Time to close borders.
there is no way that he could not have spread it to anyone else while he was not in isolation.Well yes, yes there is.

Texas fighting ebola:

Spoke to my doctor friend, he said it's not impossible for Ebola to spread through the air as well. You know.. drops of liquid.
But for example he also told me 20 seconds of direct sunlight will kill it, so it's not THAT able to survive outside the body. But also.. who needs panic..
I think we can all agree that nuking the whole of Africa is the only reasonable thing to do now.
Go to Madagascar.
Virus like Ebola can't reach Madagascar. Have you ever played Pandemic 2?

Time to give Texas back to Mexico.
It's in Madrid now.
Ebola is to weak.
What we need is a virus that eliminates half of the worlds population.
its too crowded right now.

anyone knows how thef first patient got ebola?
I occasionally screen people for clinical treatment. Last week, these guys come in with cold symptoms. One of them says 'I think I have ebola' and the others start demanding masks. Good god, people, educate yourselves.
so chill out(for now).

TBH the slow, painful deaths are more terrifying than any movie depiction
Also, lol at recent CDC remarks. "Airborne Ebola possible but unlikely" Viruses mutate and adapt, no matter how much the 'murican retards at the CDC want to say otherwise

Also, lol at recent CDC remarks. "Airborne Ebola possible but unlikely" Viruses mutate and adapt, no matter how much the 'murican retards at the CDC want to say otherwise. This is a country that deploys 4000 soldiers to "combat Ebola". Can't wait until they come back after direct exposure.
Yes, virus mutate, evolve and adapt but there is no recorded case where a previously non-airborne deadly virus like Ebola evolved into airborne virus. If that happens, that would be the first time in history. This is very similar to black hole scare when Cern accelerator started working. If it was that easy to create a black hole with such small amount of energy, earth would be sucked into a black hole billions of years ago. Same goes for viruses, they adapt but they don't adapt that fast and so drastic to wipe out every animal on planet earth.
Actually wiping out every animal on planet earth would be a horrible trait for any virus because the virus would die by a lack of hosts.
The thing that needs to be understood is that death and other unpleasant symptoms caused by viruses are usually strategies to transit from one host to another, or just side-effects of one of these strategies. For instance, treating ebola patients requires extreme care precisely because ebola "targets" people taking care of the sick by transmitting through contact and fluids. There are much "better" viruses around that infect people and transmit to other people without killing them, which is a much better way to survive for the virus. Deadly viruses tend to disappear both because dead people do not spread the virus and the human potential hosts avoid the virus much more fiercely, fighting it with quarantine and medicine.
You sound like creationist (everything is finely tuned and calculated, everything has a purpose blah blah). Viruses aren't intelligent. What's the point of discussing their means of survival? You can't apply strategies to viruses, that is nonsense. It's a mechanism that evolved in a certain way, under certain circumstances and which gives an impression that virus wants to stay alive. But it doesn't, it's not intelligent to have such desire. It's like advanced computer program, nothing more.
I don't think this is doomsday, but I don't see this ending very soon either. Remember the trend has to turn from exponentially rising numbers of infected (now) to decreasing numbers. It's a big ship to turn, especially if it hits other areas of the globe densely populated with bad hygiene, medical care and education. (India..)
This. Us living in the western world have more or less nothing to worry about compared to regions such as India, China and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. The only factor of risk here is that we have more chances to have a few people catching the virus due to the fact that the huge majority of foreign doctors flying to help in Africa come from western countries.
My guess is that it is in fact more contagious than what is being generally told. It can explain why so many healthcare workers are catching it for example. Like this norwegian doctor.. I bet she was extremely cautious, still down with Ebola.
Damnit Africa! First you give us AIDs and now this?
In USA? There are couple cases, just one death. He wasn't American.
at some point, there were a couple cases with just one death in africa
mfw new ebola case in frisco, the suburb I live in
The discription text:
"Once we landed in Punta Cana we were told by the flight attendants that there was a situation and that a passenger may have been in Africa and had Ebola. She was certain it was a hoax but they did not take any chances and had a full hazmat crew board the plane and take the passenger off. It was later confirmed that the passenger was never in Africa and after 2hrs we were finally able to get off the plane."
I always thought they check all passengers data before they are allowed to board a plane.
such fail
edit: just read in a newpage the passenger claimed to have ebola ("I have Ebola, you are all screwed"). Obviously that joke was not funny to everybody.
I simply cannot understand how the Texas hospital managed to fail so hard. Afaik this is the 2nd case worldwide where healthworkers catch it in developed countries. This simply should not happen.
That hospital is known amongst Dallas residents to be one of the shittiest in the metroplex. My grandmother had surgery there last year, and she got an infection in her stomach because one of the surgeons used an unclean tool :rolleyes:
But you could be on to something, I also think its more contagious than the media has us believe
Either its two freak accidents, OR, much more likely: Ebola is very, very contagious, which is bad news for the whole world. It might show to be impossible to contain.
Metro bus driver quarantined after passenger yells 'I have Ebola!'Well you could easily come in contact with saliva or blood from this guy if you beat the shit out of him. And well, you never no, perhaps he really has ebola...
Surprised nobody beat the crap out of this troll

Stop freaking out people, most news blasts and radio just makes things seem like it's bad when it's not.
If Faux Noose tells me to chill out I'm going to do the exact opposite
To be fair Shep Smith is the "token liberal" of Fox News, every other program on the channel is telling people to shit themselves over it
A middle ground is certainly needed. "Wash your hands" or "FUCK WERE GONNA DIE" aren't the best of options
Saying you have ebola in public places and going "im just kidding.." while hazmat suited federal agents haul you to quarantine like the guy on an airplane recently is my favorite option
The virus can spread even in clear air.But exposed in sunlight for 2 sec will kill it too.I guess its good they help Africa and shit.I think it's better that people don't engage in uncivilised places for the reason that these guys eat bats and other animals which have the weirdest viruses and when the 'let-me-fix-your-health' guys go there,they transmit and spread the virus coz they have no idea it was so easy to,and they fuck up whole Africa all over again and put whole world into an alert.If you are going to let them live how they like,better don't go there see how they are doing either..

Health workers are used to being around nasty diseases every day. I don't get it.
There is something in Greek water supply that makes girls exceptionally hot and blokes downright retarded.How you knew =o

Do you get quarantined in the USA for ordering this?
