The Nihilist (OP) User ID: 55462400  Canada04/14/2014 08:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Boston Considers Banning Deadliest Pathogens From New Biolab Quoting: The Nihilist Boston is set this week to debate whether to ban a new, downtown biodefense laboratory from studying some of the world's deadliest disease agents. A Wednesday city council hearing is expected to consider a proposed citywide prohibition on so-called "Biosafety Level 4" research, which can involve diseases for which there are no known cures. The initiative marks the latest local pushback against Boston University's effort to pursue the sensitive pathogen studies at its recently completed National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories. In his draft ordinance, Councilor Charles Yancey said conducting such research at the site could enable an agent such as Ebola or Marburg to escape into the city, either by accident or deliberate action. "I am not convinced we really need to invite that possibility to the city of Boston," Yancey told the Boston Globe in remarks published in a Sunday editorial.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 56820220 Mexico04/14/2014 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ebola Hunters Turn to Dogs By Anne Casselman|Sunday, July 24, 2005 After epidemiologist Eric Leroy saw dogs scavenge the bloody remains of hunting expeditions in the jungles of the African country of Gabon, he wondered if they could contract the deadly Ebola virus. Some 439 blood samples later, Leroy’s fears were confirmed. Dogs—especially rural dogs—carry Ebola antibodies, proof that they were exposed to the virus before developing an apparent immunity. “If the dog can be infected, it can excrete the virus for a few days,” he says. “During this time it can be itself infectious for the human community living near the dogs.” The study has led to an important tool for epidemiologists. Ebola antibodies in dogs are an indication of virus circulation, key information in regions where tracing the disease’s sporadic and unusual outbreaks has been difficult. When “there are a lot of dogs with antibodies, this means that a lot of dogs were in contact with the virus,” says Leroy, who works for the International Center for Medical Research in Gabon. “This means that the risk is very present . . . higher than elsewhere.” [link to discovermagazine.com] |

We had just landed in Conakry, the capital of Guinea. In the fields right outside the airport, a young woman was in tears. She started to wail and shout in Susu, one of the 40 languages spoken in this tiny country of 12 million people. The gathered crowd became silent and listened intently. The young man sitting next to me quietly translated, although I already had my suspicions. He told me the woman's husband had died of Ebola, and then quickly ushered us away." ... "It has gone "viral," and now the hope is that it doesn't go global." It begs credulity that anyone with any connection to Ebola would even open their mouth, let alone be conveniently located, weeping and wailing, next to the airport Gypta is arriving at. Did he mention that this shit is not only in Guinea? Looks like the part with "Remember these numbers" got edited out. Dafuq that's supposed to mean? And let me throw in "emerging diseases." Who they think they're fooling? Yeah that was the first thing I thought. One of two things happened there. 1. Gupta was making the whole thing up. Grandstanding, in desperate need of a story OR 2. The thing has become so out of control, that the who has NOT tracked down all family members (not even close) associated with people who've died of ebola. Seriously, the guy probably took a few weeks to die and his wife is out crying at an airport? WTF? Also from the CNN article: For the next 21 days (the outer range of the incubation period) the woman we saw will be monitored for a fever or any early signs she may have contracted Ebola from her husband. If she exhibits symptoms, she will be isolated and treated with fluids, oxygen and nutrition. It may not be an ideal location, but she is apparently under observation. Well then CNN comes in to save the day! Are they just thinking we're idiots or are they not aware of the fact that her husband was probably STARTING to get sick roughly 21 days ago. Which means she could very well be very far into her sickness. When he went into the hospital, she was obviously not held for observation. So she's had more than 3 weeks out in the wild to potentially infect other people.The WHO has no control of this if this is true/ |

It does not intend to remain inactive, according to these sources. Mokhtar Belmokhtar, Algerian jihadist veteran, is one of the most sought after in northern Mali men. He knew he was hounded by French troops and by U.S. drones. The United States has price on his head for $ 5 million.

From the Trivial Pursuit game I played this weekend: "Ebola, which has an incubation period of two days..."  I wouldn't count on "Trivial Pursuit" as being a perfect information source. I CAN have an incubation period of 2-3 days if the viral load is big enough, but if you get hit by a microscopic amount of the virus, it could take up to 21 days for you to exhibit symptoms.

Brother, you have done your homework! Are you prepped up? Oregano oil, thieves oil, n95 masks, and so much more? Food, water, water filters is a necessary. 52 days, then the show really begins? Man, in 6 weeks I am flying back to Indiana, dude this sucks...........I'm walking LOL!!! God bless you bro! thank you for your time and energy that your putting into all your numbers. Interesting. I don't have anything prepped and I've never really considered prepping before, but this seems like it might just get serious enough for me to have to at least think about popping to B&Q etc. especially after I watched Contagion the other day! Where should I start?! N-95 dust masks, Tyvek suits, latex gloves, chlorine, duct tape, plastic sheeting, lots of food and water, ammo, there are just tons of good things posted here to many too mention dig through the thread “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity” ― Sun-Tzu, A Arte da Guerra |

Is this air born .. or through respiratory fluids? Okay I haven't been following I am not We don't know that it's airborne. It's possible. It is in all other fluids, mucus and saliva (so, "airborne" via sneeze or cough, but the droplets will settle), blood, sweat, tears, semen, and other mucus. Truly airborn, and it becomes a nightmare.

Case numbers edge upward in West Africa Ebola outbreak [link to www.cidrap.umn.edu] Lisa Schnirring Apr 14, 2014 Guinea's health ministry today reported 10 more infections compatible with Ebola virus disease (EVD), as hospital officials in the country's capital probe a cluster of cases linked to a funeral, one of which involved a doctor who died from his infection, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Africa reported today. The new EVD cases in Guinea lift the country's outbreak total to 168. Seven new deaths have been reported, pushing the fatality number to 108. So far 71 of the infections have been confirmed by lab tests. As of Apr 11, the most recent illness onsets are Apr 10, in patients from Conakry, the capital, and Guekedou, an area in the forested area of southeastern Guinea, near where the outbreak is thought to have started. The onset date falls well within the disease's 2- to 21-day incubation period, a sign that that the outbreak is ongoing. The WHO said doctors at the Donka Hospital isolation facility in Conakry are probing a cluster of patients who had funeral contact with a relative who died on Apr 1 from a suspected malaria infection. Two of the contacts were admitted on Apr 12 and tested positive for EVD. An internal medicine doctor who had treated the patient and later died is also part of the transmission chain. The WHO said he had symptoms of EVD but no bleeding and that his postmortem samples were positive for the virus. Multiple snips above. Comment: This would be bad. Has the virus changed? Is it being spread by casual contact with people who are not severely ill? WWJBD-What Would Jimmy Buffett Do "If it's wet and not yours, don't touch it." Oregon H1N1 Summit speaker |
