Jesus m8. Now they've got somebody in Bolivia in the hospital for diarrhea, vomiting, and fevering.
Dude.... It's all ogre. We ought to just give in and throw in the towel :c
DR of Congo's got confirmed cases. Fuck.Also, in other news, subglacial eruption in Iceland. A big crack in mexico, earthquake in Chile and Cali.
Well....Imma go purchase a bomb shelter. :c
The eruption's not bad. The Chile was a mere 6.5, and I don't know about Cali (except the quake wasn't big). If there's an Ebolapocalypse, just get away from people (Except my survival group if it ever comes to be )
Cali was a 7.0.Ebola is spreading.... Gad dammit.
Ebola Confirmed in the DR of Congo - Aug. 24, 2014Spoiler>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-28922290>http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/minister-people-died-ebola-congo-25104966>http://www.straitstimes.com/news/world/more-world-stories/story/congo-confirms-first-cases-ebola-20140825SpoilerTwo Ebola deaths have been confirmed in Congo, the health minister of the Central African country said Sunday.Felix Kabange Numbi said that two of eight samples from the northwest Equateur province came back positive for the deadly disease.Numbi said Congolese officials believe Ebola had killed 13 people in the region, including five health workers. He said 11 people were sick and in isolation and that 80 contacts were being traced.Congo has been hit by Ebola outbreaks seven times before, but the two deaths are the first ones in recent times, Numbi said.However, he said the infections were of a different strain than those in the outbreak in West Africa that has killed more than 1,400 people.The samples were from the region where the World Health Organization said an outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis has killed 70 people in recent weeks, he said.The WHO said last week those deaths were not Ebola-related.A total of 2,615 Ebola infections and 1,427 deaths have been recorded in the outbreak now hitting West Africa, according to figures released Friday by the WHO. Sierra Leone has been hard-hit, with at least 910 cases and 392 deaths. Other affected countries include Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria.WHO worker succumbs to EbolaSpoiler>http://q13fox.com/2014/08/24/first-world-health-organization-worker-stricken-with-ebola/>http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/who-health-official-infected-ebolaSpoiler(CNN) — For the first time, a worker with the World Health Organization has fallen ill from Ebola, the WHO told CNN on Sunday.The health worker, a man from Senegal, is in Sierra Leone and receiving care, the WHO said. No further details were given immediately.When asked how the worker contracted the virus, a WHO spokesperson said officials don’t yet know all the details.Separately, a British citizen infected with the virus in Sierra Leone is being flown home, the British Department of Health announced Sunday.The man, simply identified as William, lives in the West African nation in a home established by an American university for researchers.He is a volunteer nurse in Kenema Government Hospital, where he was working with Ebola patients, according to Dr. Robert Garry of Tulane University.Garry is manager of the university’s program that researches Ebola. The hospital is run by the government of Sierra Leone, but receives support from Tulane researchers.The UK government said a specially equipped C17 Royal Air Force plane would transport the patient, who would be transferred to an isolation unit at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.“UK hospitals have a proven record of dealing with imported infectious diseases and this patient will be isolated and will receive the best care possible,” said deputy chief medical officer John Watson in a press release.Meanwhile, Ivory Coast announced Saturday that it’s closing its borders in response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.Prime Minister Daniel Duncan signed the order that closes the land borders Ivory Coast shares with Guinea and Liberia.The borders will remain closed until further notice in an effort to prevent the Ebola virus from spreading into its territory, according to the government statement.Ebola is one of the world’s most virulent diseases, according to the WHO.The virus is introduced to human populations through the human handling of infected animals — like fruit bats, gorillas and monkeys, to name a few — found sick or dying in the rainforest.The infection is then transmitted among humans through direct contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of infected people.WHO’s maps of confirmed cases show the Ebola outbreak is limited to four West African nations — Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. So far, nearly 2,500 suspected cases have been reported in what the WHO says is the worst known outbreak of the disease.However, the WHO’s website says the survival rate for people with Ebola in this outbreak has been 47%, which is a substantial improvement over the disease’s survival rate, historically.CNN’s Aliza Kassim and Carma Hassan contributed to this report.
Fucking A, got the new numbers. And they're listed as inaccurate.Because there are more cases than listed. 2-4 fold more. I'll put up the chart in a moment.
Facking hell...
Chart updated. Take a look.They were talking about there being 12,000 or so cases and correlating deaths.They said, before then that the number of cases could get to 20,000 before it settles down. I dun belive et.
......Run for the hills?...Yea.Run for the hills.On a side note, I had a dream a couple nights ago that ebola had spread around the world and billions were dying from it. Absolutely terrifying.
If we could transfer this virus to India or China, that'd be great.
Isn't that nice.
Spoiler tfw your whole family gets Ebola and you don't know who got it first
1st Ebola case in Senegal.
Damn....
Yep. Time to take notes from The Last Ship.
With all the sick fucking people that come into my restaurant during the winter, I hope to fuck it doesn't show up in Canada. I live out of the way, but even still, travellers stop buy often, and nobody takes fucking care up here when they're sick.If I happen to catch it from somebody in town I'd probably murder the person who passed it over. We'd both be fucked anyway right?
Possible case in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada....Shit
I don't see why everyone is so flustered about this. It's just like when that outbreak of H1N1 happened. Complete over exaggeration by the media.
That Gatineau case looks unlikely to be Ebola. Apparently, that person had no contact history with anything that would be Ebolafied.You'll be fine TBlunts.
