Ebola... Ebola everywhere.

[Mellow]

Mass Quarantine coming to a theatres near you.

28 days later..... Lol

 

[Venomous Cobra]

I wouldn't worry about it. Ebola ca be treated so there is no threat to your life.

It actually has no cure :| if you're is infected they'll just keep you in check and wait untill you die slowly , 95% of the people who had died so ...................................

I pull nothing out me arse

Fanfictions are one of those many things Lol
ot: well it seems you didn't pull this out of your ass. But that article doesn't prove that all of those 100 are infected. They're just being monitored

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

100 people are being monitered, and it's not even an airborne virus. Just be more hygienic and cautious and you should be fine.

 

[Uzumaki Macho]

How did that one guy in Texas get it?

There might actually be a second person in Texas who may have gotten ebola from the original person, but it's mostly heresay.

There was also a scare of a person in Hawaii possibly having it, but they lucked out. So far the United States is dodging bullets, so far so good.

lol, I'll read

100 people are being monitored. Doesn't mean they have it

My point is You can survive from it.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

My point is You can survive from it.

Really samll chance you can survive it , matter fact it's nearly impossible! !!! But anyway I'll give hope and say there's a 15% chance that you can survive ebola

 

[Jcub]

100 + people possibly infected.

Ebola patients (untreated ) being let out of the hospital?? Wtf. Our government is terrible. Why couldn't they just contain the one person who had it? Now the outbreak has started.

I think I jinxed it cuz I play this game on my phone called "Plague Inc" and I named the disease Ebola. Fùck me right. !?

Its hard for me to play that game now adays 0_o

Ebola is just the start. Things are going to get worse, spare a prayer for those infected... I can't even fathom having to deal with loved ones suffering from something like that.

 

[Lightbringer]

My race of elite beings is contemplating whether we should stop this plague, decisions decisions.

OT: The life of one American was valued over the well being of Billions, you go figure.

Personally I think every country's priority should be its own citizens. It's not like we have to help anybody else, yet we still do....globally.

There's only so much help to go around.

 

[Queequeg]

Ebola-chan is here <3

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Survival rates have been from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks.

 

[SharinganReader]

So ebola spreads sameway as aids right?

 

[Wabbit]

many Americans will now sell their AR 15 and other weapons and buy hazmat suite and stuff

 

[demon of the leaf]

He went to africa

 

[Cassosphere]

Them ebola peeps need to be executed to prevent the spread. I'll Danzo this shit myself.

LMAO! hahaha

 

[NukaCola]

I love you, Ebola-chan! <3<3<3

To get Ebola, you have to ingest or somehow get an infected person's fluids inside your body. As long as you keep a distance from people, and wash your hands regularly while having above subpar hygiene, you'll be fine.​

This is an incredibly arrogant and biggoted statement.

"You will be fine if you're not a dirty person. You won't get it."

What kind of bullshit is that? Hey - how's that hepatitis (cold sore) on your face? Oh - but if you weren't a dirty person, you wouldn't have gotten it.

Prick.

These guys WROTE THE BOOK on Ebola and were among the first to classify its existence (along with Marburg).

"I took up my notebook and pencil, holding them awkwardly in one of my suit gloves, and we faced the steel door.

Martha looked down at my glove. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THAT NOTEBOOK?"

"IN THERE," I shouted, indicating the door leading to Level 4.

She began laughing behind her faceplate. "IT'S FINE TO BRING YOUR NOTEBOOK INTO BL-4, BUT IT WILL NEVER COME OUT AGAIN. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AUTOCLAVED"— cooked in a pressure oven. "THE PAPER WOULD DISSOLVE."

So I couldn't take notes. We would be in Level 4 for at least an hour. I wouldn't be able to recall nearly enough. "I NEED SOME WAY OF TAKING NOTES. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?"

"YOU COULD TRY THIS." She handed me a sheet of ?exible white plastic material, rather like paper, but, she explained, it was coated with Te?on. The researchers used this material in place of paper in a hot zone. You could write on it with a pen. It could be sterilized without damage.

"WHAT ABOUT MY PENCIL?" I asked. "CAN I TAKE THAT IN?"

"UH-UH," Jeremy said, inspecting my mechanical pencil and shaking his head. "THAT'S GOT A SHARP TIP. PUNCTURE YOUR SUIT. SHE'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH WHEN WE GET TO THE HOT SIDE." "[/u]

These people are paranoid ****s when it comes to working with Ebola - and it STILL terrifies them.

"And, indeed researchers discovered that this was a new species of Ebola virus, which they named Ebola-Reston15, 28, 29. The new virus was highly pathogenic in monkeys but apparently not in humans. The researchers also dispelled the idea that filoviruses were found only in Africa, because the monkeys had been imported from the Philippines. The investigators documented a high likelihood of aerosol transmission outside a controlled laboratory setting, because the virus appeared to pass between rooms to infect susceptible monkeys. Specimens from animals that died or were killed to eradicate the outbreak yielded fertile ground for research in new Ebola virus detection and identification techniques and the virological and pathological events associated with infection.

Twenty years later there still is no standard treatment for Ebola. Currently, patients are provided supportive therapy consisting primarily of balancing the patient’s fluids and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status and blood pressure, and treating them for any further complications.

In January 1997, unable to halt another outbreak of Ebola-Reston virus, Ferlite Scientific Research Farm killed 600 monkeys and soon thereafter permanently closed. In June 1995, the “Monkey House” was torn down. Even though the inside of the building was fumigated with formaldehyde and scrubbed with bleach several times, the closed facility remained unoccupied."

I was researching Ebola "before it was cool."

TRANSMISSION — Experiments in laboratory animals indicate that filoviruses can initiate infection via many routes, including ingestion, inhalation, or passage through breaks in the skin [13]. Nonhuman primates can be infected with Marburg or Ebola virus through droplet inoculation of virus into the mouth or eyes, suggesting that cases of human infection result from the inadvertent transfer of virus to these sites from the patient's own contaminated hands [55,56].

Person-to-person — Person-to-person transmission occurs through direct contact of broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes with virus-containing body fluids (eg, blood, vomitus, urine, feces, semen, and probably sweat) from a person who has developed signs and symptoms of illness [57]. This mode of transmission may lead to outbreaks [40].

●One type of direct contact that leads to transmission is the ritual washing of Ebola victims at funerals [41]. An epidemiologic study found that family members were only at risk of infection if they had physical contact with sick individuals or their body fluids, or helped to prepare a corpse for burial [58].

●Healthcare workers are at risk of infection if they care for a patient with Ebola or Marburg virus disease without appropriate protective measures. Over 370 healthcare workers have become infected during the epidemic in West Africa, due in large part to shortages of personal protective equipment and/or exposure to patients with unrecognized Ebola virus disease [19,46,59]. Approximately 50 percent have died.

Ebola virus disease is rarely, if ever, spread from person to person by the respiratory route [60]. Although aerosolized filoviruses are highly infectious for laboratory animals, in humans, airborne transmission has only been reported among healthcare workers who were exposed to aerosols generated during medical procedures. (See 'Nosocomial transmission' below.)

Prior to the epidemic in West Africa, outbreaks of Ebola and Marburg virus disease were typically controlled within a period of weeks to a few months. This outcome was generally attributed to the relatively inefficient person-to-person transmission of the virus in areas of the African rainforest where population density was low and residents rarely traveled far from home. However, the epidemic in West Africa has shown that Ebola virus disease can spread rapidly and widely as a result of the extensive movement of infected individuals (including undetected travel across national borders) and the avoidance and/or lack of adequate medical isolation centers [59,61]

"PATHOGENESIS — Ebola virus enters the body through mucous membranes, breaks in the skin, or parenterally. The pathogen infects many cell types, including monocytes, macro****es, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, hepatocytes, adrenal cortical cells, and epithelial cells [80]. Because of the difficulty of performing clinical studies under outbreak conditions, almost all data on the pathogenesis of Marburg and Ebola virus diseases have been obtained from laboratory experiments employing mice, guinea pigs, and a variety of nonhuman primates."

"The woman's sister cared for her, and in doing so contracted the Ebola virus herself before her sibling died of the haemorrhagic fever it causes.

Feeling unwell and fearing a similar fate, the sister wanted to see her husband - an internal migrant worker then employed on the other side of Liberia at the Firestone rubber plantation.

She took a communal taxi via Liberia's capital Monrovia, exposing five other people to the virus who later contracted and died of the Ebola. In Monrovia, she switched to a motorcycle, riding pillion with a young man who agreed to take her to the plantation and whom health authorities were subsequently desperate to trace.

"It's an analogous situation to the man in the airplane" who flew into Lagos and died there, said Derek Gatherer of Britain's Lancaster University, an expert in viruses who has been tracking the West Africa outbreak closely.

Liberia's Ebola case count is now 329 including 156 deaths, according to latest data from the World Health Organisation - although not all are linked to the Guinea market case.

Gatherer noted that while Ebola does not spread through the air and is not considered "super infectious", cross-border human travel can easily help it on its way. "It's one of the reasons why we get this churn of infections," he said."

But don't worry.

Only dirty people get it.

Dirty, filthy, nasty people.

Not you.

Not the clean people who speak English and believe in open borders with no quarantine procedures for people coming from areas afflicted by viral epidemics.

We're wealthy. We're above Ebola.

Don't you know who we are? We're the west. We defeated smallpox. Ebola has been defeated, already. By decree, already, Ebola's days are numbered.
