Liberian prostitute kills eight soldiers via Ebola transmission
Times Live ^ | 08 Oktober, 2014

Posted on 10/08/2014 9:50:01 AM PDT by GonzoII

According to the Liberian Observer, a sex worker visited soldier Floson Louise at his army barracks in Liberia.

“When she slept at the EBK (barracks), it was thereafter the soldiers contracted the disease, and could not survive despite “intensive treatment” at the various Ebola Treatment Units in Monrovia,” a source told the Observer.

The sex worker was suffering from Ebola and passed the deadly disease to the soldier who unknowingly spread it to seven other soldiers. The Observer further reports that the army barracks are being decongested to ease the spread of the disease.

“The sex worker was suffering from Ebola and passed the deadly disease to the soldier who unknowingly spread it to seven other soldiers.

Someone was “playing for both teams.” “

Not necessarily - Ebola does spread by other means...not that we actually know them all, but I’d imagine that if you had 8 guys in relatively close proximity in a barracks, and the infected one started coughing or sneezing, that the chances of the other 7 getting infected would be quite high. There are other means, as well, besides playing for the other team.

Indeed. If it hits the homosexual community, it will spread like wildfire.

True enough, although the CDC keeps telling us it is very difficult to spread...

“Decongested”?

What are they doing, spraying little bottles of nose drops all over the place?

I guess if he wore a condom, all would still be well.

I know right! Because that is only place were bodily fluids come from!

People NEVER kiss before/during sex.

Nope.

if it hits any community, it hit spread like wildfire, young straight people are frankly not that picky these days either. Lets be honest everybody is at risk here if you play loose and fast with morals, gay, straight, whatever.....Ebola, won’t give a damn.

Yes. They will spelunk this into a national epidemic.

I don’t know that it takes so long to kill people in Africa, so far the AIDs death toll is about 36 million and about a million a month.

You won’t need to have sex to get ebola, a kiss with an infected person will do it, let alone having sex.....

So I don’t know why we are all getting funny about this, any bodily contact with a contagious person will do it for you.

Agreed. My remark is based on the statistically higher level of promiscuity in the male homosexual community compared to rates of fornication in the heterosexual population.

What’s with this talk of “sex workers” in the media...

If they said "prostitute" it would be ambiguous whether they were talking about a politician or a lawyer, so they say "sex worker" to avoid any confusion.

Don’t forget, that is also heavily skewed towards the educated and nascent middle class specifically due to cultural acceptance of promiscuity and prostitution.

Let’s see...these are members of the same Liberian military that is working side-by-side with U.S. troops sent to the region.

Pray for our military members deployed to the hot zone. They are being dispatched on a fool’s errand, and their risk of exposure cannot be understated.

Consider the case of the Spanish nurse, now being treated in Madrid; she was apparently exposed to the virus while taking off her protective suit after caring for a priest who had been evacuated from Africa and later died. Similarly, the cameraman working for NBC was wearing a full protective suit when he was somehow splashed or sprayed with body fluids from an Ebola patient.
