EBOLA in the US

What do you think about it?

It could be bad news. I think we are better equipped to contain it but that is a relative statement; I do not know how you would quantify it.

he made his choices.he could have been treated there.if it is so benign then how did those 2 educated doctors contract it.if they flew all the needed equip to africa would have been wiser and could have helped more people and less dangerous and the second doctor could have received timely treatment

I think its the most stupidest thing in the world to bring a sickness like that over here. We have enough sicknesses here without adding to it. My wife who is a nurse said the survival rate is poor. I think they should have left him at the border with the illegals trying to come in. :hide:

Some of the people that have been exposed to it are traveling across the US. I caught part of the news that they were telling today when I was getting in and out of the truck.

First symptoms, start typically in two to three weeks after contracting the disease.
Fever, sore throat, muscle pains, headaches. Typically nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea follow along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. At some point people begin to have bleeding problems. Bleeding may present itself through reddening of the eyes, and bloody vomit. Bleeding into the skin. Bleeding from mucus membranes, coughing up blood and blood in the stool. Bleeding symptoms often indicates a worse prognosis and this blood loss can result in death.

The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal or person. It can become a sexually transmitted disease by the male up to two months after being infected.

No treatment for the disease, but include giving oral hydration or intravenous fluids. It has a high mortality rate from 50-90%.

Did I miss something--is there a confirmed Ebola Zaire case "in the wild" here in the USA?

Here's a little info about how quickly the current outbreak began and how it spread so quickly:

Patient Zero in the Ebola outbreak, researchers suspect, was a 2-year-old boy who died on Dec. 6, just a few days after falling ill in a village in Guéckédou, in southeastern Guinea. Bordering Sierra Leone and Liberia, Guéckédou is at the intersection of three nations, where the disease found an easy entry point to the region.

A week later, it killed the boy’s mother, then his 3-year-old sister, then his grandmother. All had fever, vomiting and diarrhea, but no one knew what had sickened them.


Two mourners at the grandmother’s funeral took the virus home to their village. A health worker carried it to still another, where he died, as did his doctor. They both infected relatives from other towns. By the time Ebola was recognized, in March, dozens of people had died in eight Guinean communities, and suspected cases were popping up in Liberia and Sierra Leone — three of the world’s poorest countries, recovering from years of political dysfunction and civil war.

With the healthcare and military systems in North America, I don't think you have much to worry about. The health systems can identify and isolate the individuals infected and the military can eliminate those who might buck the system, thinking that their freedom is being impaired. It is one of those diseases where the safety of the many outweighs the freedom of those infected; might be sad, but true.

A tried and true way to avoid getting infected is to stay the h3ll out of Africa. Any twit that goes over there during an outbreak and isn't a medical professional in a full isolation suit is getting what they deserve.

No chance, right ?

accidental breeder - :lol2: So much to learn if you stick around. Typical Christian comment does not offend me but umm... I would treat lightly when making comments such as that on this board you will make some enemies real quick.

I thought he was asking if YOU were a typical christian Sky.

I took it as he was saying typical Christian to say that or what. Either way it wasn't meant as racial hatred it was meant as a way to protect the border. If people knew ebola was there they wouldn't be trying to break in.

I'm still looking for the "hate' in your post. Saw some common sense stuff but no hate.
