Ebola

[Tartar Horde]

Agreed Mort, Western Doctors working in this field know exactly what this Virus can do, and treat it with the utmost respect. There was an issue at the CDC a few years ago when Ebola nearly escaped into the population that caused a major pant shitting moment. Read "Hot Zone", it opened my eyes to the real danger. It will be obvious to everyone if this Virus does mutate into a true airborne one by the vast number of people who will start to die, TPTB will not be able to control the news or hide the truth. At the moment the numbers are low, meaning the Virus is still limited to close contact? I put a question mark there as I don't understand the full message the WHO are putting out. I watched a WHO Doctor talking on Al Jazeera who said the patients exhibit "Flu Like" symptoms for a while before they get really ill, and during this time they are infectious to other people.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this exactly how Pneumonic plague spread in Medieval Europe? infected people living in close proximity to one another coughing and spluttering germs everywhere. In Africa we have very similar conditions to medieval Europe (no insult meant) masses of people living cheek by jowl, with poor sanitation and health care, and even less education, it is a time bomb. Up to now the outbreaks have been in areas of lowish population density (for Africa) now it has reached Lagos in Nigeria with a population of 21 million. The man was an employee of the Liberian Government (leaving the sinking ship?) and collapsed on the plane and was taken to a hospital in Lagos. http://www.independent.ie/world-news/afr...62493.html
I'm certainly not scared or worried at this point, but I do remain very cautious and will continue to observe how the virus progresses.
