Hi,
EBOLA. EBOLA. EBOLA. THE PRESS CAN'T LET IT GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FEAR OF EXTINCTION SEEMS TO BE THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS PROFIT OR POLITICAL MOTIVE TO DATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER SURMISES THAT WE MUST BE ASKING FOR THE FEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ELSE WOULD FEAR BE A PROFIT OR POLITICAL MOTIVE ????????????
Remember that Television is a PROFIT MAKING MEDIUM WITH ADS NOT THE ONLY SOURCE BUT PROGRAMS AND OF COURSE NEWS, NEWS, NEWS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO SELLING THE TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF THE NEWS SELLS FEAR OF WHATEVER COMES DOWN THE PIKE AND VIEWERS RESPOND POSITIVELY, THEN THAT ENCOURAGES MORE FEAR STORIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POLITICIANS USE FEAR OF THEIR OPPONENTS ACTIONS TO CREATE A PANACEA FOR THEMSELVES UNTIL THEY GET CAUGHT IN THE FICKLE WIND OF FEAR.
NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES ???????????????? THEY DROPPED THE BALL YEARS AGO AND JUST FOLLOW THE TV AND MEDIA SO WHATEVER TV DOES, THE NEWS IN OTHER MEDIA REFLECT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRAGIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKAY, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE EBOLA EPIDEMIC RATIONALLY. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN AFRICA FOR YEARS BUT THIS - ONLY THIS YEAR - WE HAVE CASES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT CHANGED ?????????? WHAT CAUSED THE EPIDEMIC TO FIND A FOOTHOLD HERE ?????????? WHY THE FEAR ????????????
NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER RESEARCHED AS BEST AS COULD BE DONE AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCUSES IN CASES LIKE THIS, IT DOES APPEAR THAT OUR REACTION TO THE AIRLINE SITUATION WAS VERY RETARDED. THERE IS A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN LIBERIA (WHY WAS IT PLACED THERE WHEN THERE ARE PERIODIC OUTBREAKS OF EBOLA ????????????? ) THIS BLOGGER FINDS THAT ALARMING AND THE AIRPORT HAS NOT BEEN TEMPORARILY CLOSED DOWN TO AVOID THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE. THIS BLOGGER FINDS THAT ALARMING !!!!!!!!!!
WITH 5000 AMERICAN TROOPS GOING INTO THE AREA, HOW WILL WE PROTECT THEM ?????????????? AND PROTECT AMERICA????????????? NOW YOU CAN WORRY. IT IS AN IGNORANT MOVE BY A PRESIDENT WHO HAS NO REGARD FOR OUR MILITARY !!!!!!!!!! OR THE COUNTRY HE LEADS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WEST AFRICAN AIRPORT WAS NOT RESTRICTED AND NO RECOMMENDATIONS CAME FROM OUR GOVERNMENT OR THE OBAMA "ALL MIGHTY U.N." FOR TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING OPERATIONS. NEW SCREENING PROCESSES WERE JUST HAPPENING IN EARLY OCTOBER AND AS FOR THE PATIENT IN TEXAS, HE SEEMS TO HAVE LIED ABOUT BEING NEAR THE EPIDEMIC SITE WHICH SOME ADVANCED SCREENING MIGHT HAVE POSSIBLY CAUGHT. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF THAT.
IN AUGUST CDC TEAMS TRAINED WEST AFRICAN AIRPORT WORKERS IN THE USE OF HANDHELD SCANNERS FOR FEVER. IT FOUND 74 IN 30,000. MOST PASSENGERS WITH FEVER HAD MALARIA ( NOT A GOOD IMPORT EITHER). IT DID NOT CATCH THE TEXAS MAN'S FEVER SINCE IT IS NOT USED ELSEWHERE AND EBOLA HAS A 21 DAY INCUBATION PERIOD SO THAT SCREENING IS IFFY IN NEW CASES.
A WHOLE COMEDY OF ERRORS HAS INCLUDED POLITICS AS USUAL AND SOME ERRORS THAT THIS BLOGGER IS PROBABLY NOT PRIVY TO KNOW. IT TENDS TO POINT UP THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT READY TO GO GLOBAL. WE ARE ILL PREPARED TO FACE THE PROBLEMS THAT WILL EMANATE FROM MORE INTIMATE GLOBAL INTERACTION.
INSTRUCTIONS TO AIRLINES AND AUTHORITIES BY DR, THOMAS FRIEDEN, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, SEEM TO HAVE BEEN SLOWED BY POLITICS IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AS USUAL. THE REACTION MAY BE BECAUSE WE HAVE ESCAPED OTHER EBOLA EPIDEMICS OR BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN AFRICAN NATION. THIS BLOGGER HATES TO BRING UP RACISM AS A CAUSE BUT IT IS RATHER RIDICULOUS TO EXCUSE A WIDE SPREADING DISEASE ON THE FACT THAT AFRICA IS THE SITE AND IT MIGHT CAUSE RACIAL REPRESSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEMPORARY CONTROL WHILE THE EPIDEMIC IS ONGOING CAN NOT BE JUDGED AS PERMANENT CONTROL OR AN ATTEMPT AT RACISM. RIDICULOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE FEAR IS THAT THE WORLD CANNOT REPRESS AFRICA OR IT BECOMES A RACIAL DILEMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THAT IS A PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION THAT CANNOT BE USED TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE WORLD WIDE. WE MUST BEGIN TO SEE PRIORITIES IN THE PROPER ORDER AND HEALTH HAS TO BE ABOVE PHILOSOPHY IN MAKING THESE DECISIONS. I DOUBT PRESIDENT OBAMA WOULD PUT RACIAL DIVISION ABOVE THE THREAT OF A EPIDEMIC DISEASE IN THE HEALTH OF HIS FAMILY.
THERE IS DEFINITELY A LOSS OF PERSPECTIVE IN THE HANDLING OF THE EBOLA CRISIS THIS YEAR. ALTHOUGH THE CDC HAS BEEN PRAISED FOR ITS ACTIONS IN TESTING AND EXAMINING THE DISEASE OF AIRLINE PASSENGERS, THERE IS A NEED TO SHUT DOWN FLIGHTS TO AREAS BLIGHTED BY EPIDEMIC DISEASE.
IF THE WISH IS TO HAVE A "GLOBAL COMMUNITY" , THERE IS A NEED FOR RATIONAL THINKING THAT WILL ALLOW THAT GLOBAL COMMUNITY TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM ITSELF.
WE SIMPLY CANNOT ALLOW POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS TO INFLUENCE OUR CONCERN AND CARING FOR "ALL PEOPLES" OF ANY RACE OR COLOR. A REFLECTION OF RIGHT THAT THIS BLOGGER WOULD ORDINARILY CONSIDER UNNECESSARY TO POINT OUT BUT THIS SITUATION POINTS UP THE NEED.
"GLOBAL COMMUNITY", "ONE WORLDISM", "EVERYONE IS IN THIS TOGETHER" ATTITUDES ARE PHILOSOPHICALLY SPOUTED REGULARLY BUT LIKE MOST PHILOSOPHIES MANY OF THE DETAILS AND PROBLEMS EVOLVE RATHER THAN ARE INCLUDED IN THE IDEAS.
PHILOSOPHERS ARE NOT BIG ON "RAINING ON THEIR OWN PARADE" AND TEND TO PUSH ASIDE THE PROBLEMS THAT CAN OCCUR WITH THEIR LOFTY IDEAS. THE REST OF US PLEBIANS HAVE TO ADDRESS THE OUTCOMES OF THEIR PHILOSOPHY. AND MAKING THE GLOBE EVER CLOSER IN DISTANCE BY AIR AND SEA WILL PRESENT US WITH SOME "DOOZIES" AS IT HAS NOW..
WORLD HEALTH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
