Well it would get us a step closer to reducing the worlds population by 75%
I’m so glad I live in a near quarantine now.
Ping.

Yeah, that is a very frightening thought. I’m pretty sure India is a lot more densely populated than West Africa. Yikes almighty!
And not far away from India, we have China — where they already have cities without any residents. Perhaps they will end up with more of those.
It would be horrible, but at least India has a population that can read, doctors and medicines, and no current civil war…so there’s reason to believe they’d stop it from spreading the way it is in Africa.
Not saying that India doesn’t have slums and some weird beliefs about healing….but they have a large educated population. Apparently, the airport workers are an exception. Doesn’t sound like the did enough to check for Ebola.
Went to see the movie, The One Hundred Foot Journey....
In the opening scene it shows a very crowded typical street in India....and I had the thought.....’Hope Ebola doesn’t strike here’
Still hope the authorities are on top of this.
Oh, take it to Mumbai. That’s not one large open sewer. No way the virus could get all loose there.
They should be quarantining anyone who was exposed to someone with symptoms.
Putting them in quarantine AFTER they show the symptoms is about useless.

Thanks for posting. Health/life BUMP!
Ebola, along with the ongoing Fukashima disaster, may cause ISIS soon to be downgraded to a mere annoyance.
But, but ... we are assured that the only way the disease can be contracted is by sharing a long ‘soul kiss’ with someone who is actually foaming at the mouth and calling for “Brains!”.
Of course, the ones providing these assurances also assured us that they can’t find their e-mail records & that they don’t have your e-mail, and that they won’t pay for illegal aliens’ sex change operations.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
India is one of the most crowded, and easily one of the filthiest places on the planet: public defecation is widespread, and human and animal corpses are routinely tossed into rivers.
Sounds like heaven if you're an Ebola virus.
I am so screwed.
Oh great a heavily populated 3rd world country getting Ebola would be really really bad
Muslim Indians?
