Scared to death of Ebola Are you?

[TriBi]

IMO, at this stage , Ebola is highly unlikely to become another "great plague" in first world countries that have the capabilities to deal effectively with the 'occasional' incidence of someone arriving and falling victim to the Ebola Virus. In the first world the knowledge, facilities and and simple medical advantage of being a first world nation is likely to be enough to contain the problem.

This is NOT the situation in Africa - or any 2nd or 3rd tier country. That is precisely why the developed world needs to commit resources to fight this virus NOW. The sad reality is that they probably won't until the stuation becomes acute - or worse.

I quote:

A Royal Navy 'floating hospital' with 100 beds and a state-of-the-art casualty unit has begun loading supplies as part of Britain's bid to halt the Ebola outbreak.

RFA Argus arrived today in Falmouth, Cornwall, where it is set to spend six days before sailing for Sierra Leone with 750 servicemen and three Merlin helicopters.

Ebola i am scared of it i work at the hospital with patients so i am on the front line if it hits our hospital. The sad part is the USA is taking responsibility to this and footing the bill.

Right. Because they have cared for two or three patients. And the rest of the world is doing nothing.

I would suggest that if you are a front line worker in a hospital...you should do some research on Ebola....and then make sure that your hospital actually does have the protocols in place to protect the caregivers. And that you know what to do.

My fear are the ignorant Tea Bagging Republicans.

Spoken for truth.

Research cutbacks were made a decade ago by Republicons. Without these cutbacks, we'd probably have an ebola vacciine by now.

We don't have a Surgeon General who would provide leadership to combat ebola. The almighty NRA didn't like the N*gg*r's appointment because he regarded gunshot wounds/deaths as health risks. - Result: no approval.

That's okay. Those who are scared of contracting ebola will vote Republicon anyway.

Well, I certainly wouldn't want to catch it, it appears to be spread fairly readily and its fatality rate is much higher than something like a flu.
Best you can do is trust that the people who can help treat and contain the disease are well resourced.

So glad this American has dual citizenship and lives in London England never going back. And not afraid of EBOLA.

Ah no kidding. Imagine you bringing up the fact on Ebola that you hate America and never going back because now you have bullshit dual citizenship living in the UK. Fuck its a first I wonder if you will mention this again on JUB?

All those nasty antibiotics must surely be to blame for mutated viruses because antibiotics are totally designed to fight those things. And of course Ebola would mutate in Third World African nations, where everybody has access to antibiotics. Y doo sum ppl doubt dis???

Antibiotics have no effect whatsoever on viruses. Antibiotics are only effective on bacteria.

Some guy that shopped at my store told me that there was Ebola in Chocolate and Dr. Pepper.
