While you are probably correct, I am going out on a limb. I suspect the people who were robbed did not know they were going to be robbed. This leads me to believe they did not know their robbers. It seems to me then they couldn’t possibably know what their robbers were thinking and what the robbers knew about the robbery.

That is just as possible as any other scenario, and what the article seemed to imply. The question is ‘now that the hospital has pleaded for the robbers to return the blood, what will they do?”

...not knowing what it contained.

They just had to steal it in order to find out what was in it....

Odd thing was the Red Cross said they had not used that Taxi (sm bus w/ 9 people) before, so must have been random.

If the theft was the work some "Pinky and The Brain" islamocrazies who want to take over the world, and who knew/wanted what they were took, they'd have someone else do that dirty work for them...just in case it went bad and something got broken. Exposure is for little people.

Regardless, prime targets like pharmacies, clinics, ambulances, etc. are hard to ignore for some and are likely to be the first places hit when the shtf. Drugs, antibiotics and supplies are always valuable, especially so in places like that or when the shtf.

Hard to know what's going on here, but karma could come around fairly quickly if they were nothing more than opportunistic thieves.

The hospital in Guinea broadcast a plea to the Robbers to return the blood....however I doubt they will ever hear from them...unless they contract E bola.

I wonder if these are people who even listen to the news, and that blood could be anywhere...? Scary... in the fact anything can happen if they are careless, or not.

I don’t think the number of viles/flask that was in the cooler was released. So what they really have in amounts of blood is still unknown, unless a new article has come out with that info since yesterday.

There were 550-600 people, who were being monitored from the IMAM from Guinea who died in Mali, and no one knew he had e bola until after the funeral....their 21 days of incubation is not over yet.

If they got it into the blood bank, a lot of people will be screwed.

Unless the blood came from ebola survivors, in which case there is likely to be a very high demand for the product.

(Even if it isn’t, what’s keeping the black market from advertising as such?)

It’s been my concern with ebola for a long time. Like many blood transmitted diseases, the blood tests are not perfect indicators. Given the incubation time, a person could give blood and lie on the questions, and get ebola in either maliciously, or even stubbornness extraordinaire.

Looks like the average incubation period is 8-10 days, even though 2-21 is the recorded incubation period; the one used for quarantine.

I guess within 2 weeks we will know where the blood viles went, if one that is contaminated is exposed to anyone. Mali has the biggest hurdle with monitoring almost 600 people, and may of them washed that Imam’s contaminated body in the Muslim tradition.

Yes, and our government is not releasing all info to those who are being monitored, and where they are, and that’s not wisdom.

With Mali monitoring almost 600 people, and the US has 15-20 flying in every day from Mali (we have 5 airports that accept planes from Africa infected countries and all do not quarantine), most of the passengers live here with relatives in that country.
