First, let me give you some background as to what I do for a living. I work at a law enforcement dealer. Basically, my company sells guns, ammo, ballistic vests, uniforms, and other duty and tactical gear to police, fire, and military. So I deal with cops on a daily basis and have become friends with many of them.

This morning I was trying to resolve a shipping error for one of my regular customers. He is a Lieutenant at a federal police agency. His department trains with homeland security in Arkansas annually and is kept in the loop with potential threats and situations that may need his agency’s assistance. After a lengthy telephone conversation about the shipping error to his department, he got completely serious with me on the phone. He said “let me give you a tip, and take this seriously. Do not go anywhere far from home between now and November. You will not be able to get back home if you do.”. That’s all he could tell me, as I tried to get more detailed information from him by asking questions. He rushed me off the phone as if he was telling me something he shouldn’t be. I was pretty stunned at what I just was told. This gentleman has never acted like this before and is far from a so called “conspiracy nut-job”.

I feel obligated to relay his random warning to people in any way that I can. It may be complete nonsense, but in my opinion it’s better to be prepared and safe than unprepared and sh*t out of luck.

Possibly - an epidemic.

Why else - would you not be able to travel?

Assuming this to be true (highly questionable), this would tell me that this gentleman was most likely a traitor for supporting and protecting the criminal operation of an out-of-control government.

Stazi-style control of travel.

"Do you have permission to travel"? "Papers please".

Oh, exciting! I am leaving for Texas tomorrow on the plane and I love it there, visiting my sister. Maybe I should plan my bugout to my West Texas property. You are all invited! No one will ever find us out there with the coyotes and cactus.

My land is out there somewhere.

NIH superbug claims 7th victim
“This kid probably got this infection because a patient who was a carrier [of the superbug] was on the same unit,” said Gallin.

New SARS-like virus detected in Middle East
Global health officials are closely monitoring a new respiratory virus related to SARS that is believed to have killed at least one person in Saudi Arabia and left a Qatari citizen in critical condition in London.

The germ is a coronavirus, from a family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as SARS, the severe acute respiratory syndrome that killed some 800 people, mostly in Asia, in a 2003 epidemic.

In the latest case, British officials alerted the World Health Organization on Saturday of the new virus in a man who transferred from Qatar to be treated in London. He had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia and is now being treated in an intensive care unit after suffering kidney failure.

WHO said virus samples from the patient are almost identical to those of a 60-year-old Saudi national who died earlier this year. The agency isn't currently recommending travel restrictions and said the source of infection remains unknown. Still, the situation has raised concerns ahead of next month's annual Hajj pilgrimage, which brings millions of people to Saudi Arabia from around the world.

Health officials don't know yet whether the virus could spread as rapidly as SARS did or if it might kill as many people. SARS, which first jumped to humans from civet cats in China, hit more than 30 countries worldwide after spreading from Hong Kong.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He added it was unclear how the virus spreads. Coronaviruses are typically spread in the air but Hartl said scientists were considering the possibility that the patients were infected directly by animals. He said there was no evidence yet of any human-to-human transmission.

"All possible avenues of infection are being explored right now," he said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We don't know if this is going to turn into another SARS or if it will disappear into nothing," said Michael Osterholm, a flu expert at the University of Minnesota.

"You don't die from the common cold," he said. "This gives us reason to think it might be more like SARS," which killed about 10 percent of the people it infected.

A second ebola outbreak in Africa:
Ebola outbreak in DRC risks spreading to towns: WHO
staff/Yahoo News

Quote:An outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo risks spreading to major towns if not brought under control soon after the death toll doubled within a week, the World Health Organisation warned on Thursday.

The number of people killed by the contagious virus for which there is no known treatment has now risen to 31, including five health workers. Ebola causes massive bleeding and kills up to 90 percent of its victims.

Quote:Some 16 people in neighboring Uganda died of the disease last month, though the WHO said the two epidemics were not connected.

The latest WHO figures show there are now 65 probable or suspected cases of Ebola in Congo, with 108 people under surveillance.

Quote:Congo's ramshackle capital is home to at least 9 million people

From the comments:
PappaSmurf:
Weren't the projections on this 72 hrs to 12 days to spread around the world once reaching a major metropolitan city anywhere in the world. They used to joke about nuking a major city just to ensure containment. This $#it is scary!!

Beep:
Actually it depends on the strain of the virus. The Zaire strain has a very high mortality rate. The Sudan strain is just above 50%. The Ivory Coast strain, there's only one case I'm aware of, and she recovered. The Bundibugyo strain has just above a 30% mortality rate. And the Reston strain doesn't affect humans, only other primates.

So it really does depend on the strain.


Art Seagren:
I saw a 300 person village die in 12 days -- with this virus 25 years ago -- believe this or not -- they did not give the people a burial they burned every thing to the ground - and sent a team of 4 men to shoot any dog that had gotten away.

No new news on that outbreak since September 10th.
