At this moment, we are seeing the worst outbreak of ebolavirus in known history, affecting several states of the continent of Africa--possibly even more, with projections by the CDC estimated at roughly 1.3 million cases by end-January 2015 (or deaths?).
Looking at this in a purely biological standpoint, not one of dangerous military applications: when there is an outbreak of any infectious disease, the environment of the area of incidence is closely examined: air, water, soil, plants, insects, fish (and sea mammals), and domestic and wild animals and creatures. What I find is that the media is wholly in part not examining and reporting on, is what exactly are the populations of these affected African areas consuming as food. It is called "bush meat", which is the flesh and other bodily organs of namely bats and monkeys. Understanding, that the basically millions of people living in many areas of Africa live in extremely squalid conditions and abject poverty--which is a definite contributing factor in infectious disease spread, the spearheading factor could very well be that their consumption of bush meat because they have little else to eat causes both the initial infection and initial spread of ebolavirus and its now probable several mutations. And, of course, once one individual presents with the fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, progressing to the bleeding out and death, the rapid spread of that particular strain hits.
Specifically, there are only these ways to stop the spread of any strain of Ebola:
1.) Education--specifically about their consumption of bush meat, to inspire enough fear into the populace-- aside from that they are already experiencing with witnessing thousands dying of ebolavirus, to cause them to halt all hunting and ingestion of bush meat. To further render this action, all countries engaged in battling the outbreak will provide adequate food. [Note: the populaces are killing aid workers, so this many not even be efforted.]
2.) Treatment and vaccine initiative: It has already been estimated that even though a possible treatment works, it will not be ready for mass distribution in adequate supplies for more than five months, and a vaccine is not going to be available to any general populace for years (available meaning, only certain individuals will qualify to receive it). That being said, we cannot realistically lean on such premise as a definite factor in containment.
3.) Seal all known affected African states borders; no air, sea or land travel, period.
4.) Because the unbelievably millions of Africans within the areas of the ebolavirus outbreaks are very likely either freshly infected (21-day incubation) or dying of this pestilence, the populations will have to be completely wiped out. This is an indeed horrific stance, and I believe the Lord God in His ultimate compassion would not see this as the right action and prevent it--but to keep the entire continent of Africa and indeed the entire world from being infected, this is very likely on the minds of the world's military at this very moment. Intense heat, via the use of either a limited-yield tactical nuclear weapon, or other ordinance that would provide enough heat to completely burn up the affected areas.
5.) A world-wide day of grief, and indeed many more days to come, for the millions lost in the ultimate attack on ebolavirus.
6.) Intense monitoring of the targeted areas (aftermath). Unfortunately--sounding as if I am promoting a world-government system--monitoring of the world's populace to immediately deal with anyone showing physical and tests/bloodwork signs of ebolavirus infection. By then, there will be adequate supplies of treatment and there will already be efforts on the part of the governing bodies of the world to vaccinate their populaces.
7.) Lord God, forgive our nations should they choose to implement Item 4. Protect us, and help us to save all these millions of people with a treatment and cure, as I truly believe it is Your will.
Yeah, I bet doctors are in short supply considering they might get their throats slit for their trouble if they go over there.
Close Africa.
Two words. Easy.
Yes, and also not very factual. The evidence suggests that millions are not freshly infected. If you believe that is the case, then I will put $50 on the opposite. You can send me the $50 in 21 days and I will donate it to some worthwhile charity fighting the epidemic.
Nuke them from orbit it the only way
The keyan currently infesting the white hut would rather have millions of Americans die than to isolate his bros in Africa.
What an astonishingly evil proposition.
Let's not remind people what the mutation was that caused such total decontamination of that facility. Nice how they leave that info out.
good start is not putting known infected on planes to other countries.
The Army came in, disposed of the animals, and disinfected the house.
There sure is a lot of ignorance in that post.
“”Then, when USAMRIID (The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases), was conducting experiments with monkeys in Reston, Virginia, the entire group of primates had to be destroyed and the facility decontaminated and torn down—a mutation had occurred, which was called “Ebola Reston”.””
False.
“”1.) Education-””—” [Note: the populaces are killing aid workers, so this many not even be efforted.]”
The military is hoping to educate 500 aid workers per week.
“”3.) Seal all known affected African states borders; no air, sea or land travel, period.””
Really? Just put entire nations and economies into total quarantine?
“”4.) Because the unbelievably millions of Africans within the areas of the ebolavirus outbreaks are very likely either freshly infected (21-day incubation) or dying of this pestilence, the populations will have to be completely wiped out.”” “with nuclear weapons”
So you are TOTALLY INSANE AND A BUFFOON PSYCHO.
It just continues with you crazy man rantings.
What a nut case.
This is from one of your past posts:
**”As a closing note: I believe there are inter-dimensional, atmospheric beings with incredible physical and technological superiority, which I think are “fallen angels”, or possibly fallen angel-human hybrids called “Nephilim” in the Bible. I also believe the reports of astronauts that orbited the Earth, went to the Moon, flew the Space Shuttle, stayed on the Space Stations MIR and the ISS—when they talked about seeing things in space they could only begin to explain. As far as the “known” universe and all the dimensions that God created, there is no telling what else could be in existence; I do feel that He has placed a barrier on any other beings that are vastly superior to us, so that they cannot “invade” us or wipe us out.”**

Nonsense.
If, given a variation in estimated survival rates from 10 to 40%, even with the most primitive care, the disease runs its course and everyone in the region is exposed, this would entail murdering millions of people who had been exposed to and survived the disease.
Sorry, not a viable solution--nor, by any means, a necessary one.
I think people who go to Afica and catch some horrid disease (or, get themselves stranded in the ocean or an a mountain, or whatnot) need to have made their own contingency plans. I am sick of every person who strays into some problem abroad dialing 911 and asking for the US military to come and get them. Screw them. If they thought taking their medical skills to Africa was a good idea, let them live with the consequences.
I’d block all persons from re-entry to the US until they clear quarantine. At their cost and expense.
