Ping!
There’s a lot of scary sh*t going down right now.
Which side is the environazis on? The humans or the virus?
***************************
Really not good - these folks, of all people, should know the precautions to take and how not to get infected. The uneducated, living in poverty, fearful masses don't stand much of a chance.
Different strain in Nigeria. It’s like someone is testing out the different models to see which one works best.
Earth is just a test facility, run by aliens, for development of biological weapons of mass destruction.
Could be really ugly if it were somehow combined with a flu, or if it paved the way through immune systems for MRSA present in the environment. Victims would spew, bleed and disolve, all at the same time, like slugs with salt on them.
Exactly my thinking! We must wear the same size ‘tinfoil hat’! We several of us commented a few weeks ago that the virus seems to have mutated the FR resident experts on Ebola went off on us. I wonder what they think now? Most likely they still believe you have to have sex with the carrier for three days and then eat their brain to catch it.
Virus .... how do you get rid of an excess of 6.5 billion people ... wars and plagues!
Don't know about them, but there are some people who think that the world needs a good ebola outbreak in order to weed out a bunch of people.
We’re screwed unless every single mutation renders the virus inert.
Well of course it has...that is normal for any virus. What might be of concern is if it mutates to actually prefer a human host...then we may have something.
The virus. They see humans (not them, of course) as a pestilence on the earth.

Here is the Amazon summary:
The bestselling landmark account of the first emergence of the Ebola virus. A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this exotic “hot” virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a hair-raising account of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and their “crashes” into the human race.
Shocking, frightening, and impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone proves that truth really is scarier than fiction.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
True enough. One of the reports on Drudge indicates dogs are eating the dead bodies of victims. Apparently dogs can be carriers but do no get sick.
And your guts liquefy
That’s Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ♫
