Though officials at the World Health Organization are feverishly working to stop the spread of the Ebola virus in what is now seven African nations, their efforts may be for naught. In Guinea, a hot spot for the deadly contagion, government health officials have said that the outbreak is nearly under control. Yet, Reuters reports that the government planned to stop publicly releasing the death toll to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
But panic may be in order.
Despite the best efforts of emergency health workers it appears that virus may have crossed out of Africa into Europe.

Preppers’ PING!!
I don’t think a fuel-air bomb will do the trick. Now, a pony nuke.....
The LIBs and one-worlders teach us that we are one big, hugging, loving world. Everyone is the same and wonderful. Their ignorant programs create this unfettered mobility. I hope ebola finds them.
Before long Ebola will be climbing over the fences in the North African Spanish enclaves and from there migrate to Europe.
Stupid Europeans! Almost as stupid and as evil as the anti-American American ruling class & Obama regime operatives.
And no Charlton Heston to develop the antidote.
Yet Another Catastrophe.
Every day the propaganda is the same.
One big scary thing or another.
Watch the procedures they use and you might find some hints for surviving Bio warfare.
I am so screwed.
The same people who created policies to contain AIDS are working to contain this. Good Luck!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
The latest on many diseases, including ebola, can be found here. Updates frequently:
What’s the big deal, Kart? If there is a REAL outbreak, then everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is confined to home for at least a month. So those people with food and water (especially water) on hand for 30 days or so will be JUST FINE.
Now, I would REALLY HOPE that ALL FREEPERS have a way to provide for their water (and food, if not overweight) for at least 30 days. If not, they deserve what they get.
Wouldn’t want to hurt any Progressive feelings by instituting a QUARANTINE and shooting violators.
Ebola is always going to be self-limiting — the problem with a virus that kills quickly is that it loses vectors too quickly to spread it .....

“Obamacare, now shovel ready!)
The initial Ebola outbreak in Guinea is believed to have started when hunters came in contact with infected fruit bats. The Ebola virus is spread between humans through direct contact. Once infected, it can take up to 21 days for symptoms to appear, which include high fever, headaches, and fatigue. At that point, the infected person is contagious.
Direct contact is ambiguous. A disease in which you have to get someone's bodily fluids into your bodily fluids is not easy to catch. So, either this is not Ebola, or Ebola has changed. If Ebola is now easy to transmit, bad bad news.
Why? You’re better prepared for a flesh-eating monster invasion than anyone else I know.
