"Oh bugger, no stopping ebola. Hope the US have the manufacturers of the experimental ebola medicine working flat out.  "
Was it not as important to find a vaccine until it hit America? |

Of course it was important to find a vaccine and luckily the US found it by the looks of things. However seeing as they have been hit directly, it will hopefully spur them on to produce the vaccine in larger quantities and hopefully faster too.  |

Now that's how you fastrack an experimental drug to the mass market for bucketfuls of cash.
Got to hand it to those yanks, you want something done- they waste no time!
I wish I had shares in that company. |

"I think and hope, very soon the company will be ordered on humanitarian grounds to share the information.
Ebola is too big and quick to not go into overdrive now.  "
Lovely idea but why change the habits of a lifetime?!
Why on earth are cancer drug treatments so expensive- recoup the R&D costs and then go buy a yacht!
It's a real shame decision makers at pharmaceutical companies are acutely aware the real money is not curing you- it's to sell the pill that makes you able to live with it. |

"Not long till it's here next"
Yep, apparently the guy on question had been out and about for 4 days before showing symptoms. Trying to trace everyone he had contact with. And no doubt those they had contact with.

They have said that by the end of jan next year reported cases will reach 2million. At the moment there is still 21,000 in reported cases. If they would have shut off borders like was said, they could have tried to at least contain it. But they wouldn't , so what a surprise is now out breaking. |

Err why do you think?
Maybe there won't be anyone to buy big pharmas drugs if Ebola meds are not available to all....... |

This happens every few years, an epidemic arises and everyone panics, gets injected with untested crap, and then it all dies down again. Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Foot and Mouth.. It's just scare tactics by the media.. Nobody seems to question where all these viruses just magically appear from. As humans we've been around for hundreds of thousands of years, do you not think if these viruses were so viral and dangerous that we would be extinct by now? It's stupidity on a global scale, once again buying into the force feeding of the media, to line to pockets of the greedy pharma companies. |

The ebola virus is carried by fruit bats, who some how transmit it to monkeys, who somehow transfer it to humans.
The ebola virus da so to speak actually predates humans according to a book I read.
It is one of the viruses called the slate wiper. Hope it gets under control soon. |

You'd take your chances and not try any untested crap that might help if you contracted ebola then? |

I would rather strengthen my own immune system by eating healthily and staying away from mercury laden injections which weaken my immune system. Look at the HPV vaccines for girls, that protected them from one type of cancer, a majority of these girls are now mentally disabled or physically due to these vaccines being pushed through without any testing done. Id rather take my chances with the virus. |

Yeah, why let things like facts and History get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.
Good luck with eating healthily, that's bound to help with the Ebola. I hear chicken soup is good for it too. |

Eating a healthy diet will protect you from ebola? Good luck with that... |

While they're vaccinating people against a virus that could kill 70% of the population, they could use the opportunity to inject the mind control chips also.
But at least if 70% of people were killed the welfare bill would be lowered. |

The Ebola strain attacks the immune system, so if your immune system is a pile of shit then you're not going to last very long. It's fine you all get your mercury laden injections which will do sod all, enjoy! |

Perhaps I may hold off buying Christmas presents for people "
Haha!
But then you might not get any either. |

It's some scary shit that's for sure.
It's no joke how many people have died thus far.
Packing our bags and heading to the far north of Scotland as I type. |

Well be careful, I hear one of the things Ebola does is give you a bit of a gyppy tummy, so you might not want your greens. |

What i find more interesting is the number of people who have the virus yet survive. From the current media reports, some 30% of people who get are now surviving.
Who are they passing it on to?

"Canis, where did you find that info out then? That is fascinating as I thought a absolute tiny percentage say 1pc survived because of natural immunity? "
It's been in the mainstream media most days over the past six months or so.
eg Liberia : 4300 cases, 3000 deaths (sort of)
Yes, they do say the number of actual cases they know of is much understated, but the actual figures they quote show they do know of many c30% who don't die. |

I wonder where it'll hit next...? Emmerdale, Coronation Street or, god forbid, The Valleys...!!! AAAAAAARGH.....!!!
There'll be script-writers crying into their beer all over the place I think...Damn you Dallas...!!! At least there'll be plenty of room there to turn Southfork into a decent-sized isolation hospital.
Me...??? Am going to go 'off the grid' if it all sweeps in. It's really not a good way to go apparently. |

Thanks Canis. Been to busy to follow the news properly tbh but I like to listen to it on the radio. |

Motorbikes trying to ride badgers doesn't end well in most instances. |

I think a lot of the survival rate is down to the stage of medical intervention.
The early reports I read many months ago did use the qualifier "if medical attention is received early enough". Obviously in the case of the UK nurse who caught it, he was flown back immediately, under care and it was dealt with quickly.
But as the number of cases grow and services get swamped then that's when the 70% goes out the window. |

id say depending what medical care and how quick would be major points in fighting Ebola but does anyone know how to recognise symptoms and if someone is still in the incubation period and appears healthy (2day-21day range)they could easily be lost in society as testing people coming in and out of infected countries only happens before and after flights and wouldnt test unless they are feverish. stay well and be careful peeps |
