I know Bill Gates is a big fan of depopulation... I guess he has a sweet smile on his face.

Most democrats are openly in support of depopulation

Abortion, gay marriage, birth control, all great means of population control.

Fox’s Ebola coverage is ‘a level of ignorance we should not allow'

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/pbs-science-reporter-foxs-ebola-coverage-is-a-level-of-ignorance-we-should-not-allow/

Miles O’Brien, the science correspondent for PBS Newshour, lamented on Sunday that he was embarrassed at some of the coverage of Ebola on Fox News that had a “racial component,” and seemed intended to scare viewers.

On the Sunday edition of CNN’s Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter looked back at the last week’s coverage of Ebola on Fox News. In one case, Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck seemed almost disappointed when an expert downplayed the threat of the disease in the United States.

“We’ve heard the words ‘Ebola in America,’ a lot the past few days,” Stelter noted. “It’s technically true. There is a case of Ebola here in America. But to say Ebola is here, doesn’t that sort of inflame people’s fears?”

“It borders on irresponsibility when people get on television and start talking that way when they should know better,” O’Brien explained. “They should do their homework and they should report in a responsible manner.”

“Unfortunately, it’s a very competitive business, the business we’re in, and there is a perception that by hyping up this threat, you draw people’s attention,” he added. “That’s a shame to even say that and I get embarrassed for our brethren in journalism.”

Stelter also pointed to Fox News host Andrea Tantaros, who had warned viewers that West Africans might come to the U.S. infected with Ebola, and then go to a “witch doctor” instead of the hospital.

“We could digress into what motivated that and perhaps the racial component of all this, the arrogance, the first world versus third world statements and implications of just that,” O’Brien remarked. “It’s offensive on several levels and it reflects, frankly, a level of ignorance which we should not allow in our media and in our discourse.”

So we have reaction of bitcoin markets to presence of ebola is USA or something? Because this ridiculously low price of bitcoin right now cannot be explained in normal way...

This ridicoulus low price was debated in other subforums here and is not related to ebola. Big trades are going on. Someone told us about maybe early adopters dumping some of their stocks.. Just look in the main subforums not in the "Other" one.

How did he get the disease? Sharing fluids with a sick person? Something about this doesn't make sense. If you can't get this from someone who isn't showing symptoms, there must be a lot of people sharing body fluids with Ebola patients in Africa.
Infected person is relatively safe while no symptoms have been developed. However, infection through blood transfusion or sexual intercourse is still possible.
All you need to do if swap bodily fluids, it does not need to be as much as you would get from sex or a blood transfusion. It can be as little as a little bit of blood, vomit or feces
Only if person developed symptoms of the desease. Don't forget that saliva and perspiration also contain antibodies which are capable to neutralize the virus particles. If there are no symptoms then there is not enough virus titres in the fluids to get infection. But the blood and semen, on the other hand, have very high titres of virus even if there are no symptoms developed yet.
Do you have a source on this? I know you can catch the virus while it is still in the incubation period (21 days) and I don't think there are that many instances of this kind of bodily fluid swaps to cause it to spread

#Ebola: 47 questions and answers that will set your hair on fire

http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/ebolagate-47-questions-and-answers/

People's blog posts are always a credible source of news and facts.   Roll Eyes

You can dispute facts with logic and other facts. Dismissing them offhand shows that you are not aware of the facts.

Is the CDC doing any titer testing for Ebola?

So let me get this straight in my mind... The CDC Director says that a travel ban would have made Ebola worse. So he is saying by banning air travel from Ebolaville to the USA would cause more Ebola in the USA. That is some pretty fucked up logic!

CDC director: Travel ban could make Ebola outbreak worse

There was a documented case of transmission via a person stealing an infected person's cell phone.
This is possible however in order for this to happen the cell phone would have needed to have blood, spit (not 100% sure on this), snot, tears, sweat (probably most likely) or something similar from the infected person, then the other person would need to get this bodily fluid into their own body (maybe by rubbing their eye). I would say that this would be very unusual and would not be unsafe to use the same cell phone as someone who is infected
Is spit ending up on a cell phone really that unrealistic of a scenario? Or sweat in the middle of Africa for the matter? It doesn't take much.

"Whatever may be done to guard against interruptions of supply and to develop domestic alternatives, the U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries. That fact gives the U.S. enhanced interest in the political, economic, and social stability of the supplying countries. Wherever a lessening of population pressures through reduced birth rates can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resource supplies and to the economic interests of the United States." - Henry Kissinger
