Windex is better.
Wrong. Each cycle gets worse. All along the Congo river are forms of hemorrgagic fever. Not just ebola. The first known case was found by Belgium nuns in the 1950s in a hospital in the Congo but wasn’t called ebola, not the 1976 cases. Each cycle since then, the virus has “weakened” and this has made it MORE dangerous as it can spread further as people run away instead of wiping out the entire village in 24 hours.
NIGERIA helped firewall the last spread because they put in strong border controls as well as LOCAL area border controls in sectors of the country, this helped.
They put in controls we don’t.
It isn’t just TB, Zika, ebola, yellow fever, it is a horde of diseases and dangers presented by our open borders, illegal aliens, “refugees” who are coming in hordes now due to political correctness and no immigration health checks and firewalls. You are wrong. All this is a serious threat, and the same political correctness in the name of cheap labor is now attacking and censoring science.
This is what you get from all that multi cultural crap along with porous borders and no proper checks and balances of whatever comes in to this country, and that’s just the beginning. TB, syphilis, gonorrhea and many others were far and few in between, and now with all that unchecked crap coming in to this country, once again they are on the rise and beginning to multiply.
Thank all those socialists in our administration along with many republicans in name only (RINOS) and the ignorant public who keeps voting for them, for the GIFTS (diseases) which never stop giving, and could have been so easily avoided. Yes I am all for helping people, but help them and assist them solving their problems at the location where they are, but don’t bring them in to your own home as you will have problems here and it doesn’t solve any of the problems they just ran away from, if anything it will just get worse.
I get that.
But, so far, so good.
Thing is, I DO think it will get REALLY bad, and soon. But I’m not talking just about disease. You see, I’m an aderent to Biblical end times prophesy and I think the world is on a precipice. And I think we’re going over the edge this time, almost certainly within a year or two.
Frankly, I expect the US to be in VERY sad shape before January 20th. The debt fueled economy started sputtering in 2008. It’s just about out of gas now. And I think plenty of our upper elected officials know it. They know we are past a human solution to this mess. We’re not even running on fumes any more. We’re coasting.
So all this exotic disease stuff is just annoying background noise for me, at least for now. Get back to me next summer. ;-)
Yes.
Once again, nothing good ever came out of Africa.
Yes. Let the hate flow through you. Good.
A person who medically exams foreign doctors here to work, intern or do a residency or fellowship says that it is very concerning how many convert on TB tests and are deficient in immunizations.
Why move them out?
Zina “causes severe damage to the carrier in terms of physical and mental disability. “
Not true. Zina is almost always a mild infection in adults. The virus clears from the blood stream in 1-2 weeks.
“Now a deadly form of “yellow fever” is spreading in the African Congo that resembles Ebola...” “...the toxic phase is fatal in 20 to 50 percent cases but the Congo case will be likely a worse case scenario.”
Not true. Yellow fever is related to Zika, not the hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola. Less than 15% of yellow fever cases go into the toxic phase although there can be a 20-50% death rate in untreated toxic phase cases.
“It is in fact yet another hemorrhagic virus.”
No, it isn’t.
“We do not have “the shots”, either.”
Yes, we do. I, myself, got vaccinated against yellow fever almost 20 years ago. Yellow fever vaccination is required for entry into many countries, and is a good idea for most tropical countries. It is a common vaccination and easy to get.
While I am concerned about the transmission of diseases and the rapid spread of some diseases due to the ease of international travel, yellow fever doesn’t pose a threat to the mainland US.
It helped Memphis back in 1876. Maybe it will help the city again.
Possibly another factor would be the personal and the public hygiene practices found here in the US — for now.
Yes. I read a story once about vaccines and it argued that the reason so many diseases are eradicated in the US is not due to amazing drug discoveries so much as simply improving our hygiene.
And as you said: for now.
You are right. The press is ignoring the yellow fever epidemic in Angola that has spread to the Congo.
There are a lot of Chinese working in Angola and a few cases were diagnosed in China.
