Ebola, as R650 says, is a hemorrhagic viral disease of which there are five variants. Hemorrhagic viruses attack blood cells in mucual membranes and the GI tract. The rabbit disease RHD/RCD (Calicivirus) is Ebola for rabbits. Nasty nasty illness.
Ebola has only been known in human populations since 1976 which is similar to HIV incidence, both being viruses which have crossed the species barrier.
The current outbreak is Ebola Zaire which is one of the less fatal variants - about 60%, but dangerous because it has more time to be spread through contact with bodily fluids.
Ebola however is not easily transmitted. Influenza is magnitudes better at it.
It doesn't matter how dangerous it is as a disease it's the fear factor that is important, it encourages mass medical inervention by a frightened world populance!
God help those who resist the planned vaccines and serums ... the frightened populace will kill them or drive them into the hands of the medical saviours!
Never get in the way of drug company and it's perceived fortune $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Yeah I'm not too convinced just yet. Something's obviously different about this outbreak and the biggest mistake we could make is making assumptions based on what we currently know about Ebola when it could have mutated somehow and caught us by surprise.
The US have the right idea whisking away their infected and are no doubt testing up a storm.
I'll feel a lot more comfortable once the daily infection rate stops its exponential growth and flattens out instead. The longer it continues the closer it gets to that flashpoint where panic sets in, people start running and containment becomes a lot harder.
im just getting over a case of ebola. Loooove opiates.
Thats a good link. At the bottom of the blog is a link to another article. Here is a piece from that.
"The “hot zone” areas of Ebola, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, have been decimated for a long time: war, extreme poverty, malnutrition, starvation, contaminated water supplies, exposure to toxic industrial chemicals, vast toxic overuse of antibiotics, pesticides (some of them banned in other countries), expired and unrefrigerated medicines, vaccines (which, when given to people whose immune systems are already hanging on by a thread, can be lethal)".
If the drug companies do come up with a cure, it will only be the rich who will be able to buy it.

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
See-oh-el- bola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye ebola la-la-la-la ebola
sooooo in the meantime
Dont worry

For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
It must be fairly easy to transmit as a fair few aid workers and doctors have been infected now and you would assume they have been taking the right precautions and wearing the right kit.
I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..
