Ebola has spread across the globe: ...officials try to trace 30,000 linked to death of US victim
Daily Mail UK ^ | 7/29/14 | Lizzy Parrie

Fears of a global Ebola pandemic are 'justified' an expert has said as Nigerian health officials try to trace 30,000 people at risk of contracting the deadly disease following the death of Patrick Sawyer.

The U.S. citizen boarded a flight in Liberia carrying the disease to Nigeria, potentially infecting 'anyone on the same plane'.

It comes as Nigerian actor Jim Iyke sparked outrage, posting a picture of himself wearing an Ebola mask while sitting in a first class airport lounge as he fled Liberia.

The 'Nollywood' star posted a message on his Instagram page saying he had cut short a business trip to Monrovia in Liberia - where at least 600 people have already died from the disease.

The death toll for this, the worst outbreak recorded since the Ebola virus was discovered in 1976, stands at 672, while more than 1,200 people have been infected.

And here I expected to die in the next few years as a result of a government bullet. Now it may be Ebola instead.

Fears over the ability to contain the spread of Ebola were augmented last night as it emerged the body of a young stowaway was found hidden in on a U.S. military plane.

The Pentagon said the young boy, believed to be of African origin, was found near the wheel of a cargo plane which landed in Germany.

The plane was on a routine mission in Africa, and had made stops in Senegal, Mali, Chad, Tunisia and the Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily before arriving at Ramstein.

It is thought the boy climbed aboard in Mali, which borders Guinea - where the current Ebola outbreak originated at the end of last year.

Are N95 masks available in regular stores (eg Walmart) or do you need to get them through pharmacies.

How about declaring them economic refugees and give them jobs as border guards?

How about WH interns, and congressional aides?

"congressional aides?"

I would worry that would spread AIDS.

All kinds of places — usually Lowes and any hardware/paint store also.

Fit and handling is just as important as the mask. Don't ever touch the inside when in contaminated conditions.

Need eyewear, too.

Helping people is one thing...but when you spread death around the globe because of your self imposed moral obligation to help....

thanks again. I'll be following the threads on Ebola closely for the time being. It breaks out, I am going underground.

Sure glad I retired in June.

Ok, sorry. I vaguely remember reading a text by David Horowitz about them not shutting down bathhouses, but that article was about San Francisco.

I would like to die a peaceful death, sound asleep, hopefully during a good dream.
Not screaming and kicking like the passengers in his car.
Ebola. It’s some sort of Kwaanza thing, ain’t it?

"Takes 5 minutes of boiling to kill it.
Disinfectants do also work.<
A few as 1 organism can result in an infection.

What I discern from all of this is that Africa is filthy place and the people there live in filth and do nothing about it.

Are they planning on sending out emails to everyone promising they will give you $1 million USD if you will only respond to the attached Ebola survey card?

As opposed to Newark, Detroit, Jersey?

Africa is a big place.

Like the Medieval war tactic of throwing diseased carcasses into a walled city, imagine what terrorists could do with an infected corpse, or parts thereof (liquid therefrom).

Anything is possible .... I’m sure someone somewhere will be ripping people off with a scam that’s Ebola-related.

Does anyone here know if ebola survives extremely cold temperatures? outbreaks seem to occur in very warm climates. could there be a way to create a very cold environment to help slow down transmission? I have not heard of outbreaks happening in cold places - has anyone else?

Tekmira might prove to be an outstanding investment.

http://investor.tekmirapharm.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=817298

About their work: http://investor.tekmirapharm.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=813835

But, Tekmira’s Ebola Drug Trial placed on hold by FDA earlier this month: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-07-03/tekmira-ebola-drug-trial-placed-on-hold-by-u-s-fda.html

However, in light of current Ebola news, a physician is urging FDA to fast track approval of Tekmira’s drug: http://www.theglobaldispatch.com/nc-physician-petitions-fda-to-fast-track-tekmiras-ebola-drug-13384/
