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.
Health/life BUMP! Thanks to all posters, linkers, researchers.
Now we wait to see if those who cared for or came into contact with him stay healthy.
Prayers up for his soul and those who cared for him.
Let's try that hot link again...
Guess that serum isn’t so magical after all.
Wonder when they’re going to try the antiviral drug that’s already in Phase III clinical trials as an anti-flu drug?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24583123
Japan has a stockpile of this particular drug already in the event of a ‘weird’ variant of influenza. South Korea has already indicated they will be obtaining this drug in the event Ebola gets a toehold there.
Why do we still hear nothing about this drug in our media?
This article discusses the Tekmira treatment and ALSO discusses the Toyama anti-viral compound, Favipiravir, that has received no mention in our US media.

Good picture of Obama on that one.
This was written before we gave our last doses of ZMapp to Liberia, but after Obama had nixed the idea altogether, initially.
If that’s a picture of the suspected ebola patients I’m not inspired by Turkey’s ability to handle this as well. Looks like just N95 masks for everyone.

Check out how they ‘tested’ him for EVD. That little laser dot thingie thermometer. If this is how they are ‘verifying’ negative infection in the 3rd world, we’re screwed.
