    Thought about Ebola?

    This shit actually seems interesting, there's been a shit ton of footage of a car rolling through the US with a physician that obtained the virus inside a ambulance guarded with 2 patrol cars. It will be the first time someone will be treated for the virus in the US, luckily the virus isn't that contagious however it is highly infectious. Shit looks like something out of a zombie movie.

    There have been at least a dozen Ebola outbreaks in Africa within the last decade or so, and this one isn't even remotely the biggest. You're all a lot of paranoid twats.

    Yeah but the issue is the fact that it's still able to infect a large population again in this age(also y u no look at 3rd image).

    I did, and it's a piece of vague sensationalist bullshit.


    The reason there are a large number of infections and deaths is because wackjob revolutionist leaders are spreading propaganda about the virus, causing a large amount of resistance to treatment. If you'll notice in the diagram, the infection/death ratio is a lot higher than in previous years. This mostly due to what I previously stated, resistance to treatment. On a worldwide level, this may actually be better, as the quicker the carriers die, the quicker the virus becomes a non-threat.

    In addition, Africa is highly underdeveloped, and has next to no native governing bodies to help contain it, no public knowledge, and no resources. The current outbreaks are mostly isolated from each other, and are related mostly by coincidence, not widespread geographic transmission. And, no Ebola is not very communicable at all in the modern age, especially in developed countries, due to public awareness and day and night differences in containment. Once a case of Ebola is isolated in a First World Country, it is just about impossible for said individual to infect anyone else. Just like every other recorded outbreak of Ebola, patients will be isolated, and the virus will become inert either with treatment, or the death of the carrier.

    Without oxygen, every fire will die, and the CDC has the lid to the jar.

    While the US government is pretty shit nowadays, Disease Control is one of the few agencies I have faith in.
    The CDC does not fuck around.
