So vaccines seem to be helping, but not solving. <br /> <br />Cases popping up away from any previous cases (containment areas) creates possibility of sudden exponential growth overwhelming containment. Which seems almost inevitable but not necessarily imminent.

Death by Ebola probably would not have the same appeal.<br /><br />That said, it would make sense that countries who we may go to war with, and even terrorist groups, may have a plan in place to unknowing infect certain people who would be likely to spread it. Since the Ebola virus can live on surfaces anywhere from hours up to nearly two weeks depending, there may be a plan to contaminate places in airports where pilots, flight attendants, and tourists traveling to the U.S. may be.<br /><br />AIDS was said to be introduced into the U.S. and spread to both coasts by a homosexual flight attendant who was said to be "patient zero". Gaëtan Dugas may not have been the only one to spread it at first, but as someone who had by his own estimate 750 sexual partners in three years he definitely had a part in spreading it around.<br /><br />So spread it to the gay male community in the form of several young attractive and sexually active gay men and it will get around. Not just sex, lots of hugging going on at social and family events too. Celebrate Pride!<br /><br />Then again, it may just be some unlucky combination of chance and stupidity bringing it here. All it would take is a few bad luck things lining up just right (right people in the right places at the right times in the right circumstances) and instead of a few cases we suddenly have blooms of numerous cases occurring in several major metro areas in rapid succession.<br /><br />Always best to be prepared.

Not a huge deal...RE: flooding and your food supply.<br />Not a huge deal as far as fresh produce or canned. Some, loss there but not enough to matter in the big scheme of things as far as I know.<br /><br />What did get flooded out or no-planted was a lot of corn and soybeans. This is a good and bad thing. Bad if you're a farmer who didn't get planted or flooded. If you did get crop in the ground it's helping to hopefully bring prices up to the break even point at least. We have an enormous glut of commodities and it's not sustainable and things are rough and are gonna get rougher in farm country. The price per bushel is a fraction of what it should be. Why? Long story.<br /><br />Anyway as a consumer you won't notice much. The corn in your box of corn flakes is a tiny fraction of the price. The damn plastic bag in the box probably costs more than the corn. Most corn goes to animal feed one way or another. A lot of corn goes to make ethanol of course but it comes right back out of the plant as dried distillers grains which makes as good or better animal food than the raw corn does. Soy you get as oil, biofuel and meal. The meal is used as animal food and gets used in foodstuffs. <br /><br />Lots of corn, soybeans and such get exported. The fact that China isn't buying our soy is hurting rural areas very hard. It's a necessary evil at the moment as the Chinese must be brought to heel with the trade imbalances and wholesale industrial and intellectual property theft. They've even caught Chinese in seed fields and testing fields stealing plants in broad daylight to send back to China to steal the traits. There's simply nothing they won't steal.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-57556829654951700242019-08-01T17:46:16.594-07:002019-08-01T17:46:16.594-07:00@Anonymous 5:08P

LOL it's even worse now. When you consider the suicide killers that abound why not pick the low hanging fruit? It's free for the taking no? So why? High plane costs? LOL nah I don't think so. Perhaps we don't understand ebola. Just guessing here but short shelf life? Maybe. Perhaps regionally nurtured? Maybe. Lab produced? Could be. Perhaps, as the virus gets out from its natural setting, DRC petri dish, it behaves like radiation but instead of distance we look at it in terms of its natural environment. In 2014 the ebola virus was even more aggressive than it is now. So what happened? It does not make sense. Too much luck too many coincidences. Not good enough. There are too many self sacrificing jihadists and other loons out there now as there was in 2014 not to take advantage of this. It does not fit.

Non-exotic stuff like green beans. We're seeing lesser amounts of the same at Fred Meyer (Pac NW Kroger groceries etc). Kroger brand no-salt green beans have been absent for a few weeks now, and now Del Monte french cut beans are out of stock. Not that I'll eat those, but a marker.<br /><br />I don't know where these are grown, but with flooding along the Missouri and Mississippi, that would be my guess. So, there may be some resistance for those case-lot sales.<br /><br />PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-77723880206680707892019-08-01T15:51:21.813-07:002019-08-01T15:51:21.813-07:00"Don't forget toilet paper, water (cheap ..."Don't forget toilet paper, water (cheap to do right now) and some entertainment.
