he deaths of 10 people in the past week of a mysterious disease in several cities in Venezuela, including the capital of Caracas, have caused panic within the population and has prompted doctors to sound the alarm.
A government spokesman minimized the warnings and described efforts to notify the public of a disease that has killed four adults and four children as a "campaign of disinformation and terrorism."
Despite the government's indifference, the country's doctors insist there is plenty of reason for concern about a highly dangerous and contagious disease of unknown origin.

Ping!
Geez. That will be a real tragedy if Ebola breaks loose there.
Those people can’t even wipe their asses anymore. I’d hate to see them deal with a hot Ebola outbreak. They’ll have to resurrect Himmler to give them ideas for how to best deal with the infected....
This has been all over social media.
Does anyone know if a gas mask would filter out Ebola?
Here’s an excerpt from the story:
“In its initial stages, the disease presents symptoms of fever and spots on the skin, and then produces large blisters and internal and external bleeding, according to data provided week stop by the College of Physicians of the state of Aragua, where the first cases were reported.
Then, very quickly, patients suffer from respiratory failure, liver failure and kidney failure. Venezuelan doctors have not been able to determine what the disease is, much less how to fight it.
The government has denied the existence of “a mysterious disease” and described the information provided by the doctors as a “media campaign against Venezuela.”
The governor of the state of Aragua, Tarek El-Aissami and Communications Minister Delcy Rodriguez, refer to the warnings as a “defamatory” strategy to “distress to the population.”
Some theories being examined include the possibility that the disease could be a new type of very aggressive and severe dengue, an atypical version of the Chikunguña fever or an Ebola virus appearance in Venezuela. “
The symptoms of the ‘mysterious disease’ seem similar to Ebola

just in case...
Need to know if these are clusters or completely separate cases. Do family members or medical people become infected? What is the incubation period? 100% fatality?
If the filter is a P-100 rated filter, it should. full face protection helps keep you from getting the virus in contact with facial openings (nasal, oral, eyes) as well.
“A government spokesman minimized the warnings and described efforts to notify the public of a disease that has killed four adults and four children as a “campaign of disinformation and terrorism.” “
I’m sure we’ll get truthful and honest answers to those questions any. day. now.
Don't worry, Obama is sending the military to fight it and if that happens he will send the air force.
Agenda is more important than honesty about medical issues.
The shortage of materials for newspapers keeps the populace ingnorant , and more dependant on government controlled radio for information.
Expect a major outbreak before it is acknowledged by the government.
Did something get out of a lab...or did someone discover something in the woods somewhere?
Alrighty then,
Lets see if Obola sends troops....
No amount of preppin’ can stop a plague or pandemic if that’s what this is.
