Ebola in the states???

[root]

First? You mean another.

There were some that were diagnosed in Africa, then brought here for treatment. As far as I know, this is the first to be disagnosed/discovered in the U.S. That's a whole different ball game.

Well, the good news is that we're going to start taking this a whole lot more seriously....

No, Ebola pops up in the US a couple of times a year. Far more deadly variations to boot.

We have this thing called clean drinking water, it really keeps the spread down.

I really doubt it.
That would mean they'd have to close the borders. That means their whole game plan would fall apart. (BHO & co.)

Dan is a big boy he can stick up for himself...
I repeat my previous statement, some of us are working. Don't have the time or ability to monitor our phones and every news service 24x7, or have enough tinfoil to have auto searches set-up to search for every reference to ebola, obama, 2a, cop abuse, etc and notify me the instant an article is posted.

End of month billing takes priority, didn't even know of the issue until another less willing to work employee put his tinfoil hat on and started going around spooling the office up about it. Plus I needed to make sure everything billed so we get bonus and I can afford to buy the 4 MOP suits for my family!

Really? I tried to look up other instances but the only report I could find was the one from yesterday. Any idea how many times it has popped up in the US, and how many deaths there has been?

RESTV was a big one in the 90s, you might remember that from That from the book "The Hot Zone". However, because we dont eat wild monkeys, it really never made the human jump and stayed in the monkeys.

However other cases of Filoviridae type hemorrhagic fevers have had small outbreaks in the US. The Marburg virus killed at least 2 in the US. Very similar and deadly infections.

Again, the US has clean drinking water, no one is fucking or eating monkeys. We tend to wash our hands, and geographically we have large distances between individuals.

Ebola is TERRIBLY inefficient at transferring itself host to host. Don't lick doorhandles, dont kiss the dead. Dont rub your face into crap. It really can only get in through mucus membranes and holes in the skin. It is stupid to panic about it.

The Flu is a much better and more efficient killer, and we have outbreaks of that every damn year. If you want to worry about something, worry about the asshole that comes to work sick. Influenza kills more people per year(100+), than you will ever see infected with Ebola in the US.

But it's fashionable to freak out about Ebola, and maybe find a way to connect Obama to it. Common sense isn't as fun as chicken little panic.

[Beer Hounds]

I get all that, but those are not Ebola. You said Ebola had been in the US before, so that is what I was asking about. I can't find anything about Ebola ever being diagnosed here before.

Well . . . it's spreading fast enough in Africa that I think it's reasonable to be a bit concerned.

While I agree that we probably wash our hands more often than they do, I also find it unlikely that they are licking doorhandles or rubbing their faces in crap.

Maybe panic isn't warranted, but a high level of caution certainly is.
