*Yawn* Ebola in the Congo. When there isn’t some filthy disease raging in that part of the world that will be news. Honest to God. After decades of foreign aid and countless ‘’mission’’ to teach these aborigines not to piss in the drinking water why does this still happen?
It was a bit spooky.
We haven’t had one of these in a while. And the virologists of the world rejoice.
Aids
Ebola
Marburg
West Nile
VEE
Smallpox
Lassa Fever
Tularemia
And who says Africa hasn’t contributed to the world?
What are the early symptoms of ebola? Is it like the flu?
Thanks, Africa.
BIG>(How many millions of dollars did Democratic Republic of the Congo pay to 'our' people to hear 'speeches'?
Didn't Bill the Whoremonger try to give a speech there?
And even the corrupt State Department told him 'no'?
Well whatever bribes they paid they're NOT going to work on President Trump. Next time the 'Congo' should spend their money on their people NOT on paying thinly disguised bribes to our 'retired' Deep State thugs)
yeah, right...millions more down a rat hole....
what they really need is not "technicians" or "epidemiologists" but nursing aides to clean up the patients and food workers/laundry workers etc to feed and cloth them.
Dear Leader and the Mooch should fuel the jet! Maybe load many of their closest friends and former staff personnel for a mercy trip to the homeland....

Bring out yer dead ping.
"An outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in two eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
has spread to a major international trading hub with almost a million residents, Congolese health officials said Wednesday.
So far, health officials have identified 127 probable and confirmed cases. Eighty-seven people have died.
..officials had identified at least 4,300 people who had come into contact with someone infected with the Ebola virus,
and more than half of those people remain under watch in case they develop symptoms.
Ethnic violence, and attacks from Islamist guerrillas based in Uganda, made some of that critical contact-tracing far more difficult.
This is the second Ebola outbreak this year in which the new vaccine has been deployed.
The vaccine, developed during the waning days of an Ebola outbreak in the West African nations of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea,
was earlier deployed to Equateur Province, a region about 750 miles west of North Kivu.
None of those who received the vaccine in Equateur subsequently fell ill."
( FReeper note - less than 2 weeks ago, the death toll was 67, so the virus has doubled the fatalities within that time.
The good news is that the experimental vaccine appears to be working )
They have a city named Mangina?
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...
