The ongoing Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has now reached Butembo, a city of over one million residents near the Ugandan border, according to the Associated Press.
...So far, there are over 470 confirmed cases and more than 270 deaths due to the viral hemorrhagic fever, which has an extremely high fatality rate. Another 100-plus cases are under investigation, and Congo’s health ministry confirmed an additional 13 cases on Thursday, the highest one-day total since this latest outbreak was declared in August.
This Ebola virus outbreak in the Congo is second only to the outbreak in West Africa in 2014, which killed over 11,000 people.

I wouldnt worry that much about Ebola. I’ll tell you why. It’s so deadly that it kills the person before it spreads to the next person. That’s not the most effective way to spread a pandemic. In fact, we should be more terrified of the common flu. Last year it killed 90,000, typically it kills around 40,000.
Even worse would be if that infected person has (or gets) a job that puts them in contact with other travelers, during the time when they’re contagious but not obviously sick. Hotel laundry, airport restaurant, gas station attendant, etc. There would be no way to track down all the people they exposed.
Simply not accurate.
Ebola infection can be transmitted by feces, blood and vomit.
You don’t show symptoms for a few days...meanwhile, every sneeze, cough and poop carries the virus.
You could be home in St Louis before you start puking blood...

So theoretically, then, massive doses of Vitamin C should help the symptoms.
Yes; massive in the case of Ebola being up to 500grams in divided doses in a 24-hr period, intravenously in Ringer’s solution, as either ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate, buffered. I believe that is the protocol.

Trump will ban travel from the Congo, then a judge will overturn it.
Where are the Ebola is less dangerous than a fever blisters crowd? They need to be on here singing ‘don’t worry be happy’
War I good for Plague!
I would be more concerned about ebola crossing with a flu virus than HIV. Birds can carry flu viri and birds can fly intercontinental...then whatever their vectors are will pass it along.
Ebola will not cross to birds. And even if it did, it would kill them in short order.
i think it could happen.
There are different blood systems in birds. Ebola is not the flu. The flu is a respiratory disease, it is a blood borne disease. Two very different ways of contracting it, and spreading it.
One is a droplet transmission and the other is a fluid to fluid contact.
The two don’t mix, no matter how badly you may think it’s possible.
You don’t know who I am or my background...try lecturing Mother Abigail. It is possible. I know what I am talking about probably more than you and I have been on the front lines of these threads, though it have been close to 30 years since I actually played with viri.
