EBOLA is back

Reports coming out of the Congo are suggesting Ebola is back and has claimed 17 lives so far since December, ok, that's relatively a low amount but didn't the last outbreak start off with a low amount? It started again after two patients tested positive for the disease in an isolated market town called Bikoro in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

10 others have been infected - including staff members at the hospital in Bikoro. Congo's health minister announced that one of the 10 had died on Thursday.

a WHO official revealed that several cases of Ebola were first documented back in December - meaning that the virus has already had five months to spread.

11,000 died from this back in 2014 in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia in 2014 after the virus spread from a young boy living in a village in rural Guinea.

So, it's had 5 Months to spread since the first victim which means there could be many more if it's managed to get out from the Congo.

Or not.

Second line.

a reply to: vinifalou

Right.

11,000, probably more, died the last time in 2014... 17 as I type this have died since January of this year.

How many people have been born since January? Or since 2014?

As a population reduction agenda, it's not exactly working, is it?

maybe it was a test run?

This time there is a vaccine.

That's good. Looks like they are ready for this if it gets out of hand.

ah yes... the vaccines will save us LOL.

Who wants to be first to go get their ebola shot?

It will be ok guys we just need to follow these steps......

Unless you're planning on traveling to Congo there's not much reason to.

a reply to: agenda51

If so, I'd have to say, back to the drawing board.

Influenza, of which ever type, kills many times that every winter. So I'm not too terribly worried.

With the fine humanitarians from WHO ready to stick folks with a vaccine: what's to worry about?

a reply to: Phage

LOl.. the problem is when the Congo comes travelling to us.

We all know our own government would never even think about starting something here. The american indians know this as well as anyone. And thats just an obvious one that everyone agrees on.

Watch for the guy/gal in the official 'Ebola Green' tee shirt... To see what fluorescent shade of green, it is the same at the ATS™ 'green' (coincidence?) when/if You're running 'blacked out' or if You have Your security in order You can Google™ 'Ebola Green Tee shirt'

Stay Hydrated....

Given that Ebola is rather a nasty way to die... I think we can be fairly certain that the line will go 'round the block, at least once.

It is definitely a scary thing. I just happened to glance at the local news paper today at work and noticed an article about an experimental vaccine for Ebola, and seeing your reply reminded me, so I looked it up and found a pretty good report of this effort. Reading about this disease and how it incubates undetected is pretty horrifying all by itself. And that can mean that someone could get on a plane come to the USA or anywhere.

I hope they can be a great success with this effort, and it sounds promising.

Yes, it is. I did a research paper on it way, way back in the day...and I quickly came to the conclusion were I to ever become symptomatic with Ebola...I'd probably eat a gun barrel.

That was, of course, some thirty years ago...I'm sure much has changed in that time...but, it's the stuff of nightmares. I'm afraid of few things, but these bugs are right at the top.

I read a bit more and see how there was an unfortunate incident where an ethologist in 1994 performed a necropsy on a chimpanzee from the Tai Forest, Cote d'Ivoire, accidentally infected herself during the necropsy? This was the last known strain of the virus?

Ebola sure is the stuff of nightmares like you said! It's a real life horror movie, so it is no wonder they are pushing the envelope on using everything they can against it's spread.

I remember friends talking about Ebola around 1981 which was 5 years or so after the first case I think, and it was quite shocking to everyone that this virus did what it did to people. Folks were freaking out even when talking about it even though it was far away, so to speak.
