Ebola Outbreak
- Thread starter BlueBearBoots

BlueBearBoots said:dobobobo said:BlueBearBoots said:Absolutely shocking reports on SN. There always seems to be something that can wipe out large numbers of the population, the plague, smallpox etc etc. we get a disease under control, develop vaccines then another crops up. Is it natures way of some sort of population control?
Post a thread with a fucking stupid title means you don't get a serious response from me.
All I will say is in regards to the bit on bold. It's not nature controlling population (but I aint dissing your good question), but more life competing with each other which in turn plays a part in driving evolution.
EDIT: My bad, just done a Google search on 'Ebola Outbreak' and saw that the World Health Organisation were behind the talks and not some Rupert Murdoch scheme. I'll shut up now and go back to being ill with laryngitis and leave the thread alone for people well and won't kick off before double checking.
Hope you're feeling better :)
My illness is still hanging on but I've gone beyond the point of being a **** for not checking details and kicking off for no good reason!
Thank you for your kind comment.

Maybe the US anouncing new tougher security checks to all flights US bound at international airports is a smoke screen and they are actually really trying to prevent the virus getting in to the US, could be a new mutant strain that transmits easier. I like to daydream up conspiracies when I'm bored but you never know

That is way too smart for the US and UK.
My view is the holiday season is about to kick in and so they are cock waving.

No conspiracy here mate, just plain old eugenics by the NWO :-)Wio Gumflapdinand said:Maybe the US anouncing new tougher security checks to all flights US bound at international airports is a smoke screen and they are actually really trying to prevent the virus getting in to the US, could be a new mutant strain that transmits easier.

Its not ebola everyone needs to worry about, ebola outbreaks are always localised, always start where monkeys exist alongside humans, and tends to disappear as quickly as it came. Nobody really knows why.
No, it will be new flu strain that will eventually do a good few of us in. Within the last century, right after WW1, the H1N1 flu pandemic killed approx 5% of the world population. In current numbers, that would equate to 176 million people, which for comparison is slightly more than half the population of the USA.
If such a pandemic was to happen now, Western Europe would probably get off reasonably lightly because of good access to medical care and good availability of medicines, but areas of Africa, Asia, South America and Australasia where living standards are very poor, those areas would take a hiding. The pandemic of 1918 reached as far as the Pacific Islands.
Anyway, I'm just off to Harry Ramsdens for me tea :-)

It's carried by fruit bats not monkeys.
We are talking about the developing world now, not the third world. More frequent and rapid movement of population. It's a new environment for the virus so to still consider it localised is folly.
Attended a seminar on contagion outbreaks, Green monkey disease seemed to be the 'big one',
The suspected patient to be transported by special ambulance, with backup and police escort to an isolation hospital, the ambulance to then be incinerated. If my fading memory is right, Ebola is a close relative. Cant remember the difference between ''infectious'' and ''contagious'', sure there is one

Monkeys as well.
Spot on with the rest.
