Fever can kill? Learn something new everyday.
You forgot the operative word. HEMORRHAGIC fever. The incubation time for this disease can be around 20 days. It has already spread to different African countries by plane. It could easily already be all over the world and no one would even know it yet.

OH SHI-!
Oh wait a minute.... guys, this isn't the daily mirror is it? Yes I think it is, these guys are full of shit.
It's scary that the scope of this outbreak appears to be widening all the time, the world is focused elsewhere but this could be a huge thing if left unchecked
this will be a good test, if ebola spread along USA
GAME OVER
I wasn't aware that one could be immune from the ebola virus.
Once you get infected and beat it (i.e. don't die) your body has the anti-bodies for it, and you become immune.
Until it mutates...
Anyone who goes to Liberia should stay there, or at least not be welcomed back to Dallas until after a few months in quarantine.
Bleeding heart liberals who want to become bleeding-ass liberals are making the rest of us subsidize their irresponsible do-gooding BS.
How can the ebola comes back after decades dorment?
I guess it is a proof that there is another way of transmission other than from people to people ehen they are in their worse condition.
But no one knows what it could be.
So no one can know for sure wether it can spread for other parts of the world or not.
It is a cross species virus. Or so the latest research indicates.I guess it is a proof that there is another way of transmission other than from people to people ehen they are in their worse condition.

It may not kill other types of animals so, they can carry it much longer. Bats, monkeys, not certain but lots of possibilities. Some have thought that even house pets may be able to be carriers.
If rats can carry it... very bad news for cities. Difficult to quarantine those.
You know what's bullshit? This idiot travels back from Liberia on sept 19th and NOBODY quarantines him or checks him for the virus. He essentially ran around for 10 days spreading the virus before being admitted to the hospital. He even went into the doctors a few days earlier and they sent him home thinking he just had a cold. Now the shit is over here and likely to spread.....

One unique and terrible feature of the epidemic is the fact that doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are getting infected and dying at an unprecedented rate. The WHO has reported, as of September 22, that 384 health-care workers have gotten the virus and 186 have died.
That means 198 doctors and nurses can now work directly with the infected without protective gear, since they are now immune.

384 workers got infected. 198 didn't die and are now immune.
There are also a few different known strains (and other hemmoragics), they haven't verified cross-immunity yet, but they may also be immune to other strains (or not). Also reputedly negative blood types are somewhat less susceptible.

This is very scary, although it is only one case and the person infected was recently in an area that has been part of the outbreak, so they likely did not contract it in the US (and hopefully did not give it to anyone while traveling back here nor to anyone already here

Not true LOL. It is difficult for medical professionals to protect themselves 100% when dealing with people who are infected and 198 have been able to protect themselves enough so they did not contract the virus

UN's Ebola virus HQ in Ghana opens
UN mission tasked with figuring out where the greatest needs are and making sure aid gets there
The UN mission to combat Ebola opened its headquarters on Monday in Ghana, where it will co-ordinate international aid to assist West Africa to combat the accelerating crisis.
This outbreak has spiralled into the worst ever for Ebola, and the World Health Organization says it is has linked more than 3,000 deaths to the disease. Even that frightening figure is likely an underestimate of the true toll, said WHO. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea have been hit hardest. Senegal and Nigeria have also been touched, but have not reported a new case in weeks.
In the face of desperate calls from governments and aid agencies on the ground, many promises of aid have poured in recently, and some of it — from health care workers to surgical gloves to protective suits for doctors and nurses — has begun to arrive. But some say the response is still too slow and haphazard.

Ebola epidemic: Sierra Leone quarantines 2 MILLION people
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/25/ebola-epidemic-sierra-leone-quarantine-un-united-nations
Sierra Leone’s government has quarantined more than a million people in an attempt to bring an end to the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
Areas in the east of the country on the border of Guinea have been under quarantine for months but travel is now restricted in three more areas where an estimated 1.5 million people live. Nearly a third of the country’s population across 14 districts is now under curfew.
The move comes as world leaders meet to discuss the crisis at the United Nations, and days after a three-day nationwide lockdown ended.

I predict 300k deaths before the number of new cases starts to slow appreciably.
