Ebola epidemic confirmed in Guinea

Might as well end it now, I guess, no point in waiting for the inevitable.

I'm going long on ammo stocks. It's the only way I'll be able to afford any next year...

If teh Ebola hits there will be plenty of ammo, just have to follow the smell to the bunkers.

[piscator]

There's always been plenty of ammo. That has nothing to do with the price.

Not the best candidate for a civilization-destroying pandemic, not contagious enough and kills too fast. Now, if it gets to China and cross-breeds with an avian flu virus we're well and truly fucked.

An incubation period of up to 21 days and two suited up health care professionals being infected. Don't mind me and have a nice day everybody.

Ebola crisis: Virus spreading too fast, says WHO

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is spreading faster than efforts to control it, World Health Organization (WHO) head Margaret Chan has said.

She told a summit of regional leaders that failure to contain Ebola could be "catastrophic" in terms of lives lost.

But she said the virus, which has claimed 729 lives in four West African countries since February, could be stopped if well managed.

Ebola kills up to 90% of those infected.

It spreads by contact with infected blood, bodily fluids, organs - or contaminated environments. Patients have a better chance of survival if they receive early treatment.

Initial flu-like symptoms can lead to external haemorrhaging from areas like eyes and gums, and internal bleeding which can lead to organ failure.

It's actually quite hard to contract, and the survival rate of Africans getting early hospital treatment is over 60%. Healthy westerners would have a considerably higher survival rate than that. 80% survival rate on something that is hard to contract is nothing to be really scared of here in the west. Bad for the third world, yes.

Best stop dogging for a few months to be on the safe side, anyway.

At least they're taking the Ebola ridden doctor to Atlanta, it could use a million or so deaths. Would certainly clear up traffic on I-285.

Fuck, didn't these people read The Stand?
