I’m being real when I say this: some of this had to have been sexually transmitted. There simply is no other way. However, I’m not convinced that it was airborne because if it was airborne like say the flu then man it would have been spread a hell of lot further than fucking 6,00 people on 7 different country. We would have been talking in the millions.
However, I also wonder if some of this was actually spread by shaking hands. Somebody sneezes on their hands or have sweaty fucking palms and you shake their hands. Well there you have it.
That Liberian guy went through two connecting flights. One somewhere in the EU and another in DC before landing in Dallas. His country is going to prosecute him for lying about his contact with Ebola patients. Either he didn’t know how Ebola was spread or he intended to get others infected.
Yeah but the patient in DC was somebody who also traveled to Nigeria during the middle of the outbreak there. So if you are suggesting that he got this from the Dallas patient then we need to consider that as well.
But like you said, he was lying through his teeth about his contact with ebola patients and if he lives then he will be prosecuted.
Did the Nigerian patient lie too? The CDC can only do so much within their jurisdiction for disease monitoring and surveillance. They can’t directly monitor what’s going on in other countries. The blame has to go on those who lie about their contact with Ebola patients and sadly on those countries who don’t have a developed healthcare system to control the disease.
Personally I want to hear one person’s opinion on this subject: Dr. Don Francis. He helped stomp out the initial Ebola outbreak in 1976 and of course he helped fight the initial fight on the AIDS epidemic. Plus he also hates the government with a passion so I want to hear what he has to say because I am sure he won’t give me government spin.
Edit: I found a lecture he gave about the outbreak right here if anybody wants to read it.
They tell us not to panic…more of the story unfolds that shows some real negligence on the behalf of the government to protect of citizens with little more effort than a questionnaire to Americans coming from Ebola hotspots boarding planes…they tell us not to panic again.
I mean…I’m just really annoyed. I’ll just be sure to wash my hands frequently at work. I’m already an introvert. Fuck everybody.
The US will be hit the hardest by a pandemic because so many of the people here are so fucking retarded that carriers they will attempt to flee and infect multiple people in the process. I can see it now. With the medical advances that this country has people infected will still flee and become moving viral loads. Whatever.
ebola can only be transferred via fluids. they already cured two people of it, so the guy in dallas will be fine as well. they basically got this on lockdown not worried. the reason it spreads in africa is because they have shit infrastructure and supplies, and idiots raid quarantine areas.
its not really spreading in west africa, the idiots are still eating fucking monkies and raccoons n shit so they actually creating more of the virus than spreading it around.
It’s kind of hard to eat if you don’t hunt in alot of those dirt poor countries and they have to find fucking what is most abundant which is usually bushmeat.
Let’s put it this way: There is a reason why Nigeria doesn’t spawn the outbreak and only contract it; it’s a modern global economy where food is plentiful in supermarkets. It was also one of the reasons why it was able to stamp it in their country and why it is still raging in Liberia and Guinea.

The European Union’s taste for West African seafood may be causing more Africans to kill wild animals for food—including lions, leopards, and hippopotamuses—a new study suggests.
Researchers say dwindling fish stocks due to trawling by foreign fishing fleets is a key cause of the increase in the “bush meat” trade in Ghana.
You can’t “cure” it. You just pray you survive the virus’ symptoms until it runs it’s course.
Also: South Africa has banned travelers from the three Ebola-hit West African nations, a government spokesman said on Thursday, after other countries adopted similar measures to prevent the deadly virus from breaching their borders. And other African countries have restrictions on their borders as well.
The White House said Wednesday it will not impose travel restrictions or introduce new airport screenings to prevent additional cases of Ebola from entering the United States. They stated the present methodologies they have in place are sufficient.
Whut…da fuq. At this point, I think it’s safe to say that anything that occurs later is deliberate. Those in power refuse to act to protect us. OTHER countries are…but not the US.
This is actually a legit massive problem in Europe right now, especially the UK. Europe buys up African countries economic exclusive waters and fishes the fuck out of them because of the bullshit quotas put on European waters, a great example of why this is a bad thing is the Somali pirates. Guys cant even fish their shores to feed their families so they go bandit style.
annnnd this is exactly what I was thinking right away would happen. America is fucking stupid. We would be the LAST country on earth to do the logical thing in such a situation…most likely in hopes of being “politically correct” and trying not to offend certain groups…'cause god forbid someone be made to feel all uncomfrotable for 5 goddamn minutes in life…as opposed to giving a half a shit about trying to survive.
