Wrath of Dagon

Straw man. I'm not saying don't fight it there or don't send aid, but stop non-essential travel to outside. Banning travel would've stopped the current two incidents, any idiot should be able to see that. Edit: You'll notice how it's OK for other African countries to restrict travel, including South Africa which Bruce never answered me about, but we have to be the martyrs to the world, because we're evil or something. https://www.internationalsos.com/ebola/index.cfm?content_id=435&language_id=ENG

B) Isn't so unlikely, the government's been lying just about everything. The link I posted wasn't just referring to Hunter (if at all), but to reports from Judicial Watch, which has already uncovered several government cover ups. Edit: Here's another cover up for you, there seems to be one every day: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/10/11/Army-Refuses-to-Release-Findings-of-Bergdahl-Investigation

Not all travelers right now, just the ones from affected countries. That guy wanting to see his girlfriend and overstay his visa isn't a good enough reason to expose the entire country to a deadly disease.

Well, we got the first transmission in the US. Thanks Obola, you degenerate cretin.

The transmission is relatively slow, but by the same token you don't know who to quarantine until they start showing symptoms, at which point they also become infectious. A small outbreak can be contained by contact tracing, but if it ever becomes too large it'll be impossible to track all the contacts, and then it becomes an epidemic.

Dead Souls is a novel by Gogol.

It's doubling every month, what's 2 to the power of 12? http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/11/world/africa/officials-admit-a-defeat-by-ebola-in-sierra-leone.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0 Edit: The reason it seems to start slowly is because it has a long incubation period, during which the victim is supposedly not infectious. But in the long run that's irrelevant, unless the re-infection rate is brought to below 1.

He meant "so that the public doesn't learn the truth". I'd believe Judicial Watch over the Feds any day, the Feds have been caught lying again and again, speaking of mainstream sources the Washington Post discovered another White House cover up just today. But I'll concede the facts about ISIS are in dispute at this point. Hunter's source has already admitted that people who were apprehended only "might" have been ISIS. Nothing is in dispute. Hunter heard a rumor and decided to state it as fact; quite irresponsibly. The department of homeland security went ahead and let people know the rumor was BS; not that they should have even been needed to clarify since the idea that ISIS would sneak into the country through the Mexican border is stupid. Johnson has made similar denials before, only to admit later that there was something to the reports. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/homeland-security-says-terrorists-havent-crossed-us-mexico-border/ Of course there's no way to know the full truth unless the government owns up to it, but I don't trust anything they say.

It's inevitable because of the refusal to quarantine the countries affected, and the studies said so.

You may not believe you're a Democrat, but when was the last time you actually voted for a Republican for a nationwide office? And for your information, I do read different sources, you're the one with a phobia for conservatives. I evaluate everything objectively and am well aware of biases on either side. Trust me, I check out every link I post to the best of my ability.

I want to get Styx, but just can't handle another game right now. Focus has been very active lately. Do you have any thoughts on how it compares to Dishonored?

Except it isn't true. http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/08/politics/jeh-johnson-duncan-hunter-isis/ He meant "so that the public doesn't learn the truth". I'd believe Judicial Watch over the Feds any day, the Feds have been caught lying again and again, speaking of mainstream sources the Washington Post discovered another White House cover up just today. But I'll concede the facts about ISIS are in dispute at this point. Edit: That's citing. Do you understand that the mainstream news outlets also have a very specific agenda, like getting Obola elected? Over 90% of mainstream journalist are Democrats.

Sure, who's going to volunteer though, we're not obligated to put ourselves in danger. Also it works a little different with your own citizens than with another country, else we'd be responsible for fixing all the world's ills.

Not at all. It would be a case of incompetence; not murder. Failing to save some one is not murder. If you have the ability to save someone an intentionally choose not to, than yes it is murder. Btw, the deputy who was hospitalized yesterday was tested and is OK.

They're here : http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/10/08/judicial-watch-four-isis-terrorists-arrested-in-texas-in-the-last-36-hours/

Anyone sane will. But I thought Nigeria doesn't currently have an outbreak. Btw, one of the deputies who was in Duncan's apartment is sick. They say chances that it's Ebola are low though.

Yes, really hard to transmit : http://www.medindia.net/news/virus-pioneer-says-you-cant-overprotect-against-ebola-142228-1.htm#ixzz3FYp6mAvr

No one's tried that experiment so far as I know. But here's the psychopath lying his head off : http://twitchy.com/2014/10/01/bombshell-watch-cdc-director-deny-then-admit-that-ebola-can-be-spread-by-casual-contact-video/

These are experts on the subjects saying this. The lies come when we're repeatedly told that Ebola can not be transmitted through air, when in reality that's nothing but an educated guess at best. Even the psychopath head of the CDC had to admit in a CNN interview that someone can get infected if sick individual sneezes on them, and in fact being within 3 feet of an infected individual is a risk according to CDC guidelines, not just "direct contact" that's been touted. As far as peer review, where's the peer review paper that says Ebola can only be transmitted by direct contact?

Not all traffic from Africa, just non-essential travel from countries with Ebola epidemics (3 of them). That would be very simple. Most African countries have done so already. Here's an update on the Enterovirus: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/10/02/enterovirus-68-what-you-need-to-know/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&ref=science&_r=1& I read that in the schools where children exposed to Duncan were attending, they've put in automatic temperature scanners to give early warning of anyone developing symptoms. That seems like a good idea in all schools all the time, American parents have the unfortunate habit of sending their sick children to school because they can't miss work, turning schools into germ factories. Tylenol once had an absolutely amazing commercial where a mother gave Tylenol to a feverish child so that he could go and play with his friends! Isolating children with fever would do wonders to improve overall health. Edit: Btw, a nurse in Spain just came down with Ebola, so that's the first case of transmission in a Western country.

I don't see what's so troubling, no one has died of a nuclear weapon in US yet, but we should still worry about the possibility. It's not that I'm dismissing the danger of the Enterovirus, it's just that there appears nothing we can do about it, while the spread of Ebola to the US would be relatively easy to stop at this stage. Edit: Also, Colbert is a clown and an idiot, you do poorly by citing him. First, no one's claiming there's been an outbreak yet, only that it's now possible, and second the stuff he says about CDC competent response at the beginning of the video is patently not true, I can give you several examples. Couldn't watch any more, just can't stomach that guy.

By intentionally allowing their citizens to be potentially exposed to a deadly contagious disease, which they could've easily prevented (exposure, not the disease).

It's certainly worrisome, but doesn't seem to have anywhere near the mortality rate of Ebola, seems to be more like the flu. Two weeks of food won't do squat if you're trying to sit out an epidemic. Realistically any country that has people arriving from Western Africa should be concerned about Ebola. But we also know that one of the main reasons for the rampant spread of the virus in Western Africa is due to the poor healthcare infrastructure and the fact that many of the people infected are not educated and are superstitious. So the victims don't understand how to properly treat Ebola This shouldn't an issue for Western countries, we know that the experimental drug used to treat several infected Westerners has worked and we also know that Western countries understand the importance of the principle of quarantine. So even if Ebola does start spreading in the USA I am confident it can be contained and addressed so that it doesn't become this epidemic Does SA let in people from affected countries? Also they've run out of that drug, apparently they can only make very small quantities. Well the incubation period is up to 3 weeks, it's only been a week or so since he was isolated, though I certainly hope everyone will be OK. If anyone else gets it, our government will be guilty of attempted murder or actual murder. It was just reported though I don't know if it's true that 9 other people got infected from the woman that Duncan was supposedly infected by.

I'm definitely interested in hearing your continued (as spoiler-free as possible) impressions of Crimes ans Punishment once you play it some more. I'd love to play a good Sherlock Holmes game. I'm stuck in the first case. I seemed to have done everything right according to the guide, but at one point a character doesn't spawn, so I can't proceed. Pretty sure it's a bug, but may be only on 360, I haven't been able find anyone else having that problem. As far as gameplay, definitely a matter of preference. You hunt for clues, have conversations which only have options according to the evidence you find, make deductions, and based on that find more evidence and have more conversations. Not the most exciting thing in the world but fun for some, I'm liking it. There's also an occasional mini-game or puzzle. Game definitely seems more logical than most puzzle adventures, so that's a big plus. The most annoying thing is to constantly have to shuttle back and forth between Baker Street, Scotland Yard, and the crime scene (basically a fairly long load each time). My bad, it's not a bug. I contacted tech support and I missed what seemed like a very minor clue. This is the walkthrough they direct you to if you get stuck : http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcSs/SH7/SH7.htm The way you know you missed evidence is the task in your journal to investigate an area doesn't go away when you think you're done.
