For all the folks who believe The Gub'mnt Is Not Telling Us Everything ...

Quote:
WHO has acknowledged acting too slowly to control the Ebola epidemic. In its defense, the agency says the virus’s spread was unprecedented and blames several factors, including lack of resources and intelligence from the field. Internal documents obtained by AP, however, show WHO’s top leaders were informed of how dire the situation was. But they held off on declaring an emergency in part because it could have angered the countries involved, interfered with their mining interests or restricted the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in October.
Politics! Over Science and Medicine! Quel horreur! Who'd a thunk it?

Default CDC warns Ebola might be sexually transmitted by survivors

http://www.syracuse.com/health/index...survivors.html

From article-
Health officials said previous studies showed the virus could be found in the semen of recovering men up to 82 days after the onset of symptoms. But the new finding suggests the virus can persist in seminal fluid for longer than previously recognized, and potentially lead to sexual transmission of the virus.

Looks like Ebola is not going away 2 soon.

Ebola-related protests likely to increase in Guinea, exposing assets and personnel of humanitarian organisations to violent attacks

An Ebola-related protest turned violent in the Guinean mining town of Kamsar, the capital of Boké region, on 30 May as protesters ransacked the police station and set fire to three vehicles.

On the same day, another violent protest broke out in the town of Tanéné, Boké region, where a vehicle conveying health workers was attacked and set alight. The scale of the violence in Boké led to security reinforcements and many health workers, including local Red Cross personnel, withdrawing in case of further attacks.

Just to confirm librarian's post above:

"Liberia confirms third Ebola case in new outbreak"

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/0...-new-outbreak/

"Liberia confirmed a third new case of the deadly Ebola virus on Thursday, as the disease re-emerges nearly two months after the outbreak was declared over in the West African nation, a senior health official said."

Quote:
A nurse working for the charity International Medical Corps has died of Ebola in Sierra Leone.

The health worker, a Sierra Leonean national, worked at the Ebola treatment centre in the coastal Kambia district on the border with Guinea, where there have been intermittent flare-ups of the disease.

As of 14 July, Ebola had claimed the lives of 3,947 people in Sierra Leone. Between 14 June and 5 July, three deaths from Ebola were reported: one in Port Loko, in the country’s north; one in Western Area Urban, the most populous of Sierra Leone’s 14 districts; and one in Kambia.
Seems to be slowing down.

"The Ebola Gamble
How Public Health Authorities Put Reassurance Before Protection"
Quote:
In December 2014 and February 2015, after public attention to Ebola had waned, two medical articles quietly appeared that exhaustively summarized the available literature on how Ebola is transmitted. In the gently descriptive language of scientists, these papers walked through most of the CDC’s and the World Health Organization’s major claims about Ebola — that it cannot be transmitted via water supplies, sewage, or the air; that its maximum incubation period is 21 days; that patients are contagious only when symptomatic — and showed how each, though stated definitively on posters and in public statements by the CDC and the WHO, was not only based on fragmentary evidence, but had evidence to qualify or contradict it.

...

What follows is an investigation into the failures of the CDC and the WHO in protecting health care workers from Ebola virus disease: how the agencies became averse not to risk but to acknowledging risk; how they did not “err on the side of caution” but guarded only against dangers for which the evidence was firmly conclusive; how they became as concerned with reassuring the public as with actually protecting it.
A bit of "WHO (sic) can you trust" ...

British Ebola survivor nurse back in 'serious condition'

She was transferred to London in a military aircraft early Friday "due to an unusual late complication of her previous infection by the Ebola virus", the Royal Free said in a statement.

The newly-discovered twist on this post-Ebola syndrome is that, in some cases, the health problems -- often including damage to the eyes and joints -- is actually caused by live Ebola virus growing in bodily fluids in some of the less accessible compartments of the body."


So my ? is this- Do the "survivors" of Ebola, have the potential to transfer Ebola to offspring? <---Could open a whole new kettle of fish.

Big surprise: "So It Turns Out There's A Lot We Don't Know About Ebola"

"The virus came roaring back into headlines this past week. A Scottish nurse who survived Ebola is back in isolation in London, being "treated for Ebola," according to the Royal Free Hospital. The hospital says the patient's "condition has deteriorated and she is now critically ill."

"And two new research papers found that the virus can live in a male survivor's semen for up to nine months, and that one man passed it to his sexual partner months after he was released from the Ebola ward."

Ebola Evolved Into Deadlier Enemy During the African Epidemic

But new research suggests another impetus: The virus may have evolved a new weapon against its human hosts. In studies published on Thursday in the journal Cell, two teams of scientists report that a genetic mutation may have made Ebola more deadly by improving the virus’s ability to enter human cells.

The virus isn't really made more deadly by the mutations. Both pre- and post mutation the virus is essentially 100 percent going to kill you. Perhaps it might take a lesser number of viruses to infect and start the death process. Further research is needed on that issue. http://www.virology.ws/2016/11/03/in...m-west-africa/

Default NYT: New Ebola Vaccine Gives 100 Percent Protection

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/22/he...tionfront&_r=0

Quote:
In a scientific triumph that will change the way the world fights a terrifying killer, an experimental Ebola vaccine tested on humans in the waning days of the West African epidemic has been shown to provide 100 percent protection against the lethal disease.

The vaccine has not yet been approved by any regulatory authority, but it is considered so effective that an emergency stockpile of 300,000 doses has already been created for use should an outbreak flare up again.

My former company headquarters was 200 yards away at max.. The clowns that worked there never heard of Reston Ebola.

"The Hot Zone" is quite a bit sensationalized and some facts distorted, but it's not horrid.

Best book on Ebola in general is "Level4 Virus Hunters of the CDC"
"https://www.amazon.com/Level-Hunters-Tracking-Deadliest-Viruses/dp/1454916656". Was written by 2 PhD's who married after meeting running down Hemmoragic Fever in Africa. Level4 is written very confusingly, Hot Zone you can read in a day...

They also were involved in Reston, VA.

WHO says
Quote:
A new Ebola epidemic has been declared in the Democratic Republic of Congo after the deaths of three people thought to be linked to the virus.

The country’s health ministry confirmed one person has tested positive for the virus.

The World Health Organisation confirmed that the DR Congo had informed them of a lab-confirmed case of the disease.

Both isis and the new world order wants this to escape into 1st world countries to wipe out the population.

Why else would they rush infected people back into 1st world large cities?

Space suits cannot protect from this virus.

Bio terror could be the new wave of folk that hate us. Imagine suicide bio infected extremists entering major cities like Paris, London, Munich, NYC. What is the plan by interpol and other agencies to prevent this type terror...

Airline/TSA security certainly has nothing on their radar. Homeland security should be looking into if they have not.

This will be interesting to see how the US reacts to the outbreak with regard to importing the infected via air/sea du jour for "treatment" and or enforce a quarantine. You sickie? No tickie.

If it gets a foothold in a city--Good night Irene.

They'll have to quarantine the continent.

I doubt that's the case and especially so in countries with good and modern medical infrastructures. Ebola is actually hard to catch since it's only contagious via bodily fluid and really only infectious when symptoms are showing. And once symptoms show the carrier is incapacitated rather quickly. It's a big problem in Africa because of poor or non-existent medical care, a mistrust of doctors, and a tradition of touching the dead. The medical care is so bad in Uganda that the Peace Corp flies their volunteers to South Africa if any medical treatment is needed and tells them never to use local hospitals unless death is the only other alternative.

Of course this is just my opinion based on what I've read so take it for what you will.

Exactly, your opinion of what you’ve read and don’t really know. We have contingency plans here in the US for just that and other outbreaks and yes quarantines would be coming. I was in the medical field for years and have read the SOP for it.

But you keep believing what you read or see on CNN.

And exactly how many cities or countries in Africa have anything approaching modern medical infrastructure? Sorry but as soon as Brazzaville or Nairobi go hot, people will flee and spread the virus worldwide unless strict/harsh quarantine measures are put in place.
