Did you perhaps miss the point of this thread?
i thought the point was, '' these strange times ''
i think it strange that the mourning and sympathy for the atrocity that was 9.11 doesnt extend to the massive loss of life and human suffering that resulted from 9 11, ( im laying no blame for this, just stating facts) just coz this happened in the main to human beings who are not american or British if you throw 77 into the mix, even stranger that people are denying it happened at all
nations and im including the UK in this, just so you dont think its anti american bias, have suddenly developed a real regard for the sanctity of human life, that didn't exist before, it became a threat to them personally,
you cant find a homeless person in Manchester, they have put them all in nice hotels. no one in power cared at all about there well being until they became a threat to the safety of the not homeless. suddenly they matter, that is '' strange'', '' we dont care if they die of cold or malnutrition, but not the virus, cant have that '' even stranger''
this is a life threat to circa 1 % of the global population, which is a eye watering number, however 10 % of the world population are to malnourished to lead a healthy life and circa 10 million die of starvation a year every year which is its self an eye watering number, a 100 million a decade, about which very few people care tuppence ( infact if they all gave tuppence it could be largely eradicated) because in the main it doesn't effect them at all,,, strange beyond belief that dieing of one thing is considered worse than dieing of another
considering many of the troops worked in Africa during the Ebola epidemic I doubt they are bothered by this disease. If you think they aren't prepared for this then you're mistaken, action was taken quite some time ago which means the troops will be ready for whatever they need to do.
. You're a warm soul whom I have grown rather fond of, as have many here.
