Headline on Drudge...
Second MERS case in US NEW YORK (AP) -- Health officials have confirmed a second U.S. case of a mysterious virus that has sickened hundreds in the Middle East.
A news conference to discuss the case has been scheduled for Monday afternoon by the Florida Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus is MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. It is a respiratory illness that begins with flu-like fever and cough but can lead to shortness of breath, pneumonia and death. Most cases have been in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere in the Middle East. But earlier this month a first U.S. case was diagnosed in a man who traveled from Saudi Arabia to Indiana. *** see more at link *** |

I never suspected ebola could get out of control because it had such a short incubation period. But 21 days? An infected person could fly around the world a few times easily in 21 days. That would be pandemic time imho. |

Obungler is circumventing your efforts by importing thousands upon thousands of biological disease carrying vectors through the southern border. While you're busy inventing ways to protect from military grade bio warfare, he's going about it the old fashioned way, human vectors as walking petri dishes of antibiotic resistant strains of every disease known to kill mankind in the past. |

New research suggests that MERS might be airborne
By Jennifer Pilgrim, 7/23/2014 MERS may be airborne, say researchers from Saudi Arabia. The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), was found in air samples taken from a barn in which an infected camel resided. The fact that this disease was populated within the air around the camel suggests that it may be able to be spread through air, which is a new threat for health officials. According to Healio Infectious Disease News, there have been a total of 834 cases of MERS internationally, and 288 deaths related to the disease. It was within a previous study that Esam Azhar, a PhD researcher with the project, isolated the MERS virus between a man and his pet camel. They found that the man had applied topical cream to the animal, causing him to receive the virus. He later passed away from his condition. Science World Report News reports that this new study solidifies the notion that the virus is spread from camel to human most often, and now there is suggestions that it may be airborne passage. "Further investigations and measures are needed to prevent possible airborne transmission of this deadly virusm," stated Azhar in a statement to Health Day. He explains that even this slightest detection of the molecules being airborn, "which were 100 percent identical with the viral genomic sequence detected from a camel actively shedding the virus in the same barn on the same day," means that scientists and researchers have a lot of work ahead of them to ensure that the virus does not spread any faster than it already has. |

Nigeria confirmed earlier on Friday that he had died in quarantine. "His blood sample was taken to the advance laboratory at the Lagos university teaching hospital, which confirmed the diagnosis of the Ebola virus disease in the patient, |

It's fascinating how large some of these cities are in lesser developed parts of the world. I'm too old sadly, but if I had it to do over, I would like to see some of them... 21 million folks in one city.... That's almost 1/10 the pop of the entire USA. There must be huge skills involved in keeping things running, even less than smoothly... Lagos |

Lots of updates today about ebola. They dont have the minimal training in basic cleanliness in any of the countries where this is spreading. It has spread to Lagos. A city of 21 million. They are unable to keep it from spreading by people flying between countries. Im very surprised it hasnt arrived in Europe, South America or the US yet. This group is great at collecting articles. The discussions below the articles dont add much though. http://avianflutalk.com/latest-news_forum3.html?SID=6178251b6bc9e6ed33c42bbe813a78906597222 |

That's what I noticed too from reading the articles and why this is especially worrisome, before it was so hot that it simply burned out by killing everyone in a small area too quickly for anyone to move around much. Now this one apparently has a lower mortality rate (60% vs. 90%), but has so much more potential for damage due to that very fact. Hate to be crying wolf before the fact or acting too paranoid, but if I were the leader of ANY country right now, i'd be banning flights into my country from west Africa period, turning back any cargo boats too. If you don't get ahead of the curve you get crushed by it. |

This could get good... Its worth watching:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2707907/Ebola-virus-spread-globally-plane-brings-Nigeria.html An outbreak of Ebola could spread worldwide after an infected plane passenger introduced the deadly virus to Nigeria, health experts warned last night.
Previous outbreaks were confined to forests and rural areas, but this one has already spread across four countries in West Africa, killing 672 – the disease’s biggest death toll. The news came as it emerged that an American doctor working for a charity in Liberia had become infected. Dr Kent Brantly, 33, from Texas, had moved to the country for the Samaritan’s Purse organisation with his children and wife, Amber, to help contain the disease. More than 1,000 others have been infected by the virus, which can go unnoticed for three weeks and kills 90 per cent of victims. The outbreak started in Guinea in February and spread to neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone in weeks. After an air traveller brought it to Nigeria, health experts now fear infected air passengers who do not realise they have the virus could spread it around the world.

Ebola Quote: Recent research[edit] In late 2012, Canadian scientists discovered that the deadliest form of the virus could be transmitted by air between species.[146] They managed to prove that the virus was transmitted from pigs to monkeys without any direct contact between them, leading to fears that airborne transmission could be contributing to the wider spread of the disease in parts of Africa. Evidence was also found that pigs might be one of the reservoir hosts for the virus; the fruit bat has long been considered as the reservoir.[146] A 2013 study isolated antibodies from fruit bats in Bangladesh, against Ebola Zaire and Reston viruses, thus identifying potential virus hosts and signs of the filoviruses in Asia.[147] |
