Ebola is going to get you unless ISIS gets you first. Or will evil dictator Putin start World War III in his efforts to take over the world? Or will Iran detonate a suitcase nuke in your city because they hate us for our freedoms?
Start wearing a breathing mask, run in circles and panic.
Miami Hospital Reports Potential Ebola Case
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/08/2014 13:07 -0400
While details of the case and patient are not immediately known, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said earlier that a potential case of Ebola is being treated at a Miami-are hospital. This comes as the WHO reports a surge of “many thousands of new cases” in Liberia in recent days and fears rise that the dreadful disease could be spread by animals.
A potential case of Ebola is being treated at a Miami-area hospital, officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
The details of the case and patient weren’t immediately known.
And via Bloomberg, the outbreak continues to explode…
- *MANY NEW EBOLA CASES SEEN IN LIBERIA OVER 3 WEEKS: WHO
- *WHO SAYS LIBERIA HAS HIGHEST NUMBER OF EBOLA CASES, DEATHS
The World Health organization estimates 1,000 beds urgently needed to treat patients.
Liberia has the highest cumulative number of reported cases and deaths
Scientists have created a new map of places most at risk of an Ebola outbreak and say regions likely to be home to animals harbouring the virus are more widespread than previously feared, particularly in West Africa.

Contained?
I’m not panicking.
I think ebola is already here, and has been here for awhile. Just not reported. We are only told what they want to tell us about everything else, why on earth would medical things be any different?
Panicking is nature’s response to the fact you didn’t prepare for something. Avoid panic with planning and preparations.
That is the best I can do, anyone can do.
Oh yeah, breathe deeply and slowly too. Panic brings upon short breaths which depletes the body of oxygen, thus making your brain even more panicky.

Yohimbo –
Not saying it could not happen but…
While I’ll agree that it is likely to get here (because morons in high places are inviting same) I think one has to be careful to define “spread”.
While the media would have us believe “fast”, the current math of the disease progression doesn’t support that. And that is is a region bereft of lots of safety gear, clean water and good sanitary practice. Look at Lagos – not exactly top-ranked in such regards. The virus showed up in a symptomatic carrier on July 25. Since then, the whole of Nigeria has tolled 19 cases and 7 deaths.
I am not casual about the risk but it is important to keep one’s perspective.

Fear is the primary mechanism of control. Add media hype which is icing on the government cake.

Line up for your next vaccination bitches!… By the time a newborn today is 50 (if we’re still here) there will be 300 mandated vaccines per year, and everyone but a few (the bosses) will be walking around vaccine-lobotomized….mmhhh, so I guess there will be no difference afterall…
Windsor, Ontario, Canada is reporting they are treating a returning Canuck that has “ebola-like” symptoms.
Windsor is right over the border from De’toilet.
I’m sure it’s nothing.
Nothing to see here, move along.
I”m not sure exactly how to connect all the dots on this Ebola problem but like all big problems in the world if you want to actually make progress towards a solution or resolution first you must kill the bankers. Even if bankers are in no way connected to the Ebola problem if wouldn’t hurt one bit to kill them all anyway.
“In animals, Ebola behaves differently than it does in people, for example concentrating in lung tissue.”
If it mutates, which it is of course doing (because of all of the different strains), then we could be in trouble.
“To be spread through the air, it also generally helps if the virus is concentrated in the lungs of affected patients. For humans, this is not the case. Ebola generally isn’t an infection of the lungs. The main organ that the virus targets is the liver. That is why patients stricken with Ebola develop very high amounts of the virus in the blood and in the feces, and not in their respiratory secretions.
Could Ebola mutate in a way that confers these qualities on the virus?
Anything is possible. But such a scientific feat would rate as highly unlikely.”

“In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature.”
These pigs were inoculated with Ebola to begin with, though. But some caged monkeys in the same room as the piglets did contract Ebola, even though they weren’t in direct contact with the pigs. Because pigs’ respiratory tracts are affected, air droplets (air-borne) probably was the transmission vehicle to the monkeys.
