This notion that it's a hoax is the hoax and, yeah, I'm gonna call it out.

Washington was considered ground zero for COVID-19 in the U.S., and now 23 travelers from the state are being monitored for another deadly contagious virus: Ebola. Add 4 in Oregon and 40 in Ohio!
The travelers recently returned from the West African countries of Guinea and the Democratic Republic of Congo — where there are outbreaks of the deadly virus — according to a news release from the state’s Department of Health.
The risk of Ebola coming to the United States remains “extremely low,” according to a news release last month from the Centers from Disease Control and Prevention.
Likewise, people in Washington are considered “low risk” for getting the virus, the state health department says.

Bombshell The news comes just days after scientists said that the world’s latest Ebola virus outbreak may have been caused by a person who was infected over seven years ago.
Top World Health Organization boss Mike Ryan said the “scary” new findings suggested the infection could remain for years and can be transmitted through sex.
Scientists compared the genetic sequence of the most recent virus with one from seven years ago – and found they were remarkably similar.
The bombshell findings mean the virus did not transmit from animals to humans as was previously thought, and were in fact hidden in a “persistently infected survivor” of the 2013-16 epidemic.
Ebola cases are rare in the United States The last confirmed cases in the U.S. came during the 2014-16 epidemic in Africa, when 11 people were treated for the deadly virus in the states. Most of the cases involved people who had contracted the virus outside the U.S., but in 2014 two nurses were infected while caring for an Ebola patient from Liberia in a Dallas hospital.
The man died, but the nurses recovered.
Meanwhile in Africa At least 18 Ebola cases and nine deaths have been reported amid a resurgence of the deadly virus in Guinea in West Africa.
The disease, first discovered along the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1976, has killed thousands of people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
But WHO officials said it is too early to draw conclusions about the cause of the outbreak – and further testing would be needed.
Scientists have long known that Ebola can persist in fluids such as semen, but it is highly unusual for a virus to lie undetected for so long.
Dr Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Georgetown Center for Global Health Science and Security, said on Twitter: “Based on the known mutation rate of (Ebola virus), we’d expect viruses that have been replicating for five to seven years, even at low levels, to have many more mutations.”
ebola ... guess we’re going to have 730 days to slow the spread, and nobody’s allowed out of the house except with diapers.
When did Dr. Rasmussen tweet that about ebola? Still looking for tweet.
She’s a 1619 groupie, which is disappointing.
That dog don’t hunt. There were 479,000 excess deaths in 2020. Where did they come from?
How many died from H191 in 2009 and 2010?
“We have no idea who is making decisions for this country. It does not seem to be Biden. He is just a puppet.”
It is soooooo scary isn’t it?
I hate to.say it, but the only way the truth will ever possibly be known is if we have some kind of revolution/reformation or some type of reset of the republic.

What's wrong with this picture?

And sometimes not even a complete wipe and reinstalled OS works - we’re in that situation ...
NOTHING is wrong with this picture EVERYONE who does not expect the Dems to NOW keep the nation in a constant state of fear for control should be ashamed of themselves OF COURSE this was coming, and unfortunately the sheep will fall in line!!!
Sorry, but a good outbreak of anything really bad in D.C. (specifically congress) would not be considered a bad thing by the vast majority of us.
“...Covid scam playin’ out, gotta push a new one....”
That is what one would call a” BINGO!!!!
Yeah, COVID is fading, the lockdowns are being eased.
The left has got to have a new catastrophe to keep us in subjugation over.
I wasn’t concerned until I got to where the CDC said the risk was low.
Why does that matter in 2021?
because they never event counted but you see it as a big pissing contest
To quote Jackie Gleason, “And away we go”!
I could see Obama having this released on us.
This notion that it's a hoax is the hoax and, yeah, I'm gonna call it out.
Did Biden lift int’l travel restrictions? How’d these folks get here?
Didn’t Fauci say that a covid outbreak in the US was unlikely?
At least it’s not zombies
