It might be time to start burning the dead instead of planting them 6 feet under.
Dreadful, unimaginable conditions. My heart goes out to these poor people.
Unfortunately, the aborted baby cells are real, too.
So, that's my whole motivation for becoming a scientist, specializing in medical research--to save the planet from humans? And I'm a creepy technocrat, to boot?
I never knew that about myself before. Thanks for clearing all that up.
It does not matter how they dispose of the dead. Buried or burned, they are not contagious. The problem is that before burial, they handle the dead with bare hands, risking exposure. The funeral practices are especially conducive to spreading the virus--their funerals are very hands-on.
Is that why I have spent a career finding oil? Your brush is far too broad, FRiend..
Do you think they can comply if they had 100 ebola patients?
Uh no. That wouldn’t be funny. You need help.
Obola is bringing them here without any health screening process for the specific purpose of increasing the number of Democrat voters. Having the exact opposite effect would be funny.
Whenever I see article comments in lamestream news articles, invariably, they bash the pharmaceuticals for having a profit motive. I am just amazed at the shortsightedness:
1) the only countries who even have the potential for vaccine are those for whom industry has a profit motive; and
2) "Big Pharma" may end up, in this case, literally saving human civilization.
And yet, the progressives can only see evil. Truly twisted brains they have.
I think you're confused. Vaccines against various viruses have existed for a long time. Until recently there were no antibiotics or drugs you could take for a viral infection. But now there are even anti-viral drugs.
Vaccines against viruses have a long history of success.
In one of these threads there was a statement about needing more room to bury the dead, and also that dogs were digging up the corpses with a potential for spreading it that way.
Assuming that was true, it would seem logical to burn the bodies along with anything else that can’t be safely sanitized.

I have heard that dogs were eating corpses left in the streets, but not that they dug up bodies. I would guess the infectivity of the corpse would depend on how long since the person died. I have a microbiologist friend who cannot imagine that the virus would be viable more than a couple hours after death, due to pH changes that happen early in the decomposition process. I take her word for it--I have never studied decomposition.
I saw a scientific journal article about Ebola in dogs. They get the disease from eating corpses and have an immune response, but they do not get sick. I do not know if those dogs are contagious.
I think that many bodies are being burned. However, many are buried, also.
right. Like the influenza VIRUS that has a yearly vaccine.
