Three million? You'd think Koffee could Koff it up
from his own secret accounts.

I don't like the looks of this, it's always burnt
itself out before but if it gets to a fuel rich enviroment
we are all toast.

Hey, not to worry.

I'm sure that the hard core Maxists Mandela will easily be able to fund any needed measures from his people's paradise of SA.

I wouldn't send snot.

As more people die, people panic. As they panic they scatter and the disease spreads further.

As long as it's not airborne, it's containable in modern facilities. In wretched third world conditions, it's going to spread.

This article is slightly out of date. There have been 6 cases reported now in Dem. Rep. of the Congo (Zaire), so it's spreading.

Quarantine. Now.

Amen. Air travel should stop to the area.

Even modern facilities are not going to be able to contain
this if it reaches the west.

The Muslims will have something greater to fear than the
great satan.

Oh, never mind. I misread the article! It seems there's a Zaire province in Angola..

This is a case of shoot first, ask questions later to ensure the survival of humanity. What happens if this gets loose in Asia? Think about the massive flu epidemics of the last decade there....

I'm not so sure about that. If it is transmitted only through body fluids and we take care not to touch them, then it's less transmittable than the flu.

This has nothing to do with globalism. If we were still in the sailing ship and telegraph days, I'd say the same thing. There is no cure and no vaccine, and this sounds like a different strain than the one the CDC has on its website - seems far more deadly. Quarantine is necessary to save humanity, if it's not too late.

sailing ships and telegraphs would help to prevent the spread. Today we got jets and failed imigration policies to mainline it to everywhere.

Tell that to the poor bastards who died in the Black Plague.
