What do you folks thinking, will winter somehow stop this shit?

I'm talking about exponential growing of illness.

What we have:

   winter 100,000 ? ? ? ?
   ,,,,,
   ....

   autumn 5,000 - 10,000 infected
   ......
   .....
   summer 1,000 - 5,000 infected
   .....
   ....
spring 10 - 100 infected

IIRC cold weather helps virus molecule stay together, hence people catch colds in winter, if same principle is at work, more ebola cases in winter?

There is no winter in the equatorial hot zones of Africa, Asia, and Central America.

The do-gooder doctor who brought ebola to NYC, forcing the negative externalities of his risky behavior on others, should be immediately sealed in a lead casket and dumped deep in the ocean.

It's bad enough that Obama waited until the horse left to close the barn door, but I'm getting really PO'd at these people make themselves feel good by volunteering and then bring that shit back with them.

If they care so damn much, they should stay in Ebolatopia and help until it blows over or they die from the consequences of their poor decisions.

It's nice to see the humanitarian spirit is alive and well.

Good recent article on Ebola here: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/27/ebola-wars

Doctors and other health workers in West Africa have lost track of the chains. Too many people are sick, and more than two hundred medical workers have died. Health authorities in Europe and the United States seem equipped to prevent Ebola from starting uncontrolled chains of infection in those regions, but they worry about what could happen if Ebola got into a city like Lagos, in Nigeria, or Kolkata, in India. The number of people who are currently sick with Ebola is unknown, but almost nine thousand cases, including forty-five hundred deaths, have been reported so far, with the number of cases doubling about every three weeks. The virus seems to have gone far beyond the threshold of outbreak and ignited an epidemic.

"PLEASE SCULPT YOUR SHIT BEFORE THROWING. Thank U"

1. you can't put in the same room Women and Men of Duty and a spinner (or the spinner may have an undisclosed sudden (and even tragic) death).
2. don't have sex, make love to the one in which love can mutually grow.
3. mainstream articles = to the trash without consequences, if it was important it wouldn't be there.

Excellent article, thanks. And in another article I saw how having sex with a formerly contaminated Ebola victim could in theory contaminate you for months after that person stopped being symptomatic. Don't recall where I read that, but it was in a mainstream press article a few weeks ago.

If Ebola reaches Nigeria, all bets of containing it are off IMO.

Finally some good news: Nigeria and Senegal are now officially Ebola-free.

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/20/health/ebola-outbreak-roundup/

Nice but I don't believe it. The definition of "Ebola free" is the lack of a reported Ebola case for three weeks. But I bet some people are not reporting their illness (or it would not surprise me).

Quote

data associated with the Congo outbreak indicates that people possibly exposed to Ebola should remain in isolation for as long as 31 days.

The revolution will be monetized!

I noticed last week that the WHO did not have data for several areas in the region. They are saying that some places are now to dangerous to get in and do surveillance. Not a good sign.

ebola zombie ? Hoax for now ...
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/weird-news/ebola-risen-from-the-dead-viral-zombie-story-is-a-complete-hoax-9777916.html

I'd guess people who die of ebola are disposed of pretty quickly. In case of expedited closed-casket burial, maybe it isn't completely impossible to see a twitchy cadaver thump in a coffin. Maybe there'll be a West African Pagan renaissance. Cheesy

Ahhh.... that's not funny. Sad

I would think that even in a closed casket funeral there would still be a risk of transmission of the disease from the deceased to the people attending the funeral (at least the people who handle the dead body and who get close to the casket - I think some people may even "look inside" even though they are not suppose to)

I think the governments are actually generally cremating the bodies of people who died from Ebola to prevent the spread of it from their body to people who attend the funerals of the deceased

“People in the Western World need to know what’s happening here in West Africa. THEY ARE LYING!!! 'Ebola' as a virus does NOT Exist and is NOT 'Spread'. The Red Cross has brought a disease to 4 specific countries for 4 specific reasons and it is only contracted by those who receive treatments and injections from the Red Cross. That is why Liberians and Nigerians have begun kicking the Red Cross out of their countries and reporting in the news the truth."

See more at: http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/ebo-lie-man-living-in-ghana-confirms-ebola-is-a-hoax/#sthash.7Jof6vGU.dpuf .

Another "man in Gahna" says: "Also teh trees mon, the trees are talking and saying evil tings. Some mon put a hex on me!

True. But they are the ones with experience dealing with ebola. Might be we should learn from them.

It's not impossible that there might be some half truth to the Red Cross story. Like, some focus of new infection and disease transmittal in the vicinity of the Red Cross facilities. False attribution of cause to call it a conspiracy, yeah.

Just saying.

Kind of like saying...

"Stay away from those hospitals, mon. I know for a fact lots of people go in alive and come out dead!"

In an ebola outbreak, a hospital is the last place I'd want to be.
Medical staff are 10x more likely than the average person to contract hemorrhagic fever.
So you are right, it is the last place a lot of people are.
