Ebola Virus Death Toll Up to 603; Ivory Coast Closes Border to Refugees

Brave man.

[17th Miss Regt]

Health minister Miatta Kargbo called Khan a national hero and said she would "do anything and everything in my power to ensure he survives".

National hero, probably. But the health minister can do nothing to ensure he survives except pray.

[driftdiver]

So how did he contract it? Was he careless or is there a infect method he didnt know about.

You’ve gotta give the man credit...he doesn’t lead from behind like so many leaders do.

[blackdog]

Sounds like the disease a community organizer for change could find quite useful. Sort of like blankets with smallpox infection secretions to natives.

[Jeff Chandler]

We need to bring those poor infected people here where we can care for them. To do otherwise would be racist and xenophobic.

(I’m practicing to be a Democrat.)

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping...and if you are so inclined, your prayers for a brave man. He has mine.

Ebola is spread by bat poop, eating various animals (bat, pig), and person-to-person contact, including just kissing and other sexual contact.

A person’s fluids remains infectious for months after being “cured” of the disease.

It could be put in an aerosol very easily.

Only a matter of time, I suppose.

On the bright side, vaccines look promising. It’s not an overly complex virus.

[Rome2000]

That’s a real hero

[Jim from C-Town]

This is scary!

[ElkGroveDan]

Ebola kills up to 90 percent of those infected and there is no cure or vaccine.

Only a matter of time before it shows up in Central America.

Just hope that none of those illegals, pouring over our border, carries that disease.

[Kartographer]

Preppers’ PING!!

[ozarkgirl]

What a shame. Prayers for this brave man. They need him - not many people would be willing to do what he does.

[Gamecock]

We tend to forget that public health workers often put their life on the line. They are the foot Soldiers in a war of disease vs. us.

My daughter is a budding epidemiologist and was excited to hear of a position in Lesotho doing research on drug resistant TB. I hope whatever she does she stays safe.

[dynachrome]

Not a good sign. The doctor had probably been treating many more patients than during a common (if there is such a thing) outbreak.

A “bring out yer dead” ping, also.

Generally this starts in the jungle then moves into one city. This time it started in three cities... That’s just NOT how it happens naturally.

Illegals are being flown around the county without medical checks... the obviously sick are being taken to undisclosed locations.

Homeland has enough bullets to kill everyone in the United States several times over.

Generally Ebola starts in the jungle then moves into one close-by city. This time it started in three cities simultaneously... That's NOT natural.

Illegal children are being flown around the county without medical checks... the obviously sick are being taken to undisclosed locations.

Homeland has enough bullets to kill everyone in the United States several times over. People who normally protect our borders are busy babysitting...
