Ebola Pandemic Hits Germany, Turkey, And Australia As Infected Spanish Nurse Went Un-Quarantined For A Week
Despite the still confident exclamations from officials that the Ebola pandemic is 'contained', more and more nations are admitting to Ebola-symptomatic cases or bringing infected patients back from Africa for treatment. Australia has its first potential case of the deadly disease, as Bloomberg reports a nurse who returned from volunteering in Africa has developed Ebola-like symptoms. Despite claims that Nigeria's outbreak is over, a Turkish worker there has been hospitalized in Istanbul after signs of high fever and diarrhea. Health officials from Germany confirm a 3rd Ebola patient has arrived in the country - having contracted the disease in Liberia. And finally, just as in the sad case of Thomas Duncan in Dallas, The Guardian reports the infected Spanish nurse went untreated and unquarantined for a week despite reporting symptoms at least three times to hospital officials. It seems the world is ill-prepared for this...
Bloomberg reports, a nurse who treated Ebola patients with the Red Cross in Sierra Leone was hospitalized in Australia after developing a low-grade fever, health officials said. She is being tested for the deadly virus.
The 57-year-old volunteer recently returned to Cairns, in the northeastern state of Queensland, where she has been isolating herself and checking her temperature twice daily, Jeannette Young, the state’s chief health officer, said in an e-mailed statement. Today, she reported a temperature of 37.6 degrees Celsius (99.7 degrees Fahrenheit). Results of tests for Ebola and other possible infections are expected early tomorrow.
The nurse hospitalized in Cairns was identified as Sue-Ellen Kovack by the Australian newspaper. Kovack returned home two days ago, the newspaper reported.
A Turkish worker employed in Nigeria was rushed to an Istanbul hospital Oct. 8 on suspicion of Ebola, according to Hurriyet Daily, after showing signs of a high fever and diarrhea.
The 46-year-old man, whose identity has not been disclosed, returned to Turkey 10 days ago from Africa to see his family in the western province of Sakarya during the Feast of the Sacrifice holiday.
The incident is the second case of a suspected Ebola patient in Turkey, after a Nigerian woman who transited through Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport while traveling from Lagos to Barcelona was rushed to hospital in mid-August.
Health officials from the German state of Saxony confirmed on Thursday that an Ebola patient had arrived in the country, according to DW,
The man, who originates from Sudan, contracted the virus in Liberia, they said, adding that he had been transported from the airport to the St. Georg Clinic in the city of Leipzig, which is located roughly 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Berlin.
St. Georg's Clinic is one of seven health facilities in Germany with the capability to treating highly infectious patients in isolation.
Two other Ebola patients have also been flown to the Central European country in recent weeks. A World Health Organization (WHO) employee had fallen ill with the hemorrhagic fever in Sierre Leone was brought to Hamburg, where doctors were able to stabilize him and eventually release him last week.
And finally, with regard the infected Spanish nurse in Madrid (as The Guardian explains), had told health authorities at least three times that she had a fever before she was placed in quarantine.
Her first contact with health authorities was on 30 September when she complained of a slight fever and fatigue. Romero Ramos called a specialised service dedicated to occupational risk at the Carlos III hospital where she worked and had treated an Ebola patient, said Antonio Alemany from the regional government of Madrid. But as the nurse’s fever had not reached 38.6C, she was advised to visit her local clinic where she was reportedly prescribed paracetamol.
Days later, according to El País newspaper, Romero Ramos called the hospital again to complain about her fever. No action was taken.
On Monday, she called the Carlos III hospital again, this time saying she felt terrible. Rather than transport her to the hospital that had treated the two missionaries who had been repatriated with Ebola, Romero Ramos was instructed to call emergency services and head to the hospital closest to her home. She was transported to the Alcorcón hospital by paramedics who were not wearing protective gear, El País reported.
On arrival at the hospital, Romero Ramos warned staff that she feared she had contracted Ebola. Despite the warning, she remained in a bed in the emergency room while she waited for her test results. She was separated from other patients only by curtains, hospital staff said on Tuesday.

nice....she went all across the world but was diverted as far away from Israel....
Umm....stop all flights from hot zones?
Somebody needs to draw a huge red line here...
Tyler, let's blow the lid off this thing! Please make a thread about the CDC leasing a large plot of land in Madison GA where they have stored hundreds of thousands of four- corpse coffins since 2008. Then, in 2009, they patented the ebola virus. What a coinkidink!!!!!!?!
That's silly, silly. This is actually called 6th disease, you can't name a disease until there is a cure for it. But, in the name of national security, one was created, they called it E B ready or not O city of Lost Angles. Creative name for a creative bug, to throw off the silly masses. And it worked, again, silly.
TeamDepends, posted last night at 22:22 EST, ZH post about the coffins...gave me the chills.

WHAT
THE
FUCK?
Seriously. When somebody says "You know, I've had contact with a symptomatic ebola patient, and I'm showing symptoms consistant with the disease," you should fucking do something about it. Fucking retards.
Just heard Melinda Gates is donating $50 million to fight Ebola.
Isn't this global pandemic just what they were hoping for?
PLEASE!
BUG OUT!
Like I have been saying for weeks and being JUNKED to da moon about this.....this ebola thing has created a perception that you dont want to be near people of dark complexion....i have nothing against blacks but this is reality
Look at the below cases, EBOLA, FERGUSON, RAY RICE, ADRIAN PETERSON, WEALTHY JEWISH NBA OWNERS MAKING BLACK RACIST COMMENTS.....portray black people like they are the plague...(I dont support this view btw)
Race baiting much?
All it will take will be a few clusters of ebola to go unidentified for a couple weeks and this bitch will go exponential...
Got nuthin against the black people at all....but thats what is happening...
but if you want to talk about some other chosen race , well thats another story all together
The really unpleasant part is that you have that week-ish delay before you know about it.

Listen Keyser.
His opinion has value to me, as does yours.
Leave him be and lets discuss, not police and regulate all words.
Peace from India.
Serious question, you don't have a woven gold shirt do you?
:)
pods
its really quite simple...
bug out or or get on the FEMA bus...
PLEASE...BUG OUT!
Listen Capt.
It may not be a bad idea for "ALL" Zero's to stock up a little on non-perishables in their pantry.
Please remember that if SHTF with this one you may even see the power grid go down as "NO" one will want to go to work to maintain power stations, transformers, or transmission lines.
It would be smart to start planning now.
start planning now...
i was building my ark before it started raining...
Me too.
I am noticing though that the recent drizzle seems to be starting to pick-up bit along with the sounds of thunder in the distance.
and beginning to look like the end of, "o' brother where art thou"....
"I'm coming by your place."
"Warning shots waste ammo... So..."
Exactly.... I've been piddling around for far too long.... I'm buying a 15 panel set up this week with a rolls battery bank.
I've been stocking food stuffs for a while... I'm a gun bug so, I hand load and, I won't talk about what I've put up on that end of things..... I live in the country so, I need lights at night.... so, I've got some hand tweaked led flashlights... one will light you up at over 700 yards like it's daytime.... the ANSI throw on that light is like a mile.... but, you can seriously use it out to about 700yds... and have a maxabeam that goes much further.... Now, I have to be able to run freezers with the power off, charge batteries for lights.... I have a generator but, what if you run out of fuel? I'm pretty happy about my decision to move to the country 3yrs ago at this point.... I have gates and fences... and 7mi to the grocery store... but, that also makes you far from help...
so you arm yourself... a lot.
I'm bugging in.. not out.... For those that decide to bug out.... don't come down my street, Bro.... it's not safe for you.
maxabeam at 900yds

Listen.
Sounds great. One thing. As these things unfold most people will be doing things that they usually do not do solo.
Make sure you have a small first-aid kit. Ask yourself: "Do I really want to risk going to the hospital to get these 10 stitches"?
Start thinking this way. I want to see all the Zero's on the other side. We'll meet at the "GUIDE STONES" and roast some marsh-mellows.
Good night from Bangalore.
Have a medical kit...Even an O2 trauma kit.. plus, I've been a first responder with EMT training that volunteers for the local fire dept... so, I know where the trucks are and extra med supplies, etc... You're right about the medical stuff... without simple anti-biotics, a tooth problem could kill you. Not sure how much I'll be responding soon... It's not working out for the Frisco police officer.
Meh, there's only so much you can do... I've done more than most have.... I have good friends and neighbors... I'll need the extra help... I'll have freezers, lights, med training, lots of bullets and electricity.... I'll be a target but, I'll have lots of help.... I'm thinking that I live at the Alamo and, once that's lost, all is lost.
I know some folks that want this kind of crap to happen... I'm the opposite... I'm terrified of it.... I don't see a harem of women that want stuff from me.... I see desperation and people that you'd have to turn away... starvation... sickness.... and death... Wheeeee..... Let's roast marshmellows.... No, no... we throw the bodies on that fire... not this one.
I'd never say these things to people I know... you guys don't know my real name but, the threats to our lives are real... It's hard to imagine for us but, WWI and WWII happened... starvation, millions murdered.... lined up in ditches and shot, or gassed... or just killed by carpet bombing.... Can people here imagine a war where 40yr old men were drafted? That was WWII...... give up 20,000 men for an island that is just volcanic ash.... what would it look like if 20,000 dead were on your street? My uncle and my father fought in WWII... my grandfather fought in WWI.... Dad would never talk about it but, before my uncle died... he did.... He said ( and he was 87 when he died )... that he can still not get the stench of dead bodies out of his nose.... as he started tearing up.... You didn't do a, "tour" back then.... they used you until you were used up or the war was over.... My mom told me about how they were drafting 40yr old men... and worried about fighting in our own land... for our country and for ourselves.
My uncle wanted me to have his.... "coin collection".... he owned a white's auto store in rural texas for 30yrs.... being a man as he was... he said... they're not going to make siver money anymore... I'll just take it from the register and roll it up.... I didn't think anything when he told me that but, It turned out to be over a hundred pounds of 90% coins... He saw that money was changing and that was in the 60s.... Hell, he never had any credit score... he never borrowed from anyone... He even asked a neighbor when he got older to set his satellite up for him and he'd pay for it because they wouldn't turn it on without a credit score... He was an amazing man... I miss him.
We've been spoiled children... living in a wonderland.... things are changing.... and what I hope for more than anything else is that I'm just crazy and OCD and worried too much and mis-handling my money.
Guys like my uncle don't exist anymore.... He never borrowed... He set up his own business and, everyone knew him and loved him... He fought in a just war... He had scars but wouldn't talk about them... When he got sick and I came to be with him at the end... he opend his door and, he had a bible and a colt sitting on top of it... sitting next to his chair..... He hunted, fished and spent most of his life outdoors and left this place in a graceful way... he didn't complain and wouldn't even admit that it hurt....
Now, if you guys think I'm nuts... I'm ok with that... It may be reassuring.
only a sane man questions his own sanity.
Yeah, breakdown in society due to disease is scary stuff. Reminds me of the end of Titanic when all those people are swimming in the freezing water. Societal breakdown would be like that only on a massive scale. Not pretty. If you can make it through the first 6 months, things will calm down after that.
I'm more concerned about the panic than the Ebola.
Purse money for her. Most likely to divert attention from possibly infecting the Africans with her vaccine program.
That's quite a list. A Vince Foster-type list, eh? Only the last few year's worth of banker deaths rivals it, no?
You have to go to Chicago to get a better list.
My son walked on top of those near Madison a few years back - but they've been moved. I was in sales and Vantage Products was a customer of mine - sold them carbon black color concentrate years ago. There's a lot of scary stuff on the web about UN Agenda 21, FEMA coffins, and the like. It can freak you out if you let it. I believe we should all be ready to defend and care for ourselves in any emergency, or in any monetary or government collapse. Everyone should have 'prepped' at least minimally and as the boy scouts say, "Be Prepared" - a very practical motto.
Don't worry the central bank is in complete control. Ebola is not reported from now on. You lost a friend? the central bank will purge their records from the records. Everything is fine, settle down. Fear = bullish. Buy some stock and relax.
Does anyone here remember the original FEMA coffin stories and people saying, "Perhaps the reason for the excessive borrowing and unlimited money printing is that some people have realized there really is no tomorrow"?
Us lowly tinfoil hatters knew about the fema mega coffins 5 years ago.
For the conspiratorial types out there - if there are only 160k coffins stockpiled for a managed Ebola outbreak, doesnt' that imply that TPTB anticipate far less than 1 million dead? (4/coffin = 640k)
If we get to over 100k Ebola infections in this country - there's no way it'll stop there.
I call bullshit on this one.
Time will tell.
IMF and the Fed aren't the only government agencies that suck ass at forecasting!!!

Flights from West Africa should have been stopped weeks ago. This outbreak is no accident, is being done for an evil, purposeful reason.
The vast majority of Western countries have both the facilities as well as the personnel to prevent any serious outbreak, so this persistent fear-mongering is becoming a bit distasteful. It are the countries in West Africa that I am very concerned about instead. Decades of civil war and poverty have left many of them with weakened central governments and healthcare systems, and they are wholly unprepared to deal with a crisis like this.
Open your fucking eyes friendo. The Western authorities are being willfully clueless in treating this.
Take a page from the Israelis, nobody comes in. Anything less is willful risk taking.
+1 for the use of friendo
Know your enemy
AD
the west is not prepared and can't do shit about it once it's loose within our borders. there is no current doses of ZMAPP left, it takes 30 days to produce small quantities. the only treatment is blood serum from those who survived, as long as their antigen levels are still high. i'm not a doctor but i watched NOVA last night about it. :-p
we got a few blood factory o-types already , hence the flights back, just need to increase production.
Closed borders, or "Fortress Europe / America" isn't something I will take a page from. I'm well aware this is difficult to grasp for Zero Hedge's borderline far-right audience.
I have my doubts that you are "well aware" of anything.
Your country's culture of suspicion of, and hostility for, educated people never ceases to amaze me. It's hardly a surprise America is the only industrialized nation in the world which has nurtured such abberations as creationism.
Educated people usually spell it aberrations. Tool bag.
I agree wholeheartedly that Africa in general has horrible infrastructure. However, the only thing exceptional about the US medical system is it's cost. We may be able to treat the first 1000 people if we spread them out nationally, but thats about it. Beyond that you are talking tent clinics and home isolation - just like Africa. If this ever blows up you can bet your ass that a good chunk of medical staff (who have more wealth then their counterparts on the dark continent) will be flying themselves and families as far away as possible.
Treating is not containment. Just look at the recent respiratory infection spreading like wildfire amongst children.
Listen One.
Americans can just sit at home, watch the soaps and call for a check from the disability office.
Easy. American style.
Agreed. There is nothing to see here. This crisis is being used for yet more power grabs and it seems that a potent fear formula has been found to get even ZHers to endorse plans to restrict freedoms.
What plans to restrict freedoms has ebola spawned? Many ZH'ers would like to see some plans to restrict the freedom to spread this disease by stopping flights from ground zero (not to be confused with the white house) but none seem to be forthcoming.
I don't think most ZH'ers want that. I think that many motivated responders to these ebola threads posting these comments laced with fear do not represent this blog (silent majority argument).
Your comment itself is a trade of liberty for security. Take a deep breath and count to ten. This is another swine flu, avian flu, disease pandemic flavor of the year. It too will be forgotten about in a year when the next one comes along and people (or anonymous blog posters to be specific) clamor for help from the government.
Point taken but I said many not most. I certainly hope you are right about the ebola threat just being imaginary.
Erik i am sorry but with all due respect you grossly overr-estimate the "civility" of western countries. Once nurses and doctors start getting sick, like the nurse in Madrid, our hospitals will fare no better than the ones in West Africa. Hospital staff will not report to work especially when they observe that some of them are getting sick nothwitstanding the hazmat suits.

OK - I have been posting on zh reeferences to this movie - I finally watcthed the fulll movie, free - maybe they infectecd my computer but it is better than I rembered, given the time lag. Use Netflix if you ;must, but watch.
Great cast and a Holywood Stiory with a happy ending.
Watch it and be very afraid.
god, this took a long time to type up.
When the first flight attendant gets Ebola, ALL BETS ARE OFF! They have strong unions and will refuse to fly to W. AFrica. It's not just the bathroom cleaners that are at risk.
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/10/09/plane-cleaners-strike-at-new-yo...
I hate flying and don't unless it's absolutely unavoidable. The last few flights I've been on, the crew has asked the passengers to clean up the plane.
they have passengers pick up their garbage on all planes now, except maybe first class (I wouldn't know). Saves them money. Airplanes used to be much cleaner, maybe they only really clean them once or twice a week now.
Listen Chunga.
You are so right. Stupid Americans comply.
"Oh yes ok, that sounds reasonable".
Pay for the flight(out the ass), get molested by TSA, and "CLEAN" the fucking plane, Serf!
My parents taught me to clean up after myself and not leave a mess for others to deal with, but they're British, so maybe it's different where you come from?
Continuing with flights from countries with ebola outbreaks is not done for humanitarian reasons nor greed on the part of airlines, this is being done for an evil, purposeful reason. Everything we've been seeing for the last few years is making sense now...
Ah ha.....so that's what we're waiting for!! Until airline personnel come down with it all the VIPs in the stricken countries have 21 days to get out apparently. Obama sticks with his buddies don'tcha know.
With both me and my wife traveling by air each week or so, I am getting kinda nervous
Boy, you haVe got this fucking right.
WE ARE FUCKED.

Israel always finds a way to steer clear of all atrocities. They're the cosen ones, I guess.
There's always the self-inflicted.
Many of its citizens are the children or the grandchildren of survivors of the Holocaust, so that is rather relative.
Listen Larssen.
Have you ever had the feeling that "FOLKS" don't like you?
Looks like December will be the key tell on the JIT delivery systems......watch for antigen shift with an increse in transmission rates .....gl

Wouldn't that be waaaycist?
According to the dual citizen who heads the CDC, it would just make things worse and harder to control.
:rollseyes:
Come on, let's not overreact here. Eliminating contact with W. Africa will only make the problem worse.

It is amazing how ISIS and now Ebola, can't seem to find Israel
It's mush easier to pass though the Mexican border.
They can't seem to find iceland either.
It's a numbers game, plus they prolly would'nt even admit it being an elite and all.
I saw it reported several months ago on the BBC TV News that ISIS had stated that Isreal was their "end goal." That's a no-brainer. It certainly looks as thought ISIS will take all of the ME and Africa as well since no one will fight/boots on the ground there and ISIS knows that. Whom they are most of all terrorizing are their own people in this process. For centuries the Arab fighter has had a history of surrendering to and subsequently joining the strongest leader/winning side. Unfortunately ISIS will continue to move forward and win unopposed in this scenerio.
IMO, if this really pops into a global pandemic, ISIS will become largely irrelevant when everybody is bleeding from their assholes.
I don't have the article, but I read last night that one of the hallmarks of this Ebola is it doesn't cause as many bleeding symptoms. It is one of the reasons that people underestimate the symptoms because it looks like something else until the very end.
Just food for though. You're welcome.
Which is also why there is NO BLOOD in ANY of the recent EBOLA pictures.
Make of that what you will.
If ISIS uses this as a weapon, can we then call them "terrorist assholes"?
Re the Ebola in the ME, perhaps that is exactly what the CIA is counting on.

"It is amazing how ISIS and now Ebola, can't seem to find Israel"
I just don't get the hate for Jews on here...what exactly is it about a civilized and democratic country and the success of its people that's so deplorable?
Give the anti semitism a break...it's unbecoming.
It's an attempt to have the ZH discredited. Flood it with race baiting, and then say that we're all a bunch of gun-toting, right-wing, prepper, gold-bug, Ron Paul-loving, anti-Obama looneys. ANd I HATE being called a looney.
Ignore it, but that won't help.
A previous article on ZH showed that a number of the posting anti-semites here are trolls (no doubt being paid by the gov to discredit ZH.) Probably culled from Skull and Boners sitting around on Sat. nights with nothing to do. One who was unmasked was a Jew himself. Fascinating.
I am over my reflexive anti-Israel hesitance to criticize them.
Any country that blasts civilians with supersonic democracy injections has lost the moral high ground.
I do appreciate the reasonable Israeli stance on not allowing people in from the hot-zones. I don't appreciate the fucking bombs that tore apart kids in Gaza.
We live in a time where telling the truth is a revolutionary act. However much others care to discredit through coopted labels like anti-semitism.
The "truth" is awesome up until you start believing your lying eyes.
Don't feed the trolls.
Deleted. Was a reply to a comment that is no longer there, apparently.
Its Airborne! Why else would Her local clinic prescribe her with a parachute? oh wait...nevermind..
Jeez, Tyler don't you have articles about playful kittens ? or happy puppies ? This is getting depressing.
Come on, are you too lazy to Google "happy puppies and playful kittens"?
I guess it does take more key presses than changing channels on a remote.
They could be happy puppies but they're being euthanized because they could be carrying ebola.
See Spain and the patient's dog.
Was in Home Depot this am.
Still had tyvek body suits and p100 masks in stock.
I have them in bulk already for my biz.
Looks like the sheeple are still grazing.
Over dinner last night my grandaughter asked when we would wear suits/masks,
saying we could not go out like that.
I told her we will wear them to bury anyone that comes closer than 50ft, if that time comes.
"Looks like the sheeple are still grazing."

Its not time to panic just yet.
The HD was not in Monrovia,asshat.
Oh right, you know everyone in the store right? Dickhead. Your sheep is showing. *do you think they'll be shambling around like zombies with bloody orifices and then you'll know it's time to tape up the doors and windows? Hell, it could be incubating in you right now.
Get back under your bed, you'll be safer there.
Shithead, you're the one talking about protective suits and masks. Haha. You are a moron.
I hear that a man from westchester NY was brought to Stonybrook NY Hospital to be treated for Ebola symtoms.
Oh was this man the assistant deputy's intern who went to poor sap Duncans house to clean up the mess and then he decided to go to westchester to meet his ex girlfriend because he decided all of a sudden to get back with her after dumping her 5 years ago????
Hollywood is tripping with the plots.
This sure is looking like one hell of a bad movie.
Hollywood conditions the mind and perception before they hit you with "News" to get the desire response from the sheeple.
21 Days Later might be a good title...
they are purposely trying to spread it. there can be no other explanation.
Without a doubt.
You know the one about not confusing incompetence and maliciousness?
i really like those things they are using to check people's temperature at the airport. They press them against the forehead. if one person has it, everyone gets it. by design. be first in line or be dead.
They have been jumping up and down about West Nile Virus since the 1990s... so maybe 20 years, then after 2002 all kinds of Federal Funds went to all the agencies: FEMA, DHS, HHS, CDC...
Plus the Crisis in New Orleans & Tsunamis.
The have plans on top of plans. And they pretend incompetence.
You didn't spread that
Oh my god! Are you kidding? Is that really what they are using???
Look at the bright side, at least they're not sharing mercury thermometers.
TPTB very frequently use the excuse of incompetence to cover their own maliciousness. We are bombarded by this by the media. 9/11 was an excellent example of this.
TPTB and their minions aren't as stupid as they want us to believe. If they were, they wouldn't be TPTB (and have all the wealth and power). This is not to suggest that they don't have some pretty stupid people on the payroll, especially in the lower livestock-herder echelons.
What did he know and when did he know it?
Yup they already know whats coming...so kill off a few million or so.
Agreed. Good thing CDC was prescient enough to stockpile hundreds of thousands of four corpse coffins that can be hermetically sealed over the last few years.
Thats the thing..I hope its just a few million.......
It'll be a few billion instead.
A million here, a million there, pretty soon you're talkin' real numbers.
there's no way in fuck i would ever go to any hospital that treated an ebola patient. hospitals are where you go to catch ebola, not cure it.
Disease Pandemic could be a strategy to keep Americans from Leaving the country and spending retirement money overseas.
We still need human consumption, debt increases, and Labor.
Retirement?????
We are certainly optimistic this morning.
FACTA tightened up foreign bank accounts... there are lots of people living overseas. Economic or Monetary Leakage if they spend savings in foreign countries.
70 years and older, 65 years and older, lot them got wealthy especially in the stock market up till 2007.
- Maybe 2 million Americans overseas???(I don't remember)
- Plus maybe 1 Million in Military or Government Service if you count their kids
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_diaspora
State Department estimate suggests that the number may be between 3 million and 6 million.[37]
Once again, all described in Metal.

If one does some research you will discover that the 4 person coffins originated from dealing with over crowding of our national cemeteries for service men. Many plots designated for military personel are at, or over, capacity and/or there no longer is deep enough soil available for traditional internment. The origial intent of these coffins was to bury deceased servicemen above ground (with soil and grass surrounding), four to a box to save space. If you poke around you will find many military cemeteries that have begun this practice since the first Gulf War. If the gov or cdc over bought for some spill over civilian use so be it but these coffins were NOT purchased for the sole intent of the future interning of civilian dead.
Additionally, I contracted West Nile in 2004 and survived. In 2007 I went through Swine Flu and survived. Yes the death rate for ebola is much higher but the point is contracting ebola is not a death sentence if one's own immune systems is healthy.
Oh yes there is an explanation - they are simply so dumb.
No?
How else is is possible that oligarchs and dicators and tyranns and their parties since thousands of years can lie and cheat and steal and do whatever they want? Since thousands of years!
The human race - 99.99% sheeple with ultra short memories and mega long greed - below the glittering surface - is still as dumb and ignorant as they were in stonage. Nothing at all changed. Still stupid animals.
"Humans" and their genes - are a fucking failed experiment.

it's all over but the bloody tears
No information avaiable, probably some poor souls alredy dying around thouse parts. In case of Brazil, it has extremely active air routes to Africa, and brazilian infrastructure companies are also very active at the craddle of the civilization.
I dont think this Ebola surge will create chaos across the globe, but the possibility to impact the poorest is alarming.
I am waiting for this to roll through India. I have never been to W Africa or India but I imagine the sanitation to be roughly equal. That should be a shit show of epic proportions.
You are spot on - only 5% of India has western standard sanitation.
Black Hole of Calcutta could take on a whole new meaning.
