Ebola is black ... because it is from Africa. That is why it is such a hot issue with Barky who insists we cannot close off Africa so save lives in Europe, USA and Asia ...

We must suffer for slavery by allowing African ebola to take its toll on Americans.

Pfft!

Ebola is black ... because it is from Africa.

It's overwhelmingly from Africa, but apparently a different strain of Ebola comes from the Philippines and Indonesia.

The Reston, VA outbreak in 1989-1990 came from Crab-eating Macaques imported from the Philippines. Initially, it was believed that the Macaques became infected on the flight to the U.S. The importer, Hazelton Laboratories, also imported other types of primates.

However, subsequent imports of Crab-eating Macaques from the Philippines were also infected with Reston Ebola, and an outbreak of Reston Ebola occurred at a monkey export facility in the Philippines in 1996.

Pigs in the Philippines have also tested positive for Reston Ebola.

So, Africa is primarily the source of Ebola, but Ebola lurks elsewhere. "Elsewhere" includes the Philippines and Indonesia.

. . . and Jesse Jackson has no business being in Dallas to insert himself in the Ebola issue.
