The world is in a panic. A disease that was discovered in our lifetime that liquifies the internal organs if it advances beyond its initial phase, has been rampaging through West Africa, and is now popping up around the world. After the first confirmed case in Texas, reports are coming in from all over the United States. Are the reports of new cases simply the the result of panic? Or reality?
In the Dallas area, where the first U.S. Ebola infected patient is in serious condition, officials still have not been able to identify all of the people that came in contact with the visiting Liberian. The government is in a panic of its own, without telling you.
Sure, we are told the disease is difficult to spread. But if it is that hard to spread, how is it becoming such a problem? AIDS is not easy to spread, and look at what it has done worldwide.
As we, as a nation, fail to secure our borders, and keep welcoming flights from the infected region of the world (while the CDC says banning flights would make the outbreak worse!), legal potential immigrants are fearful of any backlash they may receive as a result of the fear that is rising regarding this disease. Are we on the verge of isolationism in an attempt to quarantine the rest of the world away from us?
Estimates suggest that Ebola will be marching through Europe by the end of the month. And all of this is going on as Marburg (a hemorrhagic fever virus like Ebola) has appeared in Uganda, Enterovirus D68 is spreading through the schools in the U.S. (along with the tuberculosis, scabies, and other inflictions the illegal aliens are dumping into our country), and experts warn MERS could be rampaging through Africa too, by the Spring, as pilgrims to Mecca bring the respiratory illness back from the Saudi Peninsula.
Pestilence, a biblical plague that we seem to be experiencing just the tip of the iceberg of, and it has us all in a panic. Bring on a few earthquakes, a few more droughts, famine, and a plague of locusts, and we'll be set for some real devastation.
