Ebola Virus making Headlines again

So how long will it take for airports to screen every arrival?

For a virus dating back to 1976 that emerges every 2-3 years killing 200-300 people, it gets easily dismissed as non-threatening to the world.

Currently, it is at a record high of over 1300 cases with a fatality rate of 60-90%. If there was an end to overpopulation on this planet, this would be it.

mhhh.....end to overpopulation?

The outbreak is largely restricted to African countries only. And a fatality count of several hundred is not very impressive. There is no cause for concern yet.

There are lots of other viruses and contagious diseases to worry about.

But an estimated of 30,000 people have came into contact with the disease or someone whose had the disease does raise some alarm. Especially with the high fatality rate.

Yeah..I've read that many in Africa are being effected..but even so that should be stopped. So far I've read that they are sanitizing workplaces and ect to help in stop the spread of it. I mean two even volunteered to isolate themselves because they were exposed to someone who had died of it already..it's pretty scary but hopefully it doesn't travel as far.

Every time I hear of viruses/diseases coming up I always think of the game Plague Inc for iPhones , but that's probably just me lol

Plague inc is awesome!


Anyways, I think if Ebola does not stay contained which is very possible--man cannot control nature--then we have a potentially huge problem on out hands.

This honestly scares me, it could be the closest to a zombie apocalypse we all dread. =_=
