It's a good thing I found those EBOLA articles, and caught that Reuters news release this morning before breakfast.
Those monkeys in the cellar.org logo were making me hungry! |

OK so let me get this straight:
An evil doctor volunteers to work at an Ebola hot zone, brings back a few samples, cultivates these and lets them out in various US cities as a prank.
And he lets out a LOT of virus. Does it in the middle of flu season. People panic, hospitals are overwhelmed, MORE people panic... Ah forget it, it could never happen here. |

One would imagine that if one had been working in a hot zone of Ebola, they wouldn't just be allowed back into the country without some serious checking going on.
However, one thing we have to be fortunate over is the fact that Ebola is not very easily transmissable, and is killed relatively easily (simple bleach will take it out PDQ). Could it happen here? Sure, it could. But don't think it would be easy. For the curious, we have ebola at Ft Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. Take US 15 and look for the exit for 7th Street. It's right down there. |

I read an article on Yahoo about this, and it was saying how pissed off and indignant the locals are that they can't eat monkey brains. :] Apparent other sources of proteins aren't that easy to get..

Remember when north Americans didn't know what a map of Afghanistan looked like? Well, geography students, we've got a new map for you this month ... G A B O N Also near central Africa's CONGO (formerly ZAIRE, where Ebola was first discovered) are SUDAN, ETHIOPIA and SOMALIA, countries we'll discuss later this year in our home study course, "The Geography of Terrorism 101" http://www.africaguide.com/afmap.htm WHO cares? http://www.who.int/disease-outbreak-...ember2001.html Not to worry. Fewer that a dozen of US died of anthrax bioterrorism. And things are pretty much under control in GABON, according to you know WHO. Only Africans have been infected. As of 27 December, 29 confirmed cases (12 laboratory and 17 epidemiologically linked), including 20 deaths, have been reported. An additional 8 suspected cases are under investigation in Gabon. All contacts (having direct or suspected contact with the blood or other body fluids of a case) are being closely monitored for signs or symptoms of Ebola haemorrhagic fever for 21 days. Currently, 206 contacts are under active follow up. We anticipate one or more cases may develop among these contacts. And I'm sure the CDC is better prepared for EBOLA in the USA than they were for Anthrax. The good news is everyone infected dies before it can be transmitted beyond an immediate family and first responders and health care professionals and their families. Can it happen here? http://www.detroitnews.com/2001/heal...07/-185158.htm Now, "Go about your business ..." spend some money, rent a DVD ... http://www.dvdcentre.co.uk/reviews/outbreak.htm take the family to a movie ... http://www.spe.sony.com/movies/blackhawkdown/ enjoy the holidays. |

This is off-topic, but that's almost the funniest thing to come out of the WTC bombing -- the government declaring, "For God's sake, don't stop spending money!!"
