How many BATS are there?........................
EBOLA? I thought it was racist to describe a virus the location where it was initially located....ie. Wuhan (Ebola is an African River, btw)
How many strains are there? Article sez this is the Sudan strain, not the Zaire strain.Bring Out Your DeadThere only need to be enough to break us all..
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
dynachrome :” Uganda declared an outbreak of Ebola after a case of the relatively rare Sudan strain was confirmed in the country,
the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.
The WHO’s Africa office said in a statement the case was confirmed after testing a sample from a 24-year-old man in the country’s Mubende district.
Ugandan health authorities investigated six suspicious deaths in the district this month.
The country’s health ministry said the 24-year-old patient died after displaying symptoms.
“There are currently eight suspected cases who are receiving care in a health facility,” WHO Africa said,
adding that it is helping Uganda’s health authorities with the investigation and deploying staff to the affected area. “
“There is an ebola vaccine, according to WHO; a vaccination has been approved against the Zaire strain but inoculation against the Sudan strain hasn’t been tested “
How much of our treasures will the UN send them?
