Read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston, a mutated Ebola has already gone airborn in the United States. It's called the "Reston Virus" and the only thing that saved us was that it only effected monkeys and didn't jump to humans. So far, any way.

I have been trying to warn people for days now, but everyone is so caught up with the war in the middle east which is huge but prophecy is being played out right now, read the bible. Turn back to the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I have been told from within that people are going to start dying, it will be virus an epidemic unlike this world has ever seen. Get right with Christ and repent of your sins, this is no joke..It's coming. So many people have had dreams about this, just go outside and look around actually look at the people around you. Many seem to be in a zombie state already and look sickly, so many people are coughing for no reason also. This is a targeted epidemic that is coming, look at the Denver murals.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2595311


This is old news. Joe Neubarth pointed out on this forum in 2005 that the illness that was spreading all across China was a varient of Ebola that the Chinese had developed in their Bioweapons Lab in Szechuan. It was killing thousands of people in that province, but since it was so lethal the virus added to its own destruction along with the Chinese People's Army exterminating whole villages to keep it contained. The soldiers who were involved in that mass extermination were marched into a massive coal mine and the entrance was blasted shut. So much for any of them passing on the virus.

The Chinese were ruthless in trying to contain it. What they did not contain was a varient of the virus that was passed in pigs. If any human came into contact with pig meat and had even minor nicks on his or her skin they died within a day or two of contact. That means they lost a hell of a lot of butchers in China. That strain of ebola was not an air passable strain, so it was eventually contained, too once the herds that were contaminated were disposed of.

Where's the evidence that Ebola causes anything at all?

There are dozens of causes for hemorragic fever, and Ebola is just a bogus cause put forward by the panic business.

Re: **** BREAKING! Ebola may go airborne! ****
This is super old news. As in, two decades old news.

The Reston strain of the ebola virus (aka the Reston virus) has been airborne for a long time, and as in the op, was discovered in macaques. But it isn't really infectious to humans so all the people freaking out in here need to chill the fuck out. Yes, the Reston virus is airborne. Yes, it can be transmitted from pigs to macaques. This is all very old news.

It is totally non-pathogenic to humans though. Calm down!

I am just a sinner trying to make it to heaven!

Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But only 13 of all of the known cases have been traced to NO CONTACT WITH CONTAMINATED INDIVIDUALS OR ANIMALS. Meaning even if a very few cases were from airborne transmission, it's an extremely difficult route for this virus to infect a person, and therefore not an immediate threat.

However, the RNA of the Ebola virus is nonsegmented, meaning it is one of the least likely for rampant mutation. Compare to a segmented virus, like influenza and you'll see how many different variations there are in contrast.

If one form of Ebola can be transmitted through air, you can count on labs having found the gene and added it to a human-fatal version.

5 stars cause it was news to me about the air-borne ebola.

There are, however, so many other illnesses that have been weaponized, it really isn't important in that regard. It would be a real problem, however, if this form combined in the wild with the human-fatal version, especially because of the long incubation period of the illness. It would likely be halfway around the world before we knew what had happened.
