Fortunately, it only seems to thrive in the jungle. Perhaps if we were only cutting down the rainforests faster, we'd kill off Ebola at the same time.

Did that paper really use the title "Bush Meat"???

That is really tasteless!

Even worse, grab a few sick people and put them on a plane. End of story (and most of the world).

Let's see what we have:

Ebola outbreak in Congo, China sending troops into Congo and last but not least:Fear spreads in China over mystery lung virus

I remember reading it....too chilled out to post on it!
Of course the idea of west nile being the test run occurred.

China might want a sample of the ebola virus for its germ warfare collection.

What does the U.N. do? Are we the only country that funds the starving and inflicted? Where has all the U.N. UNICEF money in orange boxes been going to, Koffi's limos?

Ding! Ding! Ding! No more calls, we have a winner!

Okay. Did you read the one about West Nile Virus causing polio?

Yes, I saw the polio connection too... the ebola/aviary connection is a whole different matter though - doomsday illness.
