Next Ebola outbreak is inevitable, WHO official warns

Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organisation has said a new outbreak of the Ebola virus is inevitable.
The WHO official was speaking Thursday May 4, at an event in the Guinean capital dedicated to individuals who fought to control the disease in their communities. Margaret Chan urged world leaders to be more prepared while assuring that the new vaccine and rapid-response measures mean the disease will be more effectively contained.

The WHO chief use the forum to acknowledge the Guinean government for its role in developing the vaccine, announced in December, but added a note of caution.

“Scientists do not yet know exactly where in nature the Ebola virus hides between outbreaks, but nearly all experts agree that another outbreak is inevitable,” she said, speaking to an audience of scientists, Ebola response coordinators and dignitaries. “When this occurs, the world will be far better prepared,” Chan added.

In a major clinical trial using an innovative “ring”, method, nearly 6,000 people in Guinea were given the test vaccine in 2015, during which not one of them contracted the disease.

Even with an “initially limited” first batch of the vaccine, Chan said, health authorities had another option in their arsenal “beyond isolation and quarantine”.

Ebola is utterly insignificant .
It isn't even useful as a bio-weapon .

[pErvinalia]

It kills too quickly.

Its purpose is to reinforce Crumple's world view that we are all doomed.

Yep. Until those pesky doctors got involved AIDS was a perfect pathogen. Spread by fucking, a decade or so till it kills. Perfect way to reduce the population without untoward economic effects. I blame the gays, if they'd just taken one for team we'd be living in Paradise now.

[Rum]

Never mind. Antibiotics are going to stop working soon. Deaths from infection are back on the menu big time. Crumple is in doom heaven.

[laklak]

Throw in climate change, killer asteroids, and Trump, and our chances of seeing 2030 are about 1 in 3.

It's a great time to be alive.

We're living in the End Times. I'm a-comin' f' ya Jesus!!
