Officials believe the wide footprint of this outbreak is partly because of the proximity between the jungle where the virus was first identified and cities such as Conakry. The capital in Guinea has a population of 2 million and an international airport.
People are traveling without realizing they're carrying the deadly virus. It can take between two and 21 days after exposure for someone to feel sick.

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...

Maybe Darrell Issa could write a sternly worded letter to the Ebola virus.

Its amazing the corollaries between the Pandemic of 1918 and these events that have been made. The Pandemic of 1918 was first enabled by the troop camps made by the US to enter WWI and then a virulent virus was introduced allowing it to spread rapidly. We have H1N1 in one of the refugee camps in Texas and Ebola gaining momentum in Africa. Maybe SARS, MERS, or a Hantavirus should be added into the mix for excitement.

Yes. Get on the email list server. Free shipping comes up at least monthly. I’ve started with the immediate family plan and am now working on friends and neighbors.

Can the virus spread through the air, as an aerosol from coughing, even if the sputum has no blood in it?
To: RinaseaofDs
No idea - unless it’s in the article somewhere. I’d look again, but I’m traveling, and the wi-fi connection in this small town is painfully slow!
