uh-huh, and about how many of the family members, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff die caring for malaria parasite victims.

Yes, millions of people in Africa have died because of the EPA’s banning of DDT, the Left’s hysterical response to Rachel Carson’s book, “The Silent Spring.” Richard Nixon bears responsibility for creating this agency, a curse on a free country.

Is malaria contagious? What’s your point?

And it is brought into this country left and right but we have ways to treat it without overwhelming our healthcare system. You are talking globally with next to no treatment. Wait'll the big E takes hold in a very populated city and they become overwhelmed.

I read on slashdot (website) today that some "professionals" were trying to trace the genome back to where this new strain had started; they traced it back to 2004. Before the paper was published, five are now dead of Ebola even though they were taking precautions.

What is the mortality rate for malaria?

In 2012 there were 207 million cases, with 627k deaths. A big number, but far less than 60-80% with Ebola.

That is the scary part.
