Ebola Case in Texas

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/30/health/ebola-us/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

 

If Ebola has finally made its way to America, lets pray it doesn't become airborne. At least for now it can only be spread through bodily fluids.

 

Perhaps its time we start doinga better job at screening those who enter our country both legally, and illegally. Entering the the US from another continent, you get screened for symptoms and other signs. Close up our porous southern border and use tunnel detection systems to prevent illegal entry. Those wishing to cross the border legally must submit to the same level of health screening. Adopting the same screening procedures for the Canadian border wouldn't be a bad idea either.

 

Perhaps this incident will finally convince the American public that having a secured border isn't a bad thing. Its not racist, elitist, heartless, mean, or rude to have a border that is well protected. Its about keeping America safe from threats. If a poor and impoverished Mexican national can walk across our border in search for a better life, then surely a well funded terrorist whom is hell bent on causing destruction could gain entry to America as well.

 

The Ebola issue isn't just related to the medical field, it also is calling into play our country's abysmal Foreign Affairs policy, along with the current lack of security our borders face.

 

On a happier note, perhaps Admin will code a new event regarding dealy viruses. And Orange Team Senate will have to vote on it.

Someone tell those Africans to STOP EATING MONKEYS. First AIDS, now Ebola...we are so genetically similar to primates that we are more prone to catching diseases from them, yet people still eat them and keep them as pets. Who knows what deadly strain of a new disease or mutated super virus will come from a monkey next? Sigh...

It looks like the second case may be a false alarm. They eat monkeys? That's just bizzare.

But then again... they might be saying "They eat cows? That's just bizzare".

"bushmeat"

 

and ebola is more likely bats, monkeys die from it aswell.

the cure is surviving, and medical care can boost your odds from abisimal 90% to 50%, I nice boost I might say :D

 

ebola can be seen as the flu (a rather bloody one I give you), your body can and will fight it but it needs to hang on when it does, people weakened or with no aid are virtual dead indeed.

Luckily I have a strong immune system then. I rarely get sick.

The irony is that if you came into contact with Spanish flu you'd be far more likely to die than a 60 yr old with a poor immune system.
