Ten Killed From "Ebola-Like Symptoms" In Africa's Second Largest Country
While the world awaits the test results from an Ebola suspect in Sacramento to learn if Ebola has now officially entered the US, the epidemic in Africa has now drifted away from the confines of its original hotspots of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, and after spreading to Africa's most populous nation Nigeria, and the third most populated city in the world, Lagos, it appears to have just entered the second largest country in Africa by area, and fourth most populous African nation: the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Reuters reports that the Democratic Republic of Congo has sent its health minister and a team of experts to the remote northern Equateur province after several people died there from a disease with Ebola-like symptoms, a local official and a professor said on Wednesday.
"An illness is spreading in Boende but we don't know the origin," said Michel Wangi, a spokesman for the governor's office. "The government has sent a team of experts from the INRB(National Institute of Biomedical Research) this morning led by the health minister (Felix) Kabange Numbi and acting governor Sebastian Impeto."
A professor accompanying the delegation in the presidential plane confirmed that they were en route this morning to find out "the exact nature of the illness that caused the Boende deaths".
An Equateur resident who asked not to be named said that around ten people had died, including four health care workers, after suffering from fever, diarrhoea and bleeding from the ears and nostrils - all symptoms of the deadly Ebola virus.
It was not immediately clear if there was any connection with Ebola. An epidemic of that disease has killed more than 1,200 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
We expect that it will be "clear" quite soon, at which point one can add the DRC to the list of increasingly more confirmed countries where the Ebola epidemic, so far completely "priced in", has spread to.

I thought Africa was a country?
Joe Biden
Haha apparently ain't no Country for old men!
If you like your Ebola you can keep your Ebola.
Do we not count the airlifted to Atlanta ebola patient as having entered the US?
Well, hopefully, we're still accepting international flights from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
We wouldn't want to profile anyone much less a whole nation and hurt their itty bitty feewings.
Long Chlorox.
to learn if Ebola has officially entered the US...
Uh, Tylers, last time I looked, Atlanta was in the US,
but maybe we should get a ruling from Biden and Bath House. Good Grief.
Pool chlorine is much cheaper.
We may be needing a shitload.Quick lime also.
Well, with the building slump, we have plenty of under utilized back hoes and cats.
I've been reading up on this, Winston, and it's not pretty. Good time to go Gault. South Florida will be... interesting.
My neighbors are from the Congo, but I'm not sure which one. The parents don't speak much English, but the children, all 5 of them, attend a Christian school and speak fluent English. This summer the father returned to Africa to manage his construction business. He did return about a month ago, but i do not know if he went back again.
During that month he was here, I helped the kids remove a frog from the basement window well. Along with the frog, I removed a carcass of a mouse or small bird that was in the midst of decomposition. Armed with rubber gloves I removed the frog. The carcass and gloves went to the outside garbage.
About an hour later I got a really bad headache. Tried to tough it out, but ended up crawling for the pills. It just kept getting tighter, developing a slight pain in my chest. I noticed I was getting clammy and possibly running a fever. When I awoke, I was fine, and haven't had soo much as a sniffle since then. But man, it was severe. I was two steps from moaning.
I think the chances I was exposed to some form of Ebola is about 2 billion to 1. Guess I'm just in the mood to type.
I'm off to find out how much contact they have with people coming back from Africa, and exactly where and which Congo they are from.
Ebola killed some folks

you stole my line rotflmao
You were 17 minutes late. Every thread should start with "If you like your ___ " by now.

It's the land where our Chocolat comes from.
so...
Imangine...
what Ebola will do to our Chocolat supply lines...
horor...
Don't worry, we have an ample supply of Chocolate in Ferguson.
How many would like shipped?
Pure evil, dawg.

Bullish cocoa futures!
Now you've got my attention. Ebola who?
The local news has someone in isolation here...Albuquerque...recently back from Africa and showing symptoms.
Please keep us informed about Albuquerque's possible Ebola patient.
Yup, saw that. They're saying that they think it's not ebola, but they're being extra cautious. *shruggs*
There will be no confirmed cases. We will die of Ebola-like symptoms. I'm so relieved.
It's, like so weird how it skips over some counties huh.../s
It might be if people were migrating exclusively by foot?
nononononono, look at france for tchernobyl 86'...... radioactive clouds stopped at borders, it never come over french lands...
well known joke in france... assume it is same way, no visa, so ebola just turn back to find another way...
They'll be sending an Ebolatarian aid team to the border to help them out. Poor things are tired after walking all that way.
Just because some countries are not reporting Ebola, doesn't mean it's not there. These countries are extremely backward.
It is going to travel between key nodes (cities) first and foremost and then migrate slowly outward to less densely populated areas. The fastest vector to spread disease will be by aircraft, most likely on merchants and businessmen, or refugees fleeing the epidemic.
So no.. it isn't weird at all. Lagos is a massive city in terms of population. I don't see it as weird that it skipped over a few nations. In the same way I don't see it as weird that it has jumped oceans either.
This was my point exactly.... does /s not translate?
Of course it is hopping from point to point.... you can see it plainly on this map... It is only a matter of time before they have to use a world map.....
Ah. My bad for misconstruing your point. +1 for you sir.
Thx, I had put the /s thinking I might get bludgeoned otherwise...... But to get wacked with it??? What am I in Ferguson???
Hands up! Brother! You've been Ferggied!

it would be fucking surprisin Benin report any case since when you go to main public hospital when you have any serious problem, you see doctor with plastic gloves covered of sludge because on the surgery table you have a reversed motorcycle totally disassembled with parts all over the place, tools on surge chariot & motor bloc on the ground.
meantime you have pregos birthing on the corridor.
i strongly think they cannot detect any fucking thing.
benin is mostly the worst country in all sub-saharian region.
Parlez vous un petite peu anglais?
Just fucking with ya!
Just because a backward country doesn't report accurately doesn't imply first world will. If this virus ever gets traction here and I do hope it will probably burn out due to its nature historically, do you think the CDC will give daily diagnosed cases/deaths? Shear pandemonium would result.
Every flu season we get confirmed case numbers in our community regularly to monitor population rates and to know how many diagnostic kits to order. I don't expect this would be done with Ebola. They know they couldn't stop the leak of info coming from us on the front lines.
Miffed;-)
I had by first "General Public" customer ask me yesterday, "will this ever reach Australia, and what would happen if it did?" My answer was "I sincerely hope not", and "we do have quarantine strategies" - with visions of today's radio news of the "quarantine" in Liberia - barbed wire perimeter fence with army enforcement, around a slum of 50,000.
Now that "it" is an established MSM news item, I wonder just how many crazies might have "had ideas" (you know, those with an axe to grind against elements of society), or worse still, the terminally ill with an axe to grind against us all - "if I'm going to die, I'll take the rest of those b******s with me". Trip to Africa, become deliberately infected, return home as a "walking bio-weapon"?
Acc. to google, seems I'm a long way behind in such thinking - https://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=&oq=&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4WQIB_enAU528AU528&q=ebola+martyrs+as+a+terrorist+weapon&gs_l=hp..0.41l109.0.0.0.2672...........0.
Hopefully the "3000 martyrs" is hearsay. If this is real, we've ALL got problems, not just the USA.
Might get some serious attention if it "settled" in right in the heart of tel aviv!
They send all of their Africans to Sweden.
Why not, haven't you ever seen black Eskimos?
http://www.amren.com/news/2014/01/sweden-accepts-dozens-of-eritrean-asyl...
Black eskimo's? Yeah, I've heard that joke...'a snowblower that dont work'
I love the ZH comment section. Always learning. Not about black eskimos, though...
"Israel has started shipping African “refugees” out of the Jewish state and dumping them in Sweden—saying that Israel “cannot afford to absorb tens of thousands of Africans because it will affect the Jewish nature of the state.”
Of course, they don’t say—or care—what it will do to the “Swedish nature of the Swedish state.”"
I stopped going to my gym recently because of the ebola. Just sayin'
even worse, swedish government dont even care what it will do swedens nature of the swedish islamic state.
Taking a stance is no option, there are still too many tards around, you´ll qualify as a paranoid mongoloid.
It will be everyone for themselfs. I got ze guns and ze boat.. will float away when ze shit hits ze fan.
Sailboat?
That would be my first choice if things got bad close to home.
Lots of sailboats for sale, at good prices.
Lots of unattended sailboats, actually
Of course Israel cares about changing the Swedish nature of the Swedish state- that's why they chose to ship them to Sweden. And if Sweden refuses them, that's racist. If Sweden tries to send them back to Israel, that's anti-Semitic.
Might as well, the place was vacant, as all the Swedes were off in Ukraine shooting Slavs.
"weird how it skips over"
Its spread by fruit bats. For them its like a common cold.
Ebola in "Democratic Republic of the Congo"?
Paris is fucked then, as it's the 2nd major DRC town after Kinshasa... If you live in the 18th 19th or 20th arrondissement say your prayers. Ebola will be there before X-mas...
Beglium used to own Congo...
the good old days...
If you miss the good old days, read "King Leopold's Ghost".
AAaahhh.... Grandpa used to read from that book as bedside stories...
memories...
Remember, back in the days, almost everybody had family in Congo who where cultivating the Congolese people and teaching them civilisation.
Sure, some people focused on the bad stuff but mostly, it was the only golden age for Congo it ever had and most would like to return to that time.
SD, you know you aren't allowed to express the opinion that Africa was better off under colonialism, right?
Bad boy! Some things should (apparently) never be uttered, or see the light of day.
I saw Buchanan once---From the rail of a Morremack ship heading to Matadi----It was a nice place before the crazies came--( pre 1956 I think) then it was a ghost town--
It was the pilot town for ship river pilots running from the coast inland on the Congo--Ship captians wouldn't dare to navigate the Congo with out a Buchcanan river pilot.
Interesting history -- I'm not sure that you can even find out about it any more with the PC cleansing of African history. Anyway a band of natives ( the Mou Mou I believe) came through the town and looted and raped and killed most all the people there-- People I talked to that knew about it said the natives took the bank and ran through the streets with hands full of paper money saying they were rich were rich the ships will make us rich----
What happend was there was a pilot who was taken prisoner -- The ships woouldn't move with out the pilot so the Mou Mou had to pay the pilot a kings ransom to take the ships up the river. The Mou Mou had a bad end I believe--
When I was there the Cubans were everywhere with gun boats and would follow the ships in and out ---
Thanks for the recommendation.
Can't wait until Ebola goes to the Haj....
Yeah, that will be something alright...Imagine praying in a mosque with the guy in front of you blowing toxic shit out his ass! Good thing everybody wears a gown..
It could get out of hand at a los Angeles yoga venue I imagine though...spandex will be squeezing that shit out like an apocolyptic playdough fun factory!
lol… you baboons… so after what… 6,000 odd years you think you've found something that will stop the trek to where (according to scriptures) Abraham ventured with his son?
This just furthers my point; ZH needs some admissions criteria to weed out low-enders scum. I'm not sure what, but obviously something is needed or this comment board will continue its descent into the morass. It ain't your grandpas ZH that's for sure...
Wouldn't you also be filtered out for believing in imaginary friends written in "scriptures"?
... such as Abraham? Word of mouth traditions passed on through the generations of Hebrews gives me comfort that "somebody" such as him - regardless of the name - existed. People had to follow somebody. Moses probably too. Jesus... the rest too.
It's a safe bet. In any case, I never called him a friend. But if that got me barred from ZH I would gladly accept if they also had stringent criteria for lesser apes that have permeated and now pervade our once lofty ranks.
we played the word-of-mouth game in grade 2...it started as: "Lad can run quite fast" and ended up being "Dead aliens smell really bad in Nevada dumpsters"
..very trustworthy
You remember that shit from 11 years ago? I'm impressed. It probably devolved into it's final rendition by the third or fourth lil' kid...
Based on this, I need to rethink my belief in George Washington and Thomas Jefferson too. What about Harry Truman... ? Geez, who DID exist.
It was more like 30 years ago and I made up the ending just now, but the real one was equally rediculous. If I had not told you any differently then history would have been written and passed on incorrectly after just one person.
If you "made up" that ending, and are not reporting what is accurate and true, then what does that testify to the credibility and veracity of ANY INFORMATION reported in any of your other posts?
Do you know the definition of IMPEACHMENT?
People can post fiction if they so shall choose...like you. In fact according to Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil", you have just acted out by employing your "Moral Relativism". It is just because you are a member of the Animal Kingdom.
There are much better methods of getting a point across...like reporting that which is true...especially if it is anecdotal???
You can actually use easily verifiable and reliable sources on the internet.
But you lack both vision and IMAGination (Image being the root of IMAGINATION). Your intellectual laziness and dishonesty actually stifles your path.
That is your choice and you are most free to choose it.
See here's the thing. I can't get ONE up arrow. Y'all don't like dumb niggas. But apparently y'all don't like smart niggas either. What kind do you like?
Methinks you shoulda thought a bit ahead before you spent the better part of 400 years importing all them Africans in the bowels of slave ships... you think? It's a bit of a commentary on your supposed superiority and loftiness isn't it? The follow-up with the Mexican Adventures kind of indicates that you never learn.
Oh, well, I'll leave it all to y'all. If it makes you feel any better, I LONG since bounced from that mess y'all got back there. Have at it. You know where they all are (Ferguson, Harlem, Chicago...). Go handle yo' bidness...
Back then, it was a global market with unregulated free trade so to speak...call it 'negronafta' and blame the Dutch...aint our fault they sailed west instead of east...had they sailed east, the chinks woulda had a new menu item is all..
Back in the day, your options were:
1) Rent an indentured servant (Christian, white, European, but usually from the peasant class), for 3-6 years.
or, for the same cost:
2) Buy an African slave. For life.
or, for less:
3) Buy an Indian slave. For a couple weeks, until he disappears into the forest/hills.
ISIS ebola. The fanatical gift that'll take your head right off.
Beware the unexpected box from the Islam " freedom fighter". Those soaked clothes & sheets from Africa can't be screened at border.
Thats such bad bad taste clade7, but it did make me spurt half a mouth full of beer over the keyboard, lol, now I have sticky fingers, and not the good kind either.
Yeah? I'm liking the cut of your jib too there mate! Pissing myself bloody stupid from some of your posts! And not in a gay way either...heading out for more beer to try to keep up, and of course to keep my PH balanced just in case!
I liked 'apocalyptic playdough fun factory' as well, but will spare the, um, whatever it was, the keyboard spew.
And, you better get a lot of beer, 'cos your blood pH needs to be over 9.1, haha. That'll be a special challenge, since beer lowers your pH.
At least he will have fun trying???
seems incredibly dangerous to me,
Ahhh the Congo.......... there's a well run operation. Yikes!
Fuck, I live in Sacramento.....
I will be driving to Sac - actually Folsom - Friday & Saturday for a veterans outreach event and share your concern. Worse yet, was my neighbor announcing she was on her way to Africa for three months ... that was about a month ago.
Well, give her a good long cocking before she leaves, and get a set of keys to her house...a win win there buddy...finally some good news!
Ebola scare everywhere.
Laetrile cures Ebola by strengthening the immune system.
Laetrile is Vitamin B17.
Apricott seeds.
Shhh, don't tell the you know who, we can't have that good stuff here in the states.
Bitter Almond Plants can be smuggled in from Australia.
Rockefeller's greenhouse in NY has an ample supply?
Oi!, keep your hands of our Bitter Almond Plants, we will need all we can get evidently when Ebola gets here.
For some reason, FDA Nazis banned the bitter Almond plant from the U.S.
Go figure!
Protect the seeds before Monsanto screws with them.
Or you can just eat some cyanide for the same effect.
Of course cyanide is hard to get, too. If you try to buy it they'l think you're running a meth lab or something.
Just say you are a nerd for Pharaohs Serpent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN9pioJWTk0
The fun starts 1:19 in.
Mother Nature impresses me all the time.
Amazing how the Cyanide in Laetrile (B17) will only target cancer cells, and other pathogens.
Ebola is a pathogen, yes?
Must be careful not to take too much, though, as it is toxic itself.
Would you rather have chemo/radiation voo-doo treatments or would you rather take what old Rockefeller is taking up in the ivory tower, simple bitter almonds and apricott seeds (Laetrile, B17)???
Don't be afraid to tell the little pigs in their white coats to go to hell with their radiation and vaccines.
I wonder if they are pigs because of the radiation and vaccines?....just musing
How about garlic, Knoblauch?
Garlic only works on the Kissinger virus.
I heard forsythia works too.
I heard 10 grams of Vitamin C every day works fine.
Just get that pH level up.
Why are pH testing strips so damn expensive?
I get my immune system to do 50 pushups every morning while I'm in bed to keep it nice and strong, because you just can't be too careful.
Damn! Now thats some funy shit there!
When does the looting start?
Banksters never stopped.
When America has it's first confirmed case, I suggest you fill up every empty space you have with food, drink, fuel, meds, seeds and supplies. If nothing happens, you have a year or two of extra food. If something bad happens, you're prepared for it.
"Death" like symptoms. Ouch. BofA black building of death in San Francisco harbors Ebola?
Have they weaponised it in Atlanta yet?
Toady, in reality, if they wanted us dead, we'd be dead already.
Bitter Almonds & Apricott seeds cures Ebola.
Get your pH level up to 9.5 and you will not get it.
Save yourselves.
FDA Nazis can go fuck themselves.
You need to dump your tinfoil hat or add a sarc tag, because you are giving nut job conspiracy theorists a bad name. A .45acp impacting the cranium at over 900ft/s will also cure ebola.
A blood ph of 9.5 is going to cause a fatal case of alkalosis.
Retards and snake oil salesmen can go fuck themselves or hang out at Yahoo!...
Take your shots.
Then you have my permission to die.
Dr. Otto Warburg was no snakeoil salesman.
He actually earned his Nobel Prize, unlike the fool on the hill in D.C.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3589765/
Dr. Warburg must have hit hard hard times and turned snakeoil sales, or you're not correctly understanding what he wrote. I don't really care which one of you is the source of the shit, but it is about as as sound a methodology as the Treasury printing its way prosperity to cure the US's financial ills... and your half baked appeal to authority doesn't cut it.
Ebola is quite easy to cure, just raise your core body temperature to 140F for an hour... your brain function (and a lot of other things) will cease, but the ebola virus will be dead.
I think 105F for 15 minutes each day would suffice.
Make sure you have plenty of water available.
Non-Fluoridated, of course.
You can easily create those conditions in a parked car baking in the hot sun.
No need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Or, join a gym and cook in the sauna.
I wonder what the ancient Greeks and Romans did to fight disease?
They must have done something right.
We're here, yes?
Nope, they've proven 105F won't kill the virus.
Like I said - 140F...
(If a 105F fever could break the virus, then people would test negative after running extremely high fevers in ebola wards, which they don't.)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6490832
You don't have much of an imagination.
This tells me that you're a drone of some type that follows orders without question.
So, I will try to expand your horizons.
Try combining treatments.
Oh my God, is that even possible?
Yes Sherlock, it is.
Can you chew bubble gum and walk at the same time?
Highly speculative at best.
You don't have an IQ within 4 standard deviations of high enough to expand my horizons.
Combining treatments sounds nice, but that is not what you been have peddling here... or do I need to rub your stupid face in your own shit quotes?
Moreover, if you actually wanted to combine treatments and have any hope of killing the disease without killing the host, it would be wise to combine treatments that are not likely to kill the host even faster than the ebola will.
Again, if you want to fix the US debt and spending problem confiscating pensions and raising the nominal tax rate to 90% while raising barriers to providing jobs is not a combination likely to result in success.
Your solution to Ebola, and other pathogens, is a Morphine drip, induced comma, starvation, dehydration, and death.
I hope you get a chance to experience the best care money can afford.
;)
You should have also changed the first period to a question mark.
I have never recommended morphine or induced coma for anything here, in the case of ebola (on ZH) I have stressed the criticality of hydration, and given that I've suggested cayenne pepper as an alternative to quick clot for gunshot wounds- minimizing patient pain probably isn't high on my list of priorities...
Money (above a certain minimum which not often enough available in Africa) has ZERO to do with the quality of care. The person who taught me perhaps 60% of what I know about alternative medicine (as opposed to emergency medicine, biology or chemistry) is responsible for one of the other dozen or so cases of this over the past half century. The elderly patient had the same number of lungs as the current Pope has when initially diagnosed, and yet the medical establishment was later forced to plead Complete Spontaneous Regression in Advanced NSCLC. Total cost of cure $0.00. Neither I nor anyone else can prove causality between the treatment and end of the condition, but by the same token- no could advance an argument that the treatment would do any harm to the patient, much less that it would do more harm than good.
There is science (or at least theories based on science) underlying most non-establishment-sanctioned medical practices. What there isn't are viable cures that actually violate science... even Avagadro's number doesn't rule out the efficacy of homeopathic dilutions, but it certainly renders the original underlying theory incorrect or incomplete.
Killing a person in a misguided pursuit to promote alternative medicine is the antithesis of practicing medicine.
You may want to use that .45 when the blood starts dripping from your eyes.
B17. Got to catch this stuff very early for B17 to have a good chance at beating the awaiting damage.
People with a pH between 4 and 5 are vulnerable to disease.
Your body has the power to heal itself.
But only if you feed it the right fuel.
Research Dr. Otto Warburg's work on cellular metabolism.
Keeping your cells Oxygenated is the key to life.
What? like beer? Done and done!
Radiation works quite well as well I hear, nobody who has ever died of radiation poisoning has ever had Ebola!....thats a fact.
I think I heard Ann Coulter say that?
yeah, I don't like to think for myself, it hurts my brain....O MY GOD, may be I have Ebola!
Almonds and Apricot seeds you say, well I guess at least you would be getting something nice to eat as you cough up your internal organs.
You'll probably die of starvation and dehydration during your Morphine induced comma.
mmmmm, morphine.
drip, drip, drip ............
'Bitter Almonds & Apricott seeds' I missed that double blind study in The Voodo medical journal.
1.2 million die from malaria every year.
If only mossies spread Ebola
over estimated, ppl getting malaria do no really die coz of this, its a lil like AIDS... aids let other stuff kill you coz aids only kill self defense system. ppl hit by malaria die coz at the moment they are hit by illness, they are weak, no food, no water, stomack full of jerkz worms moving, prolly many of them got AIDS too. malaria kill kids more than adults.
you develop lil resistence over years in africa with moskitos. 1st year it is a 1st week 50 impact/leg-arm that makes you go down with +4° celcius heat , feels like crazy broken thermostat. white face, puking, liquid poo, serious feeling. feel total frozen under the sun totally winter weared, +6 hours later you naked in front a 16°C just out of cold water feeling you are burning like in an oven.
over months, crisis go more n more short in time, less n less effect. the small part of time it is a lil fresh feeling & lil heat sensation cycles, constant lil sweating, until you go whole years whitout anything.
then after couple of years, when you get one, you say to yourself " wow, that bastard moskito was full like a barrel " and you are down for 12h, maybe 24 depending of physical condition.
as i said, you don't die by yourself from malaria, there is no vaccin, you acclimatize by yourself over time. when it hits you & makes you down, death happen because of usual bad body shape/condition/nutrition.
africa is known to not be the perfect nutrition reference in the world. especialy where malaria deaths is listed ( starvation countries )
Ebola is like Ferguson, ignore it and it will go away.
Of course it will. In six months time we'll be asking whatever happened to that virus thing they were all talking about. I've heard this end-of-the-world scenario so many times that it just washes over me.
Little chance ebola will spread to the caliphate of iS. It's a no-fly zone, mind you.
Questions:
-How comes that it still spreads?
-How comes that it travels across borders, while the WHO claims to be in charge?
-How comes they first say: No danger and then shoot people crossing borders?
-How comes these people are still in charge, after obviously screwing up big, the first time? Did we not learn anything from the 2008 banking crisis - or has it become fashion to put people in charge who repeatedly fail?
Yes, give them a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance and when Africa is finally depopulated they will claim it a great success of disease control, right?
While the world awaits the test results from an Ebola suspect in Sacramento to learn if Ebola has now officially entered the US
...
That honor goes to those compassionate public servants over at the CDC.
http://www.naturalnews.com/046290_Ebola_patent_vaccines_profit_motive.html#
I'm sure the CDC was serving we the people by bringing infected doctors back into the US and not themselves by using said patients as guise to harvest samples of the current Ebola strain so they can patent it like they have with other Ebola strains the general good of the public first and not for personal profit which would be in the millions/billions in royalites if a pandemic is allowed to spread globally through royalites on any treatments, vaccines, experiments, tests, etc. I'm sure this was about compassion for their fellow man and not front running the pharmaceuticals to ensure they get their cut of the pie. We see how compassionate that they are since can't seem to help anyone else after they imported these 2 into their labs with them experimental treatments.
Our goverment and institutions public servents serves through as an extension of we the people not serves for the institutions.
Ah.....the Congo. I've been there once and can tell what will happen. The dedicated and super-efficient local officials will impose a rigorously applied quarantine to the affected area. No bribe will be large enough to get out. National pride will preclude them from asking for external help, which, if it does come, will immediately be directed to those most in need. Under no circumstances will anyone try to make money out of it.
Thats a relief, I was getting worried for a moment there, but all under control, thank God there is still somewhere in the world where officials can not be bribed.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
That is one of the differences between serving through and serving for when it involves institutions. The end of the day it is not the institutions, inanimate objects that are the problem. It is always people, they are the problem, they are also the solution. It is how they use the tools is all that determines things. The power of institutions always derive from people since without people they don't exist.
You don't bring fire to water risking burning everything along the way when you can bring the water to the fire.
It's reasonable to assume that diseases such as Ebola have always existed. It's only when one of "us" contracts one of these diseases, does the MSM start to report about the spread of such diseases.
While "they" have been contracting these diseases for years, centuries, if not for millenia.
Calls to quarantine Africa can't be far off. Good luck with that. Imperialist adventures of the 19th century paid for in the 21st century.
I don't know, Marburg, HIV/AIDS, and Ebola all have a VERY VERY sketchy background. All appearing within what, 10 years of each other?
And HIV and Ebola have a similar transmission mechanism, whereas Marburg and Ebola have IDENTICAL morphology! How does one create a virus any way? Or do you just take an existing virus, and subject it to short, sharp radiation doses?
I need to visit Tulane University, I guess.
I don't have a handy link but I seem to recall that some microbiologists re-created the sequence of Polio, from a published genome, a few years back and found that it caused polio in mice.
Things like Marburg and Ebola live in the tropics where Mother Nature (or Darwin if you like) perform the selection experiemnts on them. They have almost certainly existed for thousands of years. There is plenty of natural radiation to drive the process.And trillions of simultaneous experiments going on in every victim.
Every once in a while, a really good set of mutations allows a bug to break out, like we are seeing now. Nature is way way better at making populaiton-crashing pandemic germs than scientists are.
what do we know? maybe Ebola existed in Europe as well but with better sanitation standards and a bible that told people what to eat or what not to eat, the disease didn't gain a foothold.
why do Africans eat fruitbats or primates? why are they still shitting in dirt and have no sanitary standards but keep having kids like there's no tomorrow?
can their behaviours ever be changed without a drastic reset and starting from scratch? I don't know.
