Arenavirus: the outbreak of the virus is already deadly in Bolivia

Dear ATS Readers, Writers,

Disturbing news from Bolivia about Ebola, or an "Ebola-like" disease surfacing there.

Ebola Alert Bolivia Ebola virus kills doctors infects others

Bolivia has activated its sanitary protocols after several people fell ill in that country due to a still unknown disease. At least five suspected cases of infection are reported for what is presumed to be a virus, which caused the death of a doctor a little less than a month ago.

According to reports, the situation originated in the town of Caranavi, about 230 kilometers from La Paz, where the internist Ximena Cuéllar treated a man with a fever before he died of unknown causes. That patient, who did not undergo laboratory tests, is considered the ‘zero case’.

Cuéllar then fell ill and moved to the capital, where he died on June 4 despite the efforts of doctors. Two of them, of last names Vidales and Ortiz, appear from Thursday between the presumed infected ones and they remain in intensive therapy with hemorrhagic fever.

Sad news indeed.. these type of diseases really cause some serious panic..and fear..and rightly so.

This one os worth watching to see what is actually was that the poor victims come down with, and see if it gets stopped in its tracks from spreading to other people.

Good luck Bolivia. The title seems a bit not quite honest, but it is what it was on the original website. It is not known yet, if it actually is Ebola per the story text.

Was Bolivia one of the countries that the SA passed through heading for the USA?

All the more reason to close the US southern border until such time as it can be processed at 100% certainty.

Valerie and her son took a walk around this city’s downtown area on Monday after spending three months on a treacherous trek from Brazil, through Central America to Texas.

It's not just Congolese migrants arriving in alarming numbers. Border Patrol agents reported arresting more than 500 people from Africa since May 30. The group included nationals from Angola, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Isn't the Congo one of those countries with serious Ebola problems.

Democrat politicians and their lyin' Fake News comrades are seriously jeopardizing our citizens by constantly hindering efforts to firmly secure our borders.

We are going to be sorry we allowed this when we wake up one day and realize what we have let into our country, all because of politicians pandering for votes from a group of people, and politically-biased federal judges.

Another great reason to secure the border. We need to reinstate Ellis Island.

Queen,

Yes, the Congo is where Ebola initially emerged in the 60's. The source is thought to have been Green monkeys, which were bush meat for the tribes in the area.

I wouldn't doubt they have had people fly in from the Congo.

By the time anybody exposed to it in Bolivia would even get anywhere near the US/Mexico border, thousands of exposed individuals would have already come here by airplane.

So, closing the border would be pointless. By then, both coastline cities would be in freefall.

Dear ATS Readers, Writers,

Hello queenofswords; I admit I had similar concerns..

Evidently there has been a increase in African refugees in Bolivia...per their own data.. ending in 2016. At that time they were close to 800 in number... A lot Africans have successfully settled in South America too...and seem to be happy in their new country.

Congo did have Ebola cases in the past...and is active there again.

It isn't being racist to make sure refugees aren't bringing a terrible disease into your country.

I do believe if Ebola some how managed to get loose in South America, it would certainly thrive and do well there.

Hoping this is something a bit easier to deal with than Ebola per se'.

actually it can have an incubation period of up to 21 days, and depending, they dont always show symptoms

So thats not true either.

Just because they could have gotten here by plane, is not a reason not to close the border down.

Thats like saying "Well they are coming through our windows so just leave the door unlocked and open"

a reply to: pravdaseeker

indeed , especially since within 6 days not too long ago 500 people from African countries were detained

thats just the ones CAUGHT.

Not to worry, all part of the NWO plan. Another gift of globalization. I will start to worry when it hits Mexico.

It will hit Mexico and probably before year end.

Ebola is one of those things we used to not have to worry about because of our modern medical apparatus. Even if it got into this country. It was likely it wouldn't be able to spread far because of the sanitation protocols of a 1st world country. It would have to completely overwhelm our medical system to pose a real threat.

However, given the homeless and junkie situations in West Coast and similar cities, something like it could gain a substantial toehold if it got into those populations. There might be a real problem there.

As with Ebola, Arenavirus is spread though contact with bodily fluids. A carrier that is asymptomatic will very likely have a low viral count and risk of spread would be minimal...Does that mean I'd like to share a Fanta? No, not really. However, there is a term for patients that are saturated with the virus, that term is "wet". It would be apparent that a "wet" patient is very sick. It is doubtful that they would be capable of travelling much at all. I think the U.S. is more likely to battle a pandemic of the flu virus, for which is offered many opportunities for vaccination, though many refuse to participate...

Think about the intravenous drug users in the homeless population and the needle sharing that goes on that spreads other diseases most of us have little reason to fear.

Such a disease could become a hairy problem in a hurry.

Oh joy.

I live in a sanctuary state.


Well. . . . it's been fun!
