With Ebola striking in Texas

[Unbelive]

What would you do if you would live there. Barricade and fight it or get the hell out of Texas.

Not really.

As far as I know the disease is not that much contagious when talking about highly developed countries like the USA.

Hopefully, it will be, well, true

lol, Ebola dont ask if you live in country that is developing or not. There is just no vaccine for it and once you got it, is no cure to cure it.

Ebola is spread by monkeys and bats. Don't think it causes a real threat to the western world.

I hope they dont understimate the virus because thats exactly what they are doing IMO. We dont know what the virus will do in a totally different enviorenment (first country envI hope they dont understimate the virus because thats exactly what they are doing IMO.

Ebola starts from bats but when it is in humans it spreads extremely easily from human to human.

I am sure Government will start shilling how easy they will solve the problem. Dont believe their shilling. If i would live in Texas i would get mountain of weapons and fortify in Alamo just shoot anyone that come close.

Wrong. To get infected by Ebola you have to get infected blood/body fluids into your system (wounds, blood, by eating or whatever).
The process is just the same as for example HIV.

As people stated earlier, it will never be able to cause any major epidemics in the western world thanks to a more developed health care, people are educated and aware of how ebola spreads and the people generally trust their governments.

Cant it become airborn?

WTF, are you serious?
You are completely wrong.
You compare HIV to ebola?  

Do you not wondering your theory by why dont every HIV infected human is not isolated?

Ebola is highly contagious disease, 80% dies with ebola after ONLY 16 days.
Ebola is transferable trought saliva, spitting, blood, sperm, urine, feces.
This mean you only must touch for example a desk that is contaminated and than rub your eyes or you suck your finger and you have ebola.
Or when a ebola patient sneeze at you.


Its a little bit different to hiv, because hiv can not be transferable trought saliva, spitting, urine, feces and the people can live a lot of years with hiv.

Please, the scaremongering on this is ridiculous, doctors have already been coming out giving news like this but the media is just taking this whole thing and running with it like the Swine Flu all over again.

In any pandemic, you either want to be one of the first or last that gets sick.  If you are first, you have access to medical care.  Once the medical systems gets overloaded you are screwed.

Ebola is now in Canada. 

A patient in Toronto is in isolation suspected of the disease. 

[iram66680]

It is only a matter of time before this disease will spread world wide. America and other western countries has the capacity to stop this. But what about other Asian countries like India or China which are very crowded and over populated.

India and China are the reasons this virus had to happen.  It's nature's way of keeping the population in check.

dude its gonna be like world war Z. get ready for tidal waves of infected zombayz.

I wouldn't do much.  It's not all that easy to get.  I see a lot of media fear mongering going on and I see alot of people commenting on facebook and other forums about how scared they are. Basically to get ebola, you have to be in direct contact with an infected persons blood, feces, urine, vomit, and/or semen.

Look at Africa, a very small number are dying from the "epidemic"



If you still have doubts that you might have it, there is this simple test you can take: http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/228818/quiz-do-you-have-ebola/

No, it doesn't. It isn't air born, so unless you are in direct physical contact with their bodily fluids, you're safe.

It is possible, if there is a mutation.

Media here in Sweden said they had found a man contaminated with Ebola weeks ago, nothing has happend. I wouldn't get worried, it's either the new bird flue/swine flue/crazy cow disease vaccine hype or the possible end of the world, I'd put my money on first option though. You can go on with your life as you did before those news reached you.

Hahaha, guess #1 3k a year... Wow they should have made up a new disease instead or say that stroke happens when you eat hamburgers.

The trick is to stop it before it becomes a pandemic.
