I don't think too many people laughed when the Spanish flu killed tens of thousands in this country. Another pandemic is coming. Don't doubt it. Ebola I am not. It's funny how ARFCOM isn't concerned with influenza in the least given the hysteria against the vaccine in any flu vaccination threads but two people with ebola that are being treated in isolation? Oh teh noes!!!!! |

Keep in mind that 90% rate is entirely derived from the conditions in rural African shitholes. Who knows what it would be over 1,000 victims with prompt access to high quality care. Serious question - where would we put 1000 ebola positive patients here in the US? Do most hospitals have a large quarantine area? AIDS is slow. Ebola is fast. In action. But transmission isn't magically faster. While Ebola is more transmittable than AIDS, it isn't exactly a wildfire contagion. Particularly in places with sanitation and cultural practices significantly less helpful to the disease. Imagine the spread of AIDS at a conference of virgins. |

View Quote The disease is first transmitted to humans who are handling infected monkey corpses and don't take proper hygiene measures. How many well off people do you know who do that? There is a reason why ebola keeps popping up in Africa every few years. ignorance is rife there, education lacking. Combine that with nasty bugs in animal vectors and you get what we see now. |

So not only are we enduring human wave attacks as part of the ethnic cleansing soft kill, including the use of child human shields, now we face biological attacks on the American citizenry.
