India, Spain Testing Suspected Ebola Patients; Liberian Quarantine Center Raided
While the Ebola outbreak in west Africa has long since left the "under control" stage, things are about to go from worse to inconceivable for the poverty stricken African nations, after Liberian officials said they Ebola could soon spread through the capital's largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items including blood-stained sheets and mattresses.
According to AP, the violence in the West Point slum occurred late Saturday and was led by residents angry that patients were brought from other parts of the capital to the holding center. It was not immediately clear how many patients had been at the center. West Point residents went on a "looting spree," stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took mattresses, sheets and blankets that had bloodstains, which could spread the infection.
It goes without saying that if and when Ebola strikes the heart of one of the poorest ghettos in Africa, then there is no model that can predict just how far and wide the disease could spread.
And speaking of spreading, what many have feared may have come to pass after Spain announced it was investigating a suspected case of Ebola after a Nigerian man presented symptoms of the virus at a hospital in Alicante several days after flying in from the West African country.
The Telegraph reports:
The man, who has not been named but is said to be in his 30s, was admitted into San Joan hospital in Alicante on Saturday evening where he was being treated in an isolation unit.
Hospital sources confirmed he was suffering a fever of 38.3 degrees Celsius (100.9F) as well as "other symptoms associated with Ebola - including physical discomfort, vomiting and bleeding".
The patient told doctors that he had arrived in Spain from Nigeria "a few days ago".
Hospital authorities said they had "activated protocol" to deal with the infectious disease while they awaited test results.
But even that is nothing compared to what may transpire if what the Times of India reported moments ago, turns out to be accurate: three persons from Ebola-affected Nigeria, who arrived here Saturday morning, have been admitted to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for screening and treatment if required. The three Nigerians, aged 79, 37 and 4 years had fever and their tests were being done at the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Delhi, an official release said here.
In addition to this, a 32-year-old Indian from Durg in Chhattisgarh who returned from Nigeria has been admitted to a hospital in Bhilai. His samples are also being tested at NCDC, the release said. WHO has said air travel, even from Ebola-affected countries, is low-risk for transmission of the disease. WHO has reported a total of 2,127 cases and 1,145 deaths due to Ebola from affected countries.
India is the second most populous country in the world with a population of over 1.2 billion.

Wow, that's a pretty effective protest.
"I'm terrified that the people you brought into my neighbourhood is going to give me Ebola, so I'm going to steal blood, vomit and shit covered mattresses from the quarantine"
Makes the people of Ferguson seem like geniuses.
Africa, India, both now have large footholds in America and Europe for that matter. Just as Indians brought the resurgence of bedbugs to the US, amongst other goodies, so will these extremely dangerous contagious diseases flood the White homelands. However, it isn't too late to stop this, to reverse it. Of course you would be up against the most powerful single group in the USSA, and ZHers know who that group is...
That group isn't genetically immune to Ebola, to the best of my knowledge. You'd think this would be one situation where everbody's best interest is actually aligned.
Depends on your interest. Say there is a vaccine...
Ya send everyone back to Eurasia and then burn the boats just like the Bounty.

Spanish nigerian patient gives negative to ebola test. Today's spanish official statement.
Not the point though is it. Shows how easy it is going to be for the disease to spread due to the negligence of our Governments. They need to close the borders immediately and track down people who have left these places in the past couple of weeks to test them.
Just need to stop all flights out of Africa for now, especially those from the infected regions.
Nada, zilch flights. Includes light aircraft. Set up an air cordon and shoot anything that attempts to fly out of these countries.
Ebola spreading into Liberian slums will be fucking terrible for the people living there and will raise the infection and death count in a big way, but that's probably about as self-contained a community as you'll find - I don't think many of those people are going to be travelling anywhere, and definitely not flying.
The possible cases in Spain and India are more concerning - maybe tighter screening or mandatory quarantine for people flying out of those countries might be a good idea? (Ha ha, as if there's any real desire on the part of our fearless leaders to contain this).
Self contained until they all start dieing then it will be rats running everywhere.
And mosquitos.
What kinda fuckin idiot would want to go there anyhow?
So when exactly do we plan on stopping air travel between these backwater states and anywhere else on the globe for the duration of this breakout?
"WE" ??? YOU tell me ;-)
We'll stop the flights once every country on every continent has been infected.
Until then, eat your ebola peas.
The blood-soaked sheets and mattresses?
BAD news. That's from late-stage disease and it's hotter than hell.
Sub-Saharan Africa is gone now. Every "middle and upper class" family will attempt to flee to other parts of the world. Their servants will make little care packages of food and goods for them to take with them. Some of thier servants will be infected, and will contaminate some of those packages. These families will travel to every major urban hub in the world. Using or contacting thoes care packages, they will then become infected and start shedding Ebola for up to 5 weeks after arriving in their new locations. They will make every effort to keep from turning themselves in to Health Authorities when they do present symptoms beause they will fear being deported. This has probably already started to happen. Nations are so afraid of interrupting international travel and commerce by preventing airlines from moving people out of the infected areas in Africa, and being entirely unfamiliar with this level of plague, will not shut the doors until the Ebola plague has been spread internationally.
Nigeria is lost, Lagos is lost. Every place that asypmtomatic, infected travelers land is lost.
I hope that you are wrong, but I fear you may be right.
And I figured we would just blow ourselves up. Mom Nature beat us to it.
As George Carlin said" just the Earth, shakin us off like bunch of fleas"
It's a damn shame he didn't make it this far. One witty somofabitch.
Airlines are large buyers of banker insurance-like-products. If the airlines go under so do the banks.
If the banks go under so does...everything else.
The rider with the scales cries out for pennies because its a depression as the bankers fraud becomes unpayable.
I realize these people only think with their wallets in mind, but if ebola breaks out and everything goes down then their losses will be greater than if they it on the chin over the airlines.
Maybe Malaysian Airlines was live fire test bed. You know" there goes another one, get it before she lands"
Rev 6:1-4
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with pestilance, and with the beasts of the earth.
That about sums it up
"... but He loves you!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPOfurmrjxo
But you hate Him...
So the Four Beasts are Conquest, Division, Inflation, and Death? Together, they cause War, Famine, Pestilence and feral animals. Huh, Looks like the Four Horseman version got the names and creatures wrong, only one horseman in this version.
As I understand it the "beasts" are more accurately rendered as "creatures", and they are the angelic tour guides which direct the attention of the Apostle to four horses and four riders. Each horse and rider represent a curse on the earth, but broadly so - ie global in scale. Crows and scavangers eat the dead, and spread disease.
I will repost this. These are pictures of conditions around the Ganges river. Dead people and animals lay in the streets and float in the waters where people "bathe." What a way to spread disease.
http://www.chinasmack.com/2010/pictures/filthy-india-photos-chinese-neti...
Oooo, those are some wickedly vile photos. Sorta makes my sometimes a bit boring hobby farm seem like utopia.
And I will repost my explanation Ms.
For the Hindus , the ganges is the mother of all life(even means mother in Hindi).
Anything that dies is returned to the ganges, either as cremated ashes,if you can
afford it, or dumped into it if not.
Its a religius problem ,disguised as a sanitation one.
Don't know how you change that.
Thanks! It does give perspective to understand that this is thousands of years of tradition, you don't just change the culture in a day. But this culture is quite the medium for culturing the culture, so to speak. It just IS.
I toyed with Hinduism at one point Ms, a hundred lifetimes ago..
Walking along the ghats at night with the burning human skin sticking to me,
and bathing in the waters in the morning within crowds of thousands.Yes, with bodies
floating by, but it was still exhillarating, a great collective oneness.
The faith of the people was attractive to me at that point in my life.
Plus it was a great excuse to be stoned the whole time.Opium also
means mother in Hindi.
I have done the same kind of journey with Buddhism. Meditation, when it goes well, tops most acid trips I have been on. Clues me in that there is more to the human experience than western culture cares to address.
We arrived at the same place Ms.
The Nepalese have a hybrid of Buddhism/Hinduism.Pretty funky.
A real shame more people do not meditate.The world might not be in such a sorry state.
With meditation, I can get to some of the strange places I reached when I had a raging viral encephalitis and saw the world through a very strange lens at times. Powerful thing, the brain.
Hey, MsC.
Always good to see you. I have enjoyed reading the materials you have been posting on this topic. Thanks!
Glad you lived through the encephalitis. Does not look like fun times at all.
Sincere thanks. I always look for your posts. And I'm glad too (greatful for the opportunity, etc.).
And go hungry, with steak on the hoof everywhere.
The one answer to all the problems we have on this planet is population reduction. If there were only say 3 billion people on this planet every resource problem would be halved. If ebola spreads, it will be Mother Nature cleaning things up.
Filthy, dirty, disgusting people. Why doesn't their Government legislate to stop this and clean the river up?
The Government cannot do that, that would be heresy and desecration, there would be religious war if they tried to do that.
While we look down on it, that is definitely a different take on evolutionary strategy. By living in filth, lots of people will die constantly, but those that survive will be resistant to a lot more diseases than those of us in the Western world who are too used to hygenic conditions and dependant on modern medicine.
Perhaps humanity as a whole benefits by having diverse strategies, so the best strategies will result in the fittest humans.
Thats false. The diseases evolve along with the people so nothing ever changes the balance. If living in disease allowed you to resist that disease then there wouldn't be disease today.
You can't out mutate the kings of mutation.
It is not about creating people immune to all disease, but rather people immune to diseases that other groups of people are not immune to.
Just as the indigenous people of the Americas suffered ~90% losses from the waves of plague brought over by Europeans, waves of plague could come out of India that only kills a small percentage of them, but large amounts of everyone else.
Ding..ding..ding...we have a winner!
Edit : BBQ
Soon they will have many, many more corpses to return to the Ganges.
I couldn't get thru it last time and I'm not gonna try again.
It does present a readjustment.
Dont' worry, this outbreak is no big deal, control it an it will just go away...........
CDC Chief Tom Frieden Confronts Ebola Crisis Cool and CollectedFrieden says that there's a very real possibility that someone infected with Ebola will enter the United States. But the chances of a U.S. outbreak are highly unlikely; it’s a matter of isolating patients, careful cleaning and using protective clothing, which American hospitals are very good at. He has pressed Congress for more money to help other countries prevent, detect and stop Ebola and other infectious diseases.
"Ebola so scary and so unfamiliar, it's really important to outline what the facts are, and that we know how to control it. We control it by traditional public health measures. We do that, and Ebola goes away."
And this party line will be published and obeyed until the very minute that it gets out of control here ... and then they will change their public stance, and comletely over react and shut the entire country down in desperation. Just remember: 2-21 day incubation peiod, up to 2 weeks infective outside of the body ... and what if an enemy were seeing an opportunity here? But we have no blood enemies, do we??
In this case blood is the enemy.
It looks like Zero is going to have to resort to Put-Put golf in the bowels of Cheyenne Mountain?
How long does the virus stay active in sweat deposit, say from a plane passenger coming from 30ºC carrying heavy luggage and touching a hand rest, a seat, a lavatory faucet, a luggage overhead bin, or a meal tray?
Fucking WHO morons on the superstate payroll.
Hours to days, from what I've read. Ebola is considered a "hardy" virus.
Up to two weeks on surfaces. All body fluids are infective. Airlines are not yet sanitizing their aircraft between flights. And let's face it, this is a Level 4 contagion. They might as well swab these aircraft with holy water for all the good it will do.
Also, supposedly "cured" people still shed the virus for up to two MONTHS.
Only via semen, unless you have other data.
haha, sure, let's just say "your guess as good as mine", but it only takes one guy wanting to get back in the game after a time away from the action, ya know
Fortunately, the residents of the various countries in West Africa are famous for their superior impulse control.
I have read semen (61 days) and urine.
http://www.alegentcreighton.com/body.cfm?id=4794&action=detail&ref=3856275
Yeah, and remember 1 virus partical is all it takes. So, all those folks washing public urinals ... will have to wear level 4 haz Mat gear to clean those urinals.
The Ganges will be the new ebola river.
Ebola will not affect me. Black Jesus will protect me.
Unicef has a new poster out. Must See TV!

Excellent marksmanship, hitting the hole with that diarrhea! 10!
WHO FDA CDC etc etc are not responding like this is an emergency. They have meetings to discuss the agenda for future meetings but nothing actually gets done. They call a press conference to announce the protocol for how "experimental drugs" should distributed but don't actually implement the protocol and distribute the drugs. e.g. The Canadian government donated 1,000 doses of a vaccine and the doses are still sitting in Winnipeg because WHO can't decide where they should be sent. The people in charge don't seem to care about the people that are dying.
I suggest that all the people in charge at WHO FDA CDC be infected with the virus - then we might see some action instead of just talk
Lagos makes sense, I would think. We'll see what they decide. It's a clinical trial in a hotzone, which does complicate things.
One thing they absolutely have to establish is that it works, and works by enough to help. They only get one shot at that.
yes send something that valuable to nigeria and watch it get ripped off good plan.
Perhaps that is causing the hold-up :)
It's a vaccine - it's best tested somewhere the virus is not yet well-established. That would seem to rule out Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
You live in one of these afflicted African countries and you have the money to fly; you have the money to bribe the immigration and health people to look the other way and let you out so you can get to medical facilities that are not already infected. Because if you check into one of those facilities that are already infected you are a goner.
Bribery, what's that?
And the US says it is the responsibility of the point of embarkation to screen passengers.
Hmmmmmmmmm...
Given the horrific consequences of an ebola epidemic, would it be too much to ask that passengers be screened when they disembark, also?
Exactly. The only way to stop this is to stop all transportation of people and goods from any area with known cases, and firewall it for up to 6 months AFTER the last case in that area is "cured".
Fat chance in hell.
ETA: EU just stopped acceptance of all "repatriation flights" to effected areas. Whatever that means. But IT has started.
Quarentines don't work they enable it to spread faster by putting groups of people togather sick or not, and forceing flight and hide.
Quarentines are only about projecting confidence, and force. If you want a real solution you need expensive isolation and care. Never going to happen. So you get more virus instead of less, like every other government program.
Yes, well understood, and well documented.
In the beginning, they will be very easy to identify. This will get ugly.
We're routing ebola in the east. We're routing ebola in the west. So much so that we must import Africans so to prove how much we are routing ebola further!
There will be no ebola in the UK. - Property prices only ever go up in the UK.
I'm sure there is a link here, if only I could put my bleedin' finger on it???.....I know: maybe I have those two statements the wrong way round?
Outsource the death penalty, send this guy to Liberia
http://t.co/65KidNW0UI
I hate to be right about something like this - but I shared a link several weeks back that showed graphicly the filth that people live with in India. Basically, if something like this spreads to a place like India, which is more unhygenic than the presently infected portions of Africa, God help humanity because India won't be able to contain it.
This unfortunately reminds me of that Matt Damon film from a few years ago regarding a pandemic. The name escapes me though.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/
IMDB is your friend.
http://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/viruses101/could_the_black_death_act...
Plenty of people think that the Black Death was an ebola type virus. I asked a doctor at the Liverpool centre for tropical diseases where I was getting some innoculations. The doctor agreed that many supported that theory.
Those darn medievalists feasting on fruit bats!
More like brought in on ships. On purpose or not.
Wasn't it the Romans or Ghengis Kahn (or someone else) who would catapult dead bodies of plaque victims into cities they were laying seige to? (The first recorded instance of biological warfare.)
India is a kickass place for virii!
So what happens when nigeria's oil exports are shut down because of Ebola?
That is a problem. Do you have a horse?
Sheriff Rick from The Walking Dead had a horse, and it didn't work out well for the horse.
Putin makes more money for Russia.
Hopefully India's poor infrastructure will prevent Ebola from spreading if it has reached there lol.
The probable disastrous new EBOLA stats are due out tomorrow. Much as the W.H.O. wants to play 'TEPCO' and prevent worldwide awareness of, in this case, the exploding EVD pandemic, they do release data on new cases and deaths every 2 days, for the recent 2 day period ending 2 days earlier (3 days later for Thurs-Fri data).
Last Friday 8/15 around noon Pacific for example they announced new worldwide cases of 152 and deaths of 76 for the 2 day period Tue.-Wed. 8/12-8/13. May not sound too bad, but what they don't want you to ferret out is that 116 of the total 152 new cases (76%), and 58 of the 76 deaths ( also 76%), were from ONE country, the slum-ridden, Ebola-undermanaged-and-uncontained Liberia.
Liberian 2 day rates of increase for new cases were 8% for 8/8-8/9, call it 4%/day, 12% for the 2 days 8/10-8/11, and 17% (SEVENTEEN%) for the 2 days 8/12-8/13. Today's new case numbers should exceed 20% for the 2 days 8/14-8/15, Ill guess 160 plus (unless they've suddenly decided to just start LYING), a 10% increase/day, that indicates the parabolic and disastrous spread that can occur in Lagos or other populated cities or countries once the EVD escapes.
170 EVD infected, properly "protected" health workers (and 80 of them dead) prove how wrong W.H.O. and CDC are in propagandizing that air travel remains safe, and the disease is not transmissable by air. The upcoming incidence numbers and rates of increase will prove their ignorance and duplicity.
I've, also, been following the disease outbreak news reports coming out of the WHO. The breakdown of new cases is a very helpful tool. Though, even Margaret Chan, said these numbers could be off by a factor of 20. The key number to watch is new cases in Nigeria, which seem to have topped out around 12. That latest info is pretty bad for liberia, but Monrovia compares nothing to Lagos when it comes to population.
No, unfortunately the key is sweat on luggage overhead bins and a 3wk asymptomatic window.
iF 'new cases in Nigeria...seem to have topped out' after going from zero cases to a grand total of 12 cases, while cases elsewhere nearby have risen to 2127 and continue rising at 7.7% per 2 days, then either Nigeria's containment and treatment methods need to be studied and immediately copied by Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, or EVD just hasn't even started its uncontrollable spread in Nigeria - or perhaps - Nigeria has not reported their real numbers, and deserves the TEPCO/EU "When it gets serious, you just have to lie" award.
Next week's horrendous WHO numbers will reveal a growing, uncontrolled pandemic, of a new 'air-to-air-and-touch' transmissable strain of EVD, or else make LYING about and SUPPRESSION of the actual statistics a formidable task for WHO, CDC, African national authorities, and the corporate print and broadcast media.
I really believe they are going to lie and cover up about 50% of the degree of spread. the numbers will be bad, but feel safe to double their figures. Plus, I read the WHO really is only catching a fraction of real cases, as many people with it never see a health worker and die at home or in a village. Infected are chased into the jungle by villagers, run out of towns. Fuck, it is anyone's guess how bad this is.
American health officials have repeatedly said Ebola can not spread in America even if it arrives. They may be right, if you catch the first few cases, you can crush the virus before it has a chance to move around. But, then how long are you infectious before you get sick? Sex transmits the virus. One sex partner, a whore, and she sends the virus all over town. This is how it would probably get going in a modern nation with mass and modern medical care systems.
BTW, all stats related to this are under reported by 300+% so says the guy who runs Samaratan's Purse.
This may sound rascist and not conforming to neoliberal worship of open borders, but I say. "Shut the fucking borders to flights from West Africa!" Too fucking bad if they don't like it. To fly international planes in and out of infected cities every hour of every day to all points in the world is plain insane! Who or what is promoting Ebloa as a profit center? Someone seeks to make profit from this outbreak.
And US Doctoes on CNN said, nothing at all can threaten America. Even if infected come off of African flights, any hospital in America wcan islolate and treat them and NO ONE will become infected. Thus all transport from West Africa to Americna cities can carry on as if Ebola does not exist. What the CNN doctor said was simply. "We in American are so exceptional that even Ebola can not harm us. It may rage in other nations, but here it can not touch us."
I believe that these American Exceptioalism fools will be the death of us all. Either through their military wars, their trade wars or now their open borders at all costs with an out of control Ebola disease. These neocons and neoliberals are evil fuckers!
It's not American Exceptionalism, its economics, and the economic necessity of maintaining the ponzi and preventing the reset, that will be the death of us.
You cannot shut down the flow of people without shutting down the flow of raw materials and other goods. Necessary finished products (medical products, food etc) are imported into Africa in exchange for raw materials (oil, alumina, gold, cocoa). Shutting down trade will lead to societal breakdown in Africa, at which point even more people become infected and the governments are even less capable of controlling the migration of an even larger number of infected people.
Maybe, but don't we need several rewrites/sequels to "Snakes/Zombies/Ebola on a Plane"?
Samuel Jackson will give us HOPE.
English, Motherfucker! Do you speak it?!
BBBlllllaahhhhh....

When discussing or commenting on Africa and Africans everyone needs to take their set of Western believes and values and leave them at the door.
Nigerian government is obviously doing something and it may seem drastic to us but they know best what will work for their people. Sounds to me as if they're establishing a containment area for the sick in the part of West Point. If all the sick get contained there, it will make it easier to secure and possibly decontaminate the rest of the city.
Given the same circumstances, do you think the American government would establish such a holding facility in places like Ferguson or on Park Avenue? Sure, the locals who happen to be poor do not like being ultimately forced to stick it out with the sick in this modern day Leper colony but what is the option? The sick are basically condemned to die in 50% of the cases. Where they die is irrelevant and their relatives should stay as far away as possible or face taking the same odds at survival.
Lepers were treated exactly like this centuries ago and for good reason. Otherwise the entire population faced extinction. If necessary, the WHO will declare the entire West Africa a gigantic Leper colony with no flights, no ships, no trains, no buses in or out. There are vast amounts of desert and harsh terrain between West Africa and the rest of the world. Nobody would escape from there. Even if they did, they'd either die trying as it takes several weeks or if they survived, they would be healthy.
The sick will not be contained, walls or no walls people can find ways out of confinement.
If i locked you in a room with a bunch of sick people would you try and find a way out?
Now if you were sick (cold, flu ..etc) would you try and hide it so you dont get lock up with a bunch of sick ebola people?
It just spreads the virus faster, thats all it does.
pros and cons to this way of dealing with terminally contagious sick.
Africans are arriving in Italy by boatloads. Italian authorities will have to check every one of them in the near future.
From a recent Daily Mail article. Italian authorities are now accepting all immigrants who can get across the sea to their territories. But the Italians wuickly move them on with food, clothes and some money and the Africans use this help to leave Italy and head for the United Kingdom, Germany and Scandinavia. When questioned, nearly every African wants to cross the channel into the United Kingdom. They say if they can't get across to England, they will move east and then north with Sweden and Norway as their second choice. Italians cope with the immigrants masses by helping them move on north. I have read this in several news sources over the last 6 months. Italian intelligence sources say that 1 million Africans are now camped on the north coast of Africa waiting to try a boat crossing to Italy or Spain. Asked about their unltimate goals, the Africans ALWAYS say they are planning on living in the United Kingdom. ONLY if that move fails will they take Sweden or Norway as a second choice.
The nations of northern Europe are ruled by neoliberal open border politicians and are backed up by left wing liberals who support open borders as state policy.
So Italy is like the Mexico of Europe ? Let them all pass through, and shuffle them to points north.
Boats can sink.
How about a class action / boycott against airlines flying people from infected countries.
Threaten their profits and they may start acting with integrity.
>> India is the second most populous country in the world with a population of over 1.2 billion. <<
Let's see where they stand a year from now.
Isn't it ridiculous authorities allow planes still flying in and out of ground zero to all parts of the world? What are they thinking?
The US and Russia might have to agree on nuking some of these African cities.
Just thinking out loud here...ISIS, Al Queda (i.e. islamic terrorists) hate the US, a 21-day incubation period and a southern border that's wide open. What could go wrong?
If an African country closes its borders with another African country - is it racist? Is it tribal prejudice? What if a non-African country does the same?
Imagine, 50% dead, 50% cures, but the ones who regain their health will suffer from brain damage. The post-ebola world will go mental.
You are describing a zombie except for not eating brains.
That would be Mr. Yellen, right?
Oh wait, that's a zombie without any brains.
maybe bill gates bush yo blair soros and der rothschilds could pay us some money to kill are selfs

'The Journal Of The Plague Year' written by Daniel Defoe in the 1700's is a must read for the spread of the Black Plague for source material. Defoe is credited with being the father of modern journalistic style of writing. He is better known for writing 'Robinson Caruso'.
Sounds like in the last 5 days it has about burned itself out again and stopped spreading.
As predicted by the head of Samaritans Purse last week. He said a 2 week lull in Nigeria due to the incubation period then an explosion in cases. Looking like he has it right so far.
Stasteside.
Calm down, you moon howlers!
Everything is under control.
The Fed will print vaccines.
The Ponzi Munchkin and her minions will appear on every lamestream show and tout their charts and statistics showing that not only is ebola under control, but the economic growth resulting from the jobs created will produce 500% GDP.
Anyone who disagrees or asks pertinent questions will be excoriated a la Santelli.
Now STFU and BTFD.
As always, the only real solution to these problems is to enact tax cuts for the rich.
Is there an attorney reading this article who can/will file an injunction (or whatever needs to be filed) against any further flights to USA from countries where ebola is active, and add to the list of countries if more, tragically, find their citizens too are infected? Someone? Anyone?
duplication -- sorry, weather event.

"The apparent improvement in the two U.S. healthcare workers' condition has stoked popular pressure to make the drug available to Africans - a cause advocated by the Twitter hashtag group #giveustheserum."
Why would they want rum ?
Maybe they meant: #GiveUsTheSerum
Ahh, never mind. Tweeters can't use upper case. Didn't KNOW.

"The New Mexico Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are performing tests to determine if a 30-year-old New Mexico woman has Ebola.
The woman returned earlier this month from Sierra Leone, which is one of several countries in West Africa with known cases of Ebola.
The woman has sore throat, head ache, muscle aches and fever and is in stable condition at University of New Mexico Hospital.
She had no known exposure to Ebola and health department officials said the tests are being done “out of an abundance of caution.”
“The Department of Health is working closely with UNM Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on this investigation,” Department of Health Cabinet Secretary Retta Ward, said in a news release. “UNM Hospital has isolated the patient, and is following the appropriate protocols to ensure other patients and health care workers are safe.”
Peak oil has been delayed through shale plays...gig is up on shale....if I wanted to mask a 10 percent drop in oil supplies...
Why are there still people posting here saying Nigeria is contained since there are only 12 cases. The head of Samaritans purse said 10 days ago that you would see a 2 week lull and then an explosion in cases in Nigeria. What is so hard to understand about this? Its almost like we have NIH people posting here trying to downplay this. We are in the eye of the hurricane. Get it?
Stateside.
What happens if some Muslim Jihad fuck heads travel to Africa with vials to fill with Ebola. Very easy to do with sick and dead lying about. Jihadists are suicidal so they wouldn't care if they caught it. The fuck knows what the insane believers in Jihad could do.
Such jihadists get 72 virgin ebola zombies, and a subscription to 'I am an idiot' magazine.
Hmm, what happens if someone heavily contimanated with Ebola detonates a suicide vest in public?
They spread Allah on everyone. Also you step in deep Allah.
Terrifying to think the virus survives in & on a dead body ( I assume at room temperature) and can be contracted through a microscopic droplet.
I live in the country surrounded by farm land. Large dead animals produce a lot of flies that spread out over a big area. Bodies in the streets. Lots of flies. Everybody & every surface gets touched.
Flies eat by regugitating their stomach contents onto the surface they are trying to eat from. They do this to moisten the food that might be on the surface, then they slurp the vomit back into their thorax.
But, no, you are not going to get ebola that way, nope.
India has a perfect mix for EBOLA once it gets started there. A billion plus people, large swaths of the population have no plumbing or hygene, poor infrastructure, limited healthcare that is easily overwhelmed, very dense population in cities, extremly crowded trains. Not to mention the communial baithing in the Gangies river, or cramped living. Also, the hindu minset is fatalistic. Lord, Krishna, and Zeus help that poor country when ebola gets there.
Really, stealing a blood stained mattress from an ebola quarantene is below a Darwin award.
I saw a documentary of West Point Liberia with human poop every few feet on the beach and shanty brothels that served men for 25cents. Extreme squalor and ignorance. Liberia may have put the ebola ward there to wipe out the unwanted locals that have been a problem there for some time.
Brings Stupid to a whole new level. Just about no Zombie Apocalypse movies actually feature the populace at large deliberately spreading the virus as fast as possible, either deliberately, or just as quickly by en-masse pretending there is no such thing & contaminating everything & everyone just to prove it.
This is just about the only Idiocracy-level retardation that actually stops idiocracy from happening: stupidity so bad that it kills off the population before the slow slide down to everyone being dumb.
