The cleansing of all bodily orifices of dead Ebola victims by relatives of the same gender is a big factor in the uncontrollable spread of this deadly disease in West Africa. Yet our corrupt media refuse to fully vet this principle cause of contagion thereby allowing silence to spread the hemorrhagic disease. Ancient burial traditions, so deeply rooted in the native culture that government authorities are unable to bridge the gap of distrust, really are big factors because healthy relatives are required to put their hands into the Ebola bodies, still warm, just after death. And commonly known is the fact that a just deceased body, still holding warmth as life’s last vestige, is highly contagious!
“In many areas of West Africa, ritual cleansing of the corpse prior to burial is a sacred/sacrosanct tradition,” says Dr. James Childs, Yale zoonotic specialist. (1) “Irrespective of the risk posed to family members, it is difficult for authorities and public health officials to intercede on established cultural customs.” Even the politically correct WASHINGTON POST is reporting that a still warm body right after death is highly infectious. (2)
Family’s cultural practices and religious beliefs require that a family member “of the same gender should WASH the body” before the family and villagers can bury their dead. Bleeding from bodily orifices is a characteristic of Ebola; however, the relatives continue to follow ancient prerogatives that conform to centuries old cultural imperatives. Naturally, you can deduce how such customs contribute to the spread of this pandemic, now estimated to be claiming at least 10,000 lives each month in certain West African regions.
What needs to be noted here is the fact that President Obama has ordered US Army line troops, on alert for instant call up, into these deadly regions. Is this being done...

7th Century ignorance = Islam.
no, not ignorance.
evil. or bad ideas. definitely not merely ignorance.
10,000 per month? I thought the death toll was about 4,500 total.
“7th Century ignorance = Islam.”
Oh. I thought the story was about the the White Hut’s response.
“A bit ‘o edu-ma-cation might be helpful here.”. . .
This is good article on sharia and ghusl (Islamic ritual of washing the dead body)

I was wondering the same thing.
Someone’s got their numbers wrong.
Or someone didn’t get the memo.
Things got to change! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Do not vote for anyone in the Democrat Party— With Harry Reid Out—we can move to impeach Obama!
Maybe we should spread this sickness to ISIS?
That is the official death toll. The estimated actual number is 2.5 to 4 times as large as the official number. CDC/WHO experts expect the number to double in the next 21-28 days, which would bring the actual death toll up by 10,000 to 18,000 in the next month. The bottom line: as you said, the exact words used were not correct, but the truth for the next month is likely to be close to (or perhaps even worse than) what they wrote.
Sounds like a gamma decontamination setup would be a good thing to have.
I wonder if gamma radiation would rapidly destroy all the Ebola virus in a corpse? Just run the body through a gamma box and then give it to the relatives for burial.
I know that you can sterilize meat, such as chicken, using a C-60 gamma source.
