ebola is cyclical and has not “gone away” at all... BECAUSE is takes longer to kill, THAT is why is it spreading further each cycle as those “running away” can travel farther... but just because they can travel farther doesn’t mean they don’t succumb to it.
Each cycle since the 1970s it spreads in wider circles.
In the next cycle coming soon, it will become deadly to the US due to political correctness and open borders.
By the way, you will see it break out in ISIS, Syria, Iraq and other places of bloody mess and human puss with little facility for hospitals and backward Islamic extremism, then come to Europe as well as Mecca and then when it hits Kolkata (Calcutta) India that will be the disaster to the world and it will be here in the US thanks to companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter and the other 1 percenters of the Democratic Party.
Whatever Hillary has, it is either drug abuse related or she got it from an illegal alien.
Meh. I remember the dire warnings even here on FR about how devastating Ebola was. It wasn’t. Even where the main outbreak was, it really wasn’t.
Thing is, I have a theory about why it just doesn’t hit european american (or native american) populations all that bad. History states that both were severely hit by plagues that wiped out from 1/3 to 90% of the population (the latter applies to native americans before Columbus but after the Vikings arrived).
We are the progeny of the survivors. i.e. much tougher when it comes to disease. The same is not true of the African and Asian populations. The weak genes have not been effectively weeded out by nature yet.
But this is just an hypothesis based on marginal knowledge. The thing is, when these diseases hit here, they always - and I mean ALWAYS - fizzle. Truth be told, I think part of it is because the breathless reporting is not warranted in the first place.
I remember during Ebola I said that when 3,000 Americans die within a 12 month period, I’ll become concerned. Obviously that did not happen.
