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.

It’s almost like they WANT it to get out in the wild in this country.

subject: A potential timeline to watch:

Nigeria: Weekend of August 23: Evidence of tertiary cases comes to light as a result of odd happenings at hospitals in Nigeria.

Liberia: September 1 - Labor Day weekend: Evidence of secondary cases related to the dispersal of patients and the to looting of mattresses, etc., from the isolation center in West Point, Monrovia.

Mid-September Evidence of tertiary cases in West Point, Monrovia.

Once cases are reported from around Nigeria (because the lid cannot be kept on media reports about them any longer), the wealthy and expats will begin to leave Nigeria in earnest, some of them taking the virus with them.

I worry about the MCF and other facilities becoming overwhelmed, at some point in all this, to the point that HQ makes the decision to pull its people out due to safety concerns.

This virus will act the same way as it has acted so far, wherever it touches down in a clinic or hospital. In Nigeria medical workers have been reassured that the virus has been effectively contained in Lagos. It won't take much to set off other clusters in medical personnel who believe those reassurances.

In Liberia and Sierra Leone, medical facilities still do not have sufficient protective equipment for health care workers. If the New Ebola virus gets a foothold in West Point, there simply will not be enough workers or gloves. New Ebola was never supposed to get into a place like West Point, was never supposed to be able to gain a foothold in such a messy urban setting. It wasn't supposed to be possible, it wasn't supposed to happen.

That's the thing about this virus. Quite a lot is happening with New Ebola that was never supposed to happen. That should prove cautionary.

I’m almost over my reluctance to ascribe events to some global conspiracy, but I have donned my stainless steel mesh colander before posting.

Sarcatic? I no longer know.

Gosh, maybe because the world elites think there are way too many Africans (and the rest of us besides) and this ebola thing looks to fix that problem?

New Ebola was never supposed to get into a place like West Point, was never supposed to be able to gain a foothold in such a messy urban setting.

As I have said all along, the idea that it cannot survive in an urban setting is contraindicated by common sense. There are far more common contact surfaces and opportunities for unintended personal contact in an urban setting than there are in rural areas. That would increase the probability of spreading the disease, not diminish it.

Supposedly 5 NEW suspected cases. The 3 from yesterday tested negative (so far, there have been false positives initially with this outbreak and testing).

Eggsactly. The real potential is vastly greater in dense urban populations, poor or not.

On another note, read the comments to:

I’ve heard a pastor say that if you think there are some sins that cannot be forgiven, then you don’t really believe in forgiveness.

Regarding the high rate of false negatives with this strain of Ebola:

Is it possible that one of the reasons could be testing too early before the virus has had a chance to propagate?

I’m thinking about the 600+ being quaranteed in the Berlin social services building, and of course other instances.

My posting that goes more to the inherent distrust of the government, government officials and hospitals that exists in Liberia.

Why the people are loathe to leave their relatives alone in the care of hospitals.

Apparently during the civil war, hospitals were more abbatoirs than places of healing. Hence the fear of them by the populace.
