I have spent a little time compiling links to threads about the Ebola outbreak in the interest of having all the links in one thread for future reference.
Please add links to new threads and articles of interest as the situation develops.
Thank You all for you participation.
I should have pinged you too. Busy Saturday at my house, apologies to anyone that wasn’t pinged directly to that one. It’s a jaw dropper for sure.
I know why they are pushing the narrative. If Americans were truly informed, then they would demand the boarders be closed. That would slow down the destruction of America.
What does it cost to train one doctor?
The CDC has gone insane.
"Doctors and Nurses Risk Everything to Fight Ebola in West Africa"
Get a load of this and tell me if you feel 'comfortable' with this knowing how long it stays in 'certain fluids', human nature and people's ability to deny deny deny and fail to follow doctor's orders.
"What does help the mission are the success stories, the Ebola patients whose bodies manage to fight off the disease. Four days after the virus is no longer detectable in their bloodstream, they are allowed to go home."
See this clip from that thread —
CDC Changes Criteria for Ebola Transmission; admits being within 3 feet or in same room can cause infection
THIS WEEK the CDC changed their information about how Ebola can spread; they now admit being within 3 feet of an infected person or being in the same room with an infected person can allow the virus to infect someone else! They also admit a person who is infected, but not yet showing symptoms, is contagious!
Notably, this appears right after a Nigerian student coming to the US claims the direct contrary, that nobody should be afraid of catching in from someone in their college class.
This sounds like a recipie for disaster !
I believe that I have read that the Ebola virus can remain alive in male seminal fluids for up to 90 days post recovery. No ? "
Such a procedure would allow the contaigion to leap-frog past quarentene sites , and provide for further infection in the future.
Just think of two things...
Ebola...
and Ferguson Missouri.
It’s enough to scare anyone.
It sounds like the CDC / WHO may have already gone into "Public Relations" model
Already , we have expierienced medical personell contracting the disease and dropping ,.. either from the disease , or from exhaustion.
What are they going to do .. ?
This is no time to be 'penny-wise' when a whole continent is at risk !
Get a load of this and tell me if you feel 'comfortable' with this knowing how long it stays in 'certain fluids', human nature and people's ability to deny deny deny and fail to follow doctor's orders.
Nice story. I like the blue dresses they give the nursing students in Sierra Leone, very attractive.
It looks like the problem with recovered Ebola patients is that people remain afraid of them, even after they have been shown to be virus-free for 4 days and have a certificate.
The families look very close in those pictures; they do not strike me as the kind of people who would be flippant about instructions to not be intimate before the required wait period is over.
I wonder if someone is doing a more systematic study to determine the outside limits of virus viability in bodily fluids (mostly semen and breast milk; the virus also can survive in fluid inside the eye, but I don't see that as a route of transmission). It would certainly make sense to do the follow-up with these recovered patients, and so much can be learned.
“The families look very close in those pictures; they do not strike me as the kind of people who would be flippant about instructions to not be intimate before the required wait period is over.”
Looks are very often deceiving. You are essentially trusting the whole village to the sex drive of one person.
Read the Hot Zone. One man gave Marburg to every prostitute in a single village.
Don’t assume that men only have sex with their wives. They often have sex with themselves, other women and even other men.
Moreover, most of the people in those countries are illiterate. They also have little regard for Western medicine. Plus they now have certificates declaring them ‘cured’. So, if they’re indeed ‘cured’, why the need to abstain for 7+ weeks?
It’s a recipe for disaster.
Heartbreaking.
Small businessmen will be bankrupted even if they manage to avoid having this strike someone they know.
“Hundreds of African immigrants attempt daring daylight EU asylum bid by clambering over a razor wire fence into Spanish territory in northern Morocco”
Apropos of nothing...
“Ebola epidemic spreads to FIFTH West African country as case of deadly virus is reported in Senegal - but quarantine is lifted in slum area of Liberian capital”
I haven’t had a lot of time, and so have missed a lot of the threads, and this is a great thread to catch up on it all. Thanks again.
You’re welcome. I catch up on the latest here, on my busy days, too.

As the oil is shipped around the world, so is ebola.
