All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
**** Fla. Gov. approves 1-year pause on school grades TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Bills to overhaul the state's school grading system and respond to complaints about Florida's move to Common Core standards were among more than 50 pieces of legislation signed Monday by Gov. Rick Scott.
May 12th, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando- Florida health officials say there’s no broad risk from a MERS case discovered in Orlando. It’s the second confirmed case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome- or MERS co-V- in the United states. A 44 year old man is recovering at Dr. P. Phillips hospital from the respiratory illness. The patient, who is a Saudi Arabian healthcare worker, flew into Orlando May 1st to visit family. He was admitted to hospital May 9th with a fever, chills and a slight cough State surgeon general John Armstrong says the man didn’t visit any theme parks, and there’s no broad risk to the public- but the patient has been placed in isolation.
“The Florida Department of Health has been working very closely with this hospital and is particularly mindful of healthcare workers who might have been exposed and we’re following standard infection protocols,” says Armstrong.
Local health department officials say the man is doing well and expected to recover. Out of 538 worldwide cases of MERS Co V, 145 people have died. Most of the cases are in Saudi Arabia, and about one fifth are health care workers.

CDC mindful . . . 20% of MERS deaths are health care workers.
The following MERS FAQ's article posts a closing statement which begs the question(s),
1) "Why aren't medical workers involved in MERS cases quarantined for a sufficient period after contact with MERS related enviornments?"
2) It takes a certain degree of incompetence to allow anyone confirmed to have been in contact with MERS related environments to travel - local, national, continental, transcontinental modes of public transport.
INSANITY! or worse, intentional allowing MERS to spread infection globally.
ORLANDO, Fla. (KRMG) -- SARS scared the world in 2003 when 8,000 people were infected with the bug and 800 died.
That’s a 10% fatality rate.
Fast forward to 2013 and the fear is back and bigger but this time with the MERS virus.
So far there have only been 64 cases of MERS worldwide but 38 people have died, a fatality rate of 59%.
The virus affects the respiratory system and starts much like SARS with a mild cough and fever but quickly progressing to pneumonia.
MERS is currently mostly confined to the Middle East and infections are limited but doctors worry that there are many cases not yet identified.
One big problem with MERS is how fast it transfers from human to human and how it has quickly moved from hospital to hospital.
