Merged So Ebola's back......

When the lead doctor you send in to combat an outbreak dies in the outbreak I get a bit concerned. And there is news other doctors have contracted Ebola in their fight against it.

Ebola is scary stuff. Even with medical treatment it has a mortality rate that is terrifying.

The answer to your question of how scared you should be of the Ebola outbreak is, as long as you are rubbing diluted essential oils of oregano and cinnamon on your feet, not at all.

The cure is forsythia.

Current WHO data doesn't consider Reston as disease causing in humans.
And it also appeared in Italy.

"as disease causing in humans", did you mean "disease-causing", an adjective?

That's not what WHO website tells:

Genus Ebolavirus is 1 of 3 members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus), along with genus Marburgvirus and genus Cuevavirus. Genus Ebolavirus comprises 5 distinct species:

  • Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV)
  • Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV)
  • Reston ebolavirus (RESTV)
  • Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV)
  • Taï Forest ebolavirus (TAFV).
BDBV, EBOV, and SUDV have been associated with large EVD outbreaks in Africa, whereas RESTV and TAFV have not. The RESTV species, found in Philippines and the People’s Republic of China, can infect humans, but no illness or death in humans from this species has been reported to date.

Besides, France? I'd rather look to Reston, VA and Alice, TX: six asymptomatic people developed antibodies.

I wouldn't rule out any virus as cause of disease. Isn't your country, like mine, currently on a massive and costly HPV vaccination campaign to reduce 0 to 4% of total cases of cancer?

Hmm,... sorry. I should have verified in the preview that the link worked correctly. It's supposed to make the link with the rel="nofollow" attribute but it looks like it's broken. It looks like, for some reason, it stripped the ':' from the protocol section of the URL.

Edited to add: No it didn't. It added a second "http://".

The way the forum is set up, you will get rel="nofollow" even for ordinary [url]...[/url] tags and automatically-parsed URLs.

I see. :)

I was talking about the apparent inactivity of virus, not about the obvious activity of virus. The example is to be read in that context and not to be complemented by a post about HPV from Dotheboys Hall as your comment suggests.

I understand that but you can't just go calling everything a pathogen that might have some pathogenic activity we've not yet discovered. By your definition every virus and microorganism on the planet is a pathogen.
 
I heard a recent story where two Americans were being brought back home to be treated for Ebola. It has my mom, who also thinks that Ebola is transmitted by touch, freaked about it.

I told her she has about as much call to worry about an outbreak of a zombie pandemic as she has about Ebola if it's transmitted by touch. We live in sad times folks.
 
That was kind of the point. As far as transmissions go, via touch (or bites in the case of zombies) is kind of a dumb way for a virus to propagate. I'm sure that if that were the case the Africans would have figured that out long ago and beaten Ebola.

Wow. The dedication is awesome. The less that show up, the healthier the population gets.

I was a tad disgusted by Dick Gregory on Meet the Press when he asked Dr Frieden of the CDC if it wasn't dangerous to bring these two American citizens home for treatment. Gregory is an ass. This isn't the only biased question he's asked a guest. He's not the right person for that job.

The interview.

Gregory: ... When you look at some of the precautions that are taken, a specially-outfitted plane for him to be contained, the medical units onsite from the airport to his transport to Emory, and then in a containment unit at Emory, is this an unacceptable risk to bring somebody with Ebola back?

No you jerk, it isn't. :rolleyes:

DR. TOM FRIEDEN: Well, first off, we have to say that he was coming home. And the organization that sent him to Africa made the decision to bring him home. He's an American citizen. And what our role is in public health is to make sure that if an American is coming home with an infectious disease, we protect others so that they don't spread it. And that's what we did in transit and when he's here.

You're making it sound like certain segments of the population is making an entire mountain range out of a mole hill, SK...

So business as usual then?
