A Pandemic Plague, Possible Travel Bans Being Mulled Over By The President, Operation Inherent Resolve And Healthcare Workers On The No Fly List

  

     OK the news isn't so good, it is a lot to digest from ISIS to the hot seat that Dr. Tom Frieden is finding himself  in.  One thing that is certain though is that we can not collectively panic. I was having a visit with a neighbor last night that works for the FDA as an Administrator  and before that he worked for NIH. As we covered all of the usual topics we finally got around to Ebola and he asked me point blank "should we start to panic"  "of course not"  was my answer. Ebola is not something that you can freak out about and run away from. We all know what happens when you do, Thomas Eric Duncan " bugged out" and brought Ebola with him to the United States in his desperate search for survival.

NIH

     The World seems like it is spinning out of control; in these times when everything seems random and chaotic one must stop, take a deep breath and dare I say it...pray. Pray for guidance, pray for clarity, pray for peace and pray for the souls of the 4,500 already dead  from the awful scourge of Ebola. Pray for the 9,000 infected in West Africa. Pray out of gratitude that we live where we do.
 I live half a mile away from NIH where Amber Vinson  will be staying for awhile. Welcome to the neighborhood Amber and I sincerely hope that you recover.

I know that God is out of fashion in the United States today but in this land that was founded upon religious freedom I am going to out myself. I believe in God. It is OK if you want to laugh and scoff at me. That it is your Right and I am not one to take anyone's rights from them. Why would God let such an awful thing like Ebola exist you might ask.  It's not for me to answer because I can't begin to fathom the infinite mind that is the Creator's. I do know one thing though Nature does seem to have a natural built in system of checks and balances. Think about it in the last Forty years 52%  of the World's animals have died and you can blame it on human over consumption and ignorance. The Arabica  bean will be gone within the next 70 years. Checks and balances my friends.
