Ebola - What You're Not Being Told

[stonehart]

Is he right... maybe.

Anyway smart people are ready for this sort of thing, but in short you should have at the very lest 90 days of food supplies on hand and water for longer than this if such an outbreak were to happen in a western nation.

However I do not think it will happen because hygiene etc is much better in the west, hell I could be wrong but I do not feel this is going to be a massive pandemic.

But just in case.. you know.. be ready.

I sort of think the only shoddy reporting going on was his. given the crowded unsanitary (by Western standards) conditions in those countries I would THINK that any outbreaks would be much much worse than it is currently and would be at a flu like pandemic if it indeed had gone airborne. If this guy thought he was on to something he could have picked a better news source than the bbc who would probably work in conjunction with world governments if there was some kind of attempt to sweep things under the rug.

I tend to think that this outbreak evolved to a large extent because of a tainted mass-produced food source and there would be further spread because of their funeral customs. And it's a new strain. The first case was suspected back in December of last year and it's taken 6 months to get to this level. That doesn't sound like an airborne driven outbreak to me.

BBC News - Growing concerns over 'in the air' transmission of Ebola

"...The reality is that they are contained and they remain local, if it was really an airborne virus like influenza is it would spread all over the place, and that's not happening."

The authors believe that more work needs to be done to clarify the role of wild and domestic pigs in spreading the virus. There have been anecdotal accounts of pigs dying at the start of human outbreaks. Dr Kobinger believes that if pigs do play a part, it could help contain the virus.

"If they do play a role in human outbreaks it would be a very easy point to intervene" he said. "It would be easier to vaccinate pigs against Ebola than humans."


The fact that it COULD go airborne is not covered up it has been brought up on many an occastion

Nice post Wade and my thinking also, I am not in the lest bit worried about this becoming a problem in the west for the reasons you have stated.
Now as for his reporting .. in a nutshell... fear mongering.
He posts some good stuff but he also posts shit like this and what is more he did not read the full study and I can tell because I did.
You know what I am saying, when you can tell that a person has read a study etc in full you can tell if they have or not simply by the way they address the subject.. I think in this case he read the first little bit then skimmed through the rest.. I took the time to read it.

Anyway the outbreak is interesting and tragic.
