      Oh it was Ebola that ends us all not AI or nukes. It’s always the one you most medium you expect

      One thing Covid should have taught the world is that outbreaks in poorer or politically unstable countries are not someone elses problem.

      By the time the rest of the world starts paying serious attention, diseases have often already spread much further than they should have.

      It’s almost as if Mother Nature has had enough of our shit and wants us gone

      After reading The Hot Zone I think we should take this seriously.

      And by that I mean roughly 2/3rds of the US

      The other third would rather gripe about their rights while their organs dissolve

      How is this spreading though? Seems like it can only be spread through bodily fluids from someone who is already symptomatic. So what are these people doing sharing bodily fluids?

      I hope these news or over hyping this… TBH idk how I can mentally deal with a nee pandemic.

      Ebola isn’t an airborne virus thx god! You have to be in direct contact with infected bodily fluids to catch it. We would all be in serious trouble if it ever became airborne. With a 30-50% death rate, that would give it dooms day virus status. Basically a coin toss if you live or die.

      Last time I remembered about Ebola breaking out, it’s that it killed way faster than it could spread, which isn’t really successful in terms of being a pandemic (that is unless it becomes way less lethal over time) with that said, I’d hate to be around the area where it’s spreading rn that’s fucking terrifying

      Ebola is not the virus I wanted to be taken out by, like….the last thing I want to be taken out by

      Ebola is not going to become a global pandemic anytime soon. It’s not airbourne.

    13. Global-Cheesecake922 on

      From the sounds of it, it looks like this has gone on for weeks without detection. Trying to contain that spread is going to be difficult. Think we will see it start to spread more

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the deal with Ebola that it burns out too quickly to spread very far?

      It would sure be nice if we had USAID still or the CDC’s international outreach programs to help stem the tide of this outbreak.

      Right now, the gutting of those two programs is largely stuck overseas, but I seriously wonder how long it’ll take before that decision comes home to roost.

      A good friend of mine was about to be activated and sent to Africa to the site of an Ebola outbreak a few years ago. It got cancelled. He said „apparently someone was able to convince the folks to stop throwing the bodies of those who died from Ebola into the water source for the area and it cleared up“.

      So, there’s that.

      Wow wonder what happens when a major country pulls its international aid.

    20. Clean-Experience-639 on

      Global aid agencies like USAID weren’t developed and funded for shits and giggles. Now we’re all going to find out what happens in a global society when countries lacking healthcare infrastructure aren’t assisted.

      So hantavirus was a misdirect and while our attention was on a cruise ship Mother Earth cooks up an ebola outbreak. Clever girl.

    25. TiredOfDebates on

      If I recall correctly, there were major outbreaks of Ebola in Africa (over the past couple of decades) due to traditional funeral practices, where basically the entire funeral procession prepares the deceased for the grave.

      Someone who dies of a virus is extremely contagious, as are people in the end-stages. The lack of trust in doctors, the lack of availability of doctors in regions with Ebola outbreaks, means that when one person gets sick, their family all remains in close contact with them… until the end. And then everyone that attends their funeral somehow gets infected through open-casket funerals… of Ebola victims. Which creates these sorts of events.

      Ebola isn’t going to be a pandemic, or epidemic. It just doesn’t spread *that* easily, and basic quarantine practices stamp it out quickly…. if they are followed.

      With the WHO and the CDC defunded and practically unable to get involved, the relief will come through Médecins San Frontiers and other, smaller NGOs.

    28. manofmystry on

      And the Bundibugyo strain has no approved vaccines, unlike the more common Zaire strain.

    29. Vyndye on

      Is the detection of ebola one of the things that got cut by doge or am i misattributing that

    31. Prudent_Situation_29 on

      The good news never stops. It’s been over six solid years of nothing but this.

    32. ErasmosOrolo on

      If they didn’t do so much testing those numbers wouldn’t be so high 

    33. MyAccountWasBanned7 on

      If the outbreak makes it to the US, I might start rooting for the ebola.
