And yet we are being told there is NO WAY Ebola can spread here in the U.S. Somehow we are supposed to believe that the doctors and nurses who contracted Ebola in Africa did so because they violated "basic hygiene practices."
Anyone think of the imports from that region ??? Rice being just one of the many thousands of goods that are labeled as coming from the country that buys them, say product of China or Indonesia ?
Weird laws we have, someone up in Maine buys a boat in Fl. and registers it to say Argentina for tax reasons, all fish caught from that boat that caught whatever in the Gulf of Maine is now labeled Product of Argentina.
So the rice grown in the Ebola region, textiles, you name it have been handled 5 ways till Sunday until it gets to our shores.
Now to the unloading of the goods that sit on wooden skids that may have come from the Ebola area. No telling what kind of strange bugs or rodents may have hitched a ride.
Into the transport trucks that go coast to coast in America, time is money and many drivers will not bother to steam down the cargo area between shipments.
Independent truckers that can afford a trailer that is a cold freezer and half way into a long haul the system goes down, the driver sometimes just says a prayer and keeps going to the delivery drop off point. So say 10% of the cargo is spoiled, the buyers get a discount for the bad stuff such as vegetables and have workers peeling off the bad stuff and in the to those zip lock pre packaged bags it goes.
So who on earth can say anyone in the world is safe from any disease. I am reminded that for a year or two ago Whooping cough was a concern in the mid west.
Today we have thousands of children if we wish to designate males of 16-17 as such coming here over the border who have survived with no inoculations or system to combat these diseases.
Why is WHO not down there giving every illegal the blue arm of inoculations when they enter our country or others ????
We in the 18 century screened those that came in from other ports for disease, Many who came to Ellis Island were turned away and sent home if they had any sign of illness. Typhoid Mary was sent to prison to protect NYC.
People with TB that is infectious are today sent off to special places to live out their lives in solitude.
Disease mutates, reason we get a flu shot that is different from last years, we have no idea what the mutations in the Ebola will take.
BUT this is just me, not too smart and have nothing to go on but past history and the century's old little tomb stones that up here stand as witness of whole family's wiped out by Disease that came to us from abroad.
I do want to live long enough to wittiness sight and sounds of the past of callers going street to street to yell out, " Bring out your dead."
