The Australian government recommends for Australians to reconsider their need for travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC, because of a new string of Ebola virus spreading in the region. The said string of Ebola is different from the deadly virus that is widely spread in West African countries. For those Australians already in DRC, they should be aware that many African countries had banned travelers coming from heavily infected areas.
According to the World Health Organisation, or WHO, the virus in DRC was identified to have come from Zaire species, a string that could have evolved from the 1995 Ebola outbreak in Kikwit, DRC. The current string had come from a remote Boende district, Equateur province in the northwestern part of the DRC.
The string is inherent in the DRC. "The outbreak in DRC is a distinct and independent event, with no relationship to the outbreak in west Africa... the virus in the Boende district is definitely not derived from the variant currently circulating in west Africa," WHO said in a statement.
The government had also issued a "do not travel" advisory to the eastern and northeastern regions of the DRC, North and South Kivu Provinces and the Ituri district of Orientale Province due to high security threat and an ongoing armes conflict. Virunga National Park, a favourite among tourists, is located in this area. However, an intermittent armed conflict involving rebel group and the Congolese Army made the tourist spot dangerous.
Additionally, the government warned Kinshasa's main airport, Ndjili International Airport, and ferry terminal can close at short notice. Australia does not have an embassy or consulate in the DRC. Australians who wished to leave the country may seek help from the Canadian Embassy located in Kinshasa.
Meanwhile, WHO approved trials for Ebola vaccines formulated by Swissmedic. The trials will be made at the Lausanne University Hospital, or CHUV. WHO said the decision was made in its aim to release safe and effective Ebola treatment as soon as possible. The trial will be conducted on about 120 individuals in Lausanne. WHO said this is the latest in a series of trials that are happening in Mali, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Yup.
In my reading, I have discovered that the body expels 13 liters of fluid when the disease is going strong—per day—until a person dies.
If you replace all that fluid, the person might live. The New England Journal of Medicine described such a case, where the fluid was replaced and the patient lived.
I’m beginning to suspect that the high fatality rate of Ebola is not so much because the virus itself is so deadly, but because the healthcare systems in Africa are so inadequate.
Cholera kills within a day or two. But with fluid replacement, most people live.
>>>>>>“I think she’s an Obama operative herself.”
>>>Absolutely no doubt!
So what is the administrations angle on this, if your theory is correct? To force a test case into the courts so that a liberal judge can rule quarantines unconstitutional?
No way to rule quarantines unconstitutional any more than saying drunk driving laws are unconstitutional. That is not their end game.
These moves by the administration are Alensky tactics to ridicule those who do not accept the narrative put forth by the CDC that ebola is harmless. Their underlying fear is the voters will realize unchecked and unregulated immigration poses a very real health threat to American citizens.
Obama wants open borders, a world with no immigration laws. He knows the bast majority of the illegals here now will (and some already do) vote Dem. This is about control of our country.
Thanks for that well reasoned reply, regarding the Obama endgame on immigration.
Thanks for the ping!
