Ebola Outbreak

[BlueBearBoots]

The thing that worries me is that us as Europeans have never in our history been exposed to this disease, could it be that we will be more susceptible to it, like when Europeans arrived in the Americas and nearly wiped out all indigenous people by spreading the common cold. Maybe infection and mortality rates in Africa is mild compared to what's yet to come

wondered about that myself

A more learned colleague of mine with knowledge in the scientific has advised that as a disease becomes more widespread and contagious it becomes less potent for some reason...don't ask me...I have not got a scooby

Because it's already killed the more susceptible. Like a lot of this stuff (Spanish flu, bubonic plague) it stops killing because it has no one left to kill.

Booked a holiday for January a couple of months back to go to Sharm, should I be worried?

Not in terms of Ebola, possibly in terms of being beheaded.

The having the hand you thieved with being lopped off is quite entertaining as well
