Bushmeat -specifically bats known to carry strains of the deadly Ebola virus- is now believed to be behind the start of today's unsettling Ebola crisis.
Exactly-
the only exception I’d personally say, are the Vietnamese and Chinese....all of whom I’ve encountered have a strong work ethic
Didn’t some small breakout of Jacob Kreutzfeld -basically mad cow disease- come from people eating squirrels in KY or something?
Not that I never had one, but that’s the way I remember it...
The more food used for ethanol in gas means more bushmeat required in Africa.
The eco-nazis score another hit in their effort to protect nature by eliminating humanity.
So a bunch of bone-through-the-nose barbarians chow down on road kill and the world dies of plague. Isn’t cultural equivalence grand?
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
I think this answers your question
But it also addresses the key threat when hunting infected animals. Even in this country, few hunters use protective measures when cleaning carcasses. One can only imagine the practices in Africa...I’m also not convinced African meat preparation for Biltong is adequate to eradicate disease.
The irony is that as a delicacy, raw bats could find their way into kitchens in other countries. Right there you have the plot to Contagion.
Ironically, I just came across this story

Unnnngg Bat meat.
BATMEAT and BUSHMEAT stop eating that trash!!! Fer Petes sake!!! How foolish are these people?
NOTE that disease ridden fruit bats are the Ebola reservoir that never dies. Bats are immune to Ebola and just about everything. They live in caves piled high with their feces. Which are a disease generation machine
For many of them the US is not a nation. It is an economic zone for them to make money and to travel back and forth from their 3rd world homelands and the US. Many are like commuters and the US is just a rich suburb of Mexico, Guatemala etc to earn some big bucks.
By making money some is done by working and an equal amount by sucking off the welfare systems be they legal or illegal immigrants And they dodge taxes by owning cash business such as taxi, limo, dry cleaning, restaurants, motels etc etc etc. And illegal/legal aliens workers being paid under the table
Paying taxes is for suckers!!!! Meaning Americans born here. Is what many/most immigrants believe
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.
So far the false positive rate is 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...
Thanks for the ping!
That’s pretty much how it is
Bring back colonialism!
