I sure hope it doesn't spread.

The thing we should be concerned about is that the fella returning to Canada from Liberia was undoubtedly on a jetliner. From what I've read in the past, bodily secretions can include vaporized saliva in the form of sneezing/coughing. If the guy had any virus on his hands, and touched anything on the airplane that was subsequently touched by someone else...

If it's gonna happen, we should know soon.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

From the BBC article:

Quote
A Canadian man in hospital with symptoms of a haemorrhagic fever resembling Ebola has tested negative for the virus, a health official says.


But it's still only a matter of time before something highly virulent like Ebola does spread outside of Africa.

Yeah, how out of hand is it really?  How do we know who is travelling where and might be carrying what?

The latest Ebola outbreak has claimed almost 900 lives in West Africa.
Despite warnings from health officials villagers in West Africa continue to purchase and eat bats, rodents and bush meat.

Scientists report that Ebola may be present in more animals than previously thought. So far, it has been detected in chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, antelopes, porcupines, rodents, dogs, pigs and humans.

Now this…
Several studies show the deadly virus may spread through airborne transmission—

This thing could be just getting off the ground...if airbourne this could get fugly real fast...

Look, dying from a hemorrhagic fever with your internal organs reduced to goo is a small price to pay in order to avoid being called a racist. Diversity is our strength, and our enlightened rulers will hear it no other way.

OH woman cleared, NY case should have had testing disclosed by now, so that one remains suspicious.

http://www.wkrn.com/story/26201803/46-year-old-woman-hospitalized-tested-for-possible-ebola

And, as we would expect from a totalitarian regime, it is not just InfoWars reporting we are being kept in the dark, a number of lamestream sources are beginning to ask questions and point to a porous (Obama Regime) border and even the NY Slimes is blaming West African nations for lax quarrantine efforts, obviously the NYTs et al are racists!

Tests seem to indicate that on the order of 100 viral particles are sufficient to be infective (literature discusses infective doses measured less than that…) The virus is considered to be spread by droplets of infective material, but due to its incredibly low infective dose, aerosols and airborne dispersion should be seriously considered by anyone working with Ebola patients (Your mileage may vary, but I’m opting for a completely sealed suit. Level B or better).

Ebola is small. It gets into the body any number of ways. From there it attempts to get into a cell. Once there it grabs a hold of the cellular machinery and start churning out copies of itself. The cell literally begins to “ooze” out spaghetti threads of virus before ultimately falling apart, shedding thousands and thousands of viral particles to start the next infective cycle. This disease devastates tissue and moves incredibly fast. Organs are horribly damaged before you even realize there is a problem.

Ebola circulates through the blood, therefore it has easy access to the walls of the vasculature (Arteries, veins, and capillaries). It’s perfectly happy to jump into the epithelium lining these vessels, replicating within them and ultimately destroying the cells lining the vessels. As the vessels are damaged, the body responds by attempting to “seal” the leaks in the vessel walls by clotting. The body goes into a clotting overdrive trying to patch all of the damage that is happening throughout the vasculature. Very quickly, the body uses up all of it’s clotting capability.

In a perverse turn, this hyperactive clotting attempt allows the body to bleed freely. From everywhere. Patients will cry blood colored tears, blood will ooze from under their fingernails, their gums will bleed around their teeth. This bleeding isn’t limited to the outside world, either. Within their body, bleeding is happening within the gut as the GI tract lining is destroyed and shed. Some patients freely urinate blood. Early deaths may happen for patients who have bleeding in the brain. The central theme is that the bleeding starts to happen everywhere.

However, the virus is pretty cagey. It doesn’t (typically) devastate the lungs, heart, or brain. The patient is still going, surviving as their body is being destroyed by a runaway virus. This virus is hijacking almost every cellular process it can to make more copies of itself.

Yeah, learn from West Africa's mistakes...chief among them, burn the bodies, don't toss them in the street or stupid crap like that!  This disease is nasty, as Trap's info above illustrates, it is not like you can don a mask like the Chinese and go about your day...there is just too many ways this can infect you and then you are a walking plague-giver who will kill others...

If we get an outbreak, the silence of the government and the MFM is going to set streets and buildings on fire!

So what about imported produce?  A lot of fruit comes from Africa.  My concern is not that an Ebola-infected person might have handled it, so much as the possibility that an infected fruit bat might have fed on the same crop.  It is currently believed that the primary route of transmission is fruit bats feeding on plants, leaving their saliva on it, and then a primate or human eats from the same plants and ingests the viral particles left behind by the bat's saliva.

I think Europe imports more African fruit than we do, but if you look at the natural range of the fruit bat in that image above, it could potentially affect most tropical fruit imports.  Bananas, oranges, all kinds of stuff.

Certainly a cause to buy local grown stuff, if I have to pass on exotic fruits so be it, we here can at least get a wide variety of home-grown stuff.

But the big take away I get from this is, much like what Weisshaupt was getting to, is the sheer hubris of thinking that a) Africa in particular given their track record and stupid tribal customs or b) the rest of the world given their lack of medical breakthroughs for one, can combat this thing if it reaches the point of no return!

What's with all these damn people being evacuated to their home countries?  What, are they trying to help it spread into a global epidemic?  I get that leaving them in Africa is basically a death sentence (I would argue that going there in the first place was a death sentence) but why bring them all over the world?

Seems there should be a medical facility established somewhere on a remote island for this sort of thing.  Or what about a medical ship?  The Navy has hospital ships that can rival any land based hospital.  Sloppy containment and sterilization practices (remember somebody only has to screw up once) would be far less dangerous in the middle of the ocean than in major urban hospitals.
