The 1918 flu was spread globally through ‘unnatural means’, e.g. from the millions of returning soldiers from the trenches of Europe. Similarly, ebola is being ‘helped’ by the ease of modern air travel. Otherwise it would just wipe out an African village and we’d never hear about it.
I might add that the single most effective way to spread the disease into countries without it appears to be sending in foreign aid workers who then contract it, and are sent home to receive modern care. A more conspiratorial person than myself might think this was being done on purpose.
Elmer Keith, “Hell I was there” the legendary gun writer got this as a young man and barely survived in remote Idaho.
So much from wondering what’s going to happen to us old patriots.
