another ebola “bring out yer dead” ping
The white devil’s ambulance killed her.
Ebola: 90% mortality.
The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days.
People are infectious as long as their blood and secretions contain the virus. Ebola virus was isolated from semen 61 days after onset of illness in a man who was infected in a laboratory. So while it is of most concern while it is a pulmonary disease, it can reemerge long after.
From there, it exists in a reservoir in fruit bat colonies, its most common animal vector.
Sierra Leone
Someone is experimenting. Trying to mutate the virus into
an airborne pathogen. But then again Sierra Leone is a very
filthy and nasty place. Sorta like Central America only
with more flies.
I know! Let’s bring them to America! We need more problems!
Good grief! That country’s population may well be wiped out soon with this sort of superstitious behavior. I wonder what will become of the police and the health care workers who dealt with this woman.
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...

I have an idea for a new business. I believe I can get a jump on unfolding events. I will start building Dead Carts. I’ll make a pile.
