Lol, all these people so paranoid about big government phone tapping them, reading their emails etc, yet they think they would need to resort to putting a plastic sticker on their mailbox to ID who goes to the FEMA camps.

It's from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Return-Black-D.../dp/0470090006 which I haven't read, only found from googling.

You also realize they don't say "it was ebola" and that there were multiple periods of plague which could have been different diseases right?

I'll give some more links for you not to read:

http://www.livescience.com/15937-bla...ue-debate.html

Strange to think that scientists are challenging long-held beliefs huh? That never happens.

Are you one of those people who only have a passing interest in something, come up with some random unsupported hypothesis, and then believe that to be the truth in contradiction to pretty much every expert that has spent their lives working in that field? Sheer lunacy.
Your question is answered.

And yet the two most indicative symptoms (tumors/welts in the inner thigh/armpits, gangrene in extremities) of the black death are not present at all in ebola cases. But keep on trying to hammer that round peg into that square hole because it sounds like a cool idea. That's clearly how science works.

"In short, ebola is unlikely to become the new bubonic plague." That's how I've felt about it as well.

I will say though for those in Africa it's pretty awful. We're fortunate to have all we do in prevention and healthcare institutes.

If one is going to be frightened of Ebola they should already be frightened by a myraid of issues in the world. There're so many things we can die from. Admittedly, it's far worse in developing countries, but the shadow of death hangs over us all. One wonders how developing nations survive, considering developed nations suffer too.

Leading causes of death in the US:
1 Heat Attack
2 Cancer
3 Chronic lower respiratory diseases
4 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases)
5 Accidents (unintentional injuries)
6 Alzheimer's disease
7 Diabetes
8 Influenza and Pneumonia
9 Kidney disease: Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis
10 Intentional self-harm (suicide): ~40,000 deaths

* The top 10 causes account for ~75% of all deaths
* The top 3 causes account for over 50% of all deaths

The difference between developed countries and developing is stark. For example, 30,000 people in India die per year from Rabies. Rabies is a ~100% fatal viral infection if not vaccinated against before it enters the nervous system and can incubate for many years there. In the US, by comparison, only a couple people die per year on average. And yet Rabies is almost never detected in the sufferer until the final stages of the infection. This is a combination of the sufferer being unaware and the high cost and time involved detecting it in its incubation stage. Hence, Rabies also tends to spread via organ donations in developed countries. Human to human infection by other means is not yet documented.

Much of the high death toll due to Rabies in India is related to them not vaccinating enough animals. And the comparably higher cost of a human vaccination means vaccinating the animals is the best option.

Btw, thousands of animals per year are killed in the US because of suspect Rabies infection. Bats, by far, are probably the greatest Rabies' host. Thankfully, I think most don't come out during the day.

In any case, OP, you're right. If trained professionals in protective gear are failing, average civilians will almost surely fail hard. That doesn't mean Ebola is a serious threat to life in the US, but it might be if it spreads. Yet think for a moment: If it ever becomes bad in the US, it'll be living hell for developing countries.

I hope they make a vaccine. Developing nations need a lot of help. God, I could barely read a story in National Geographic about the Aids/genocide crisis in Africa in the 1980's. Those people went through hell.

You're probably correct about Ebola not being a huge threat but I just wish that those in charge, like the CDC, would do their goddamned jobs and act to protect us by providing the correct training to healthcare providers, at the very fucking least. It really makes me concerned about sending troops to Africa who aren't properly trained. They're gonna be handling fluids, etc. This whole EbolaCare thing has shown us (the people) that we as a country are not prepared for a pandemic, nor are we being protected from anything because of bullshit reasons, i.e. political correctness being concern #1.

An example: I was watching the news a few days ago and they had this woman on, talking shit that we (the US) want to close incoming flights from infected areas because we're fucking racist. That sort of bullshit is what's gonna give the republicans the senate in a couple weeks. Fucking idiots. They should know people are sick and tired of the race card being played for literally everything.

Lol. Poor Obama. Even black people are starting to hate his ass. And can you even believe the person with no medical experience he appointed to be the new Ebola czar? Haha!! Worst president ever. Good legacy there, Barry. Maybe Michelle should be president, even though she always looking like she's chewing her own face, the ugly bitch with the nasty-ass school lunches. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014...spell-out-why/

The whole reason Obama had to appoint an Ebola Czar is because idiot republicans blocked the man he appointed to be the Surgeon General. The reason?

He's pro-gun control.

Republicans, however, noted that Democrats who control the Senate could have confirmed Murthy without any help from Republicans under rule changes enacted last year that allow confirmation with a simple majority.

Senate majority leader Harry Reid has declined to put the nomination up for a vote, with a leadership aide telling the Globe in March that there was uncertainty over whether some Democrats would support it. The White House said at the time that it was readjusting its strategy after a nomination for another high-level post failed. (A White House spokesman, asked to comment on the nomination, responded by e-mail that the surgeon general plays “an important role in the education of Americans on public health issues.”)

“Senator Reid has not yet tried to bring up the nomination, due, no doubt, to the bipartisan opposition,” Don Stewart, spokesman for minority leader Mitch McConnell, said in an e-mail.
So what happened here? Why did the senate (democrats) not want this guy?
