Reposting Reference material.

Here's a continental view of Ebola outbreaks dated April 2014, needs updates for current conditions.

The thing that strikes one immediately is the vast distance between outbreaks. There appear to be local linear patterns but not continental ones, hightlighting the difficulty in identifying Ebola vectors and resevoirs. The leapfrogging is worrisome.

Things to consider, distances, topography and wildlife, migratory and avian territorial patterns and their parasites maybe.

Looks like Patrick Sawyer was on his way home to Minnesota when he collapsed and then died. Close call. His wife is horrified how close it came that her husband would have been patient zero in the US.

Looks like Patrick Sawyer (an American Citizen) was on his way home to Minnesota when he collapsed and then died. Close call. His wife is horrified how close it came that her husband would have been patient zero in the US. Expat, can you imagine how the stock market would have reacted?

First we hear he was on his way to some conference of finance ministers. NOW we hear he was on his way home to the US.

How many fellow passengers that he coughed, vomited or worse near DID continue on to the US?

I hate trickle truth. This is a GREAT example of that.

[Chgogal]

No clue. I guess we will find out in about three weeks.

FYI, from the article:

Manifests of the passengers and crew who travelled on the same flights as Mr Sawyer have yet to be released

I’m surprised to hear Osterholm say that. He’s usually fairly concerned about this kind of thing.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Will there be anyone left to read it?

Of course. Once information is placed on the Internet, it stays forever. It's as durable as ... say... Bitcoins. /S

[Black Agnes]

Clever.

Supposedly there were high ranking Nigerians on the plane. Who are currently on the run from the authorities. Because their ebola cases won’t be contagious or something.

Amber Brantly and the couple's two young children, ages ages 3 and 5, left Liberia for a scheduled visit to the United States on July 20, days before Kent Brantly developed symptoms of the disease. Amber Brantly and the children are in Texas under a 21-day fever watch but are not believed to have contracted the illness.

Leaving when they did, it looks as if they dodged a bullet. At least so far. They still have another 3 days for their fever watch.

Praying for everyone affected by this horrible virus.

I love Psalm 91!

I think I will read it right now.

Thank you. :^)

[Shelayne]

I’m sorry. I thought this was a new thread. So, I apologize for commenting on an older one. My mistake.

In any case, so far so good with the doctor’s family. :^)

(I posted this earlier, but it didn’t go thru... weird)

My parish priest who is from Malta, told me today that he heard there are two suspected cases of Ebola there.

They have been taking in boat people coming from Libya.

Thanks for the link. From everything I’ve gathered, the visit was scheduled to attend the wedding but they arrived a week early. Mere hours later, he checks himself into the hospital. Yes, hope they and the US dodged that bullet but it smells.
