contrast to the US government, the nation of India is discussing shutting off all migration from afflicted nations, period!

Ooh - that was good

I don't have time to ask people exactly what they mean. I read it as it is posted.
What he/she posted was offensive.

Did you read what was said? It may not be what he meant but what was written what's what I reacted to. I expect he certainly can speak for himself.

Meals on wings...

haha nope, oneflu is in Utah, I think, but has family in CA lol I think the pigeons can make it that far, not sure how long it'd take though! I'd give them red bull, but it doesn't give them extra wings.

Hi Onefluover.
Thank you for the clarification. It's apparent we both feel strongly.

I've been down the street at EI and missed all of this. First of all thank you Germ Nerd and John for jumping in in my defense. Though when I re read my post I can see why some would have a negative reaction to it. It is an extremist view of the world. But that word is often unjustly nitpicked. I'm also extremely into fishing and dreaming of panning for gold. My super realism art is of the most extreme. I've written an extreme amount. Guaranteed more than but a very tiny handful of people. Millions of words. I'm extremely handsome. OK thats a lie. I've lived through some extreme situations in life. Both good and bad. So it is no wonder I sometime tend to have extreme views of some aspects of life and express them in ways some people find to be over the top. I can't argue against that. But when it comes to this situation you hit on Prairie, let me tell you, I've been personally sickened numerous times by people around me who I have repeatedly tried to school about infectious diseases and cross-contaminants, what those organisms are, how tiny, contagious, how they are transmitted, WHY, what the dangers are, etc and it just seems almost no one around me for all these years seems to get it or care at all. My own family even. It has been appearing to me that there are two types of people in this world as relates to this subject: those who get it -but don't want it, to be sickened, and those who really don't get it but go around ignorantly infecting orhers. I am sick right now. Have been for days. Once again infected by nothing less than ignorance that I tried so hard ward off with some ATFesque intelligence but once again was denied. I tend to see the whole dern world this way. Unrelenting. You don't want me bringing you some steak in a post-apocalyptic world because I'm extreme in assigning blame unjustly? That's fine. Your views I respect. I will give it to Johnray. If Trish doesn't need it more first. I'm willing to share and help and protect not those who did the best to prep for this potentially catastrophic event of our time but those who enlightened themselves about it and did the best they had the means to do to prepare for it and many of them are in fact AFTers.

Ahhh, is oneflu in CA too?  I feel left out.  Can your pigeons make it to TN?

My cats will appreciate that, Hachi

I'll use a messenger pigeon to contact you, JD, and albert lol

Prairie One wrote: Thanks again GN. I know nothing of any of those posting. I can only go by what I read. I am not looking for things to cause problems over... Just expressing my opinion which I think is at least as valid as yours Johnray1. Would you rather only hear from those who always agree with you?

Actually, I think oneflu just perfectly described my sister LOL

Prairie One,I read all of these posts. It looks to me like that you are just looking for something to cause a problem over. You need to just take a Xanax and set down for a little while.Johnray1

Prairie,

Seriously oneflu?

I didn't but this site looks worth looking at closer later so I've saved it.

If you have solar and a well, even smaller ones youre better prepared than having thousands of pounds of food. (Or kilos for many of you). But wells are mostly for rural acreage properties and most of us just don't have that.

Johnray1 wrote: Jen 147,I have wondered why no one has said any thing about the scam that the CDC and the NIH and the government has been running on the American people. I am also infavor of stopping commercial air travel from Africa,but I thought that every knew that to stop everyday air travel from Africa,did not mean to lock Africa down and stop the aid and medical personnel to.The CDC,NIH, and the US Government all know that they stop all "unauthorized" flights to and from Africa.They could authorize aid fights. They know that.Johnray1

I just looked it up. I'm the tool!

Anyways... How are we all going to comunicate if the power ever really does go out? Will wireless devices with solar chargers still function at all via satilites or do those systems go completely down as well?

I wasn't quoting you GN, just that what you pointed out made me think of an older thread about the cable news womens looks and dress that I just followed up on. And it was ending my post with a weak attempt at being humerous.

You are spot on onefluover..
