It would do everything it could to deal with it. But some things are just to strong for us. AIDS, Smallpox, etc. You have to understand that these things are not just invaders, they are trying to spread, trying to survive. They are doing everything they can to continue the spread of their "species". We are the means for many viruses to do just that. It's not that your immune system can't fight it, it could, it would try, it's the fact that viruses depend on your body trying to fight it. Your immune response, coughing, sneezing, puking, sweating etc. that is how they spread. They make your body fight them, so they can invade another host.

Does that help?

It does, but is that not the essence of the battle? The body fights by trying to expel the invader through sneezing, puking, sweating, peeing, and diahrea. It has worked perfectly for me so far. Ebola is different from influenza, on the same level as AIDS? My body can't beat this one?

The flu is different. It attacks different things.

Ebola is hemorrhagic. It makes you bleed out. It attacks everything that isn't bone. Breaks down connective tissue, and attacks your circulatory system, resulting in hemorrhaging under the skin. You body attempts to respond by clotting, but due to the extensive damage it literally creates a back flow. Circulation slows, and what everyone though was a rash at first turns into large hemtomas under the skin. Yes you will cough, yes you will puke, you'll have stomach issues. But none of that matters, because the virus has turned your own blood flow against you. This is why the best treatment is additional units of blood and hydration.

Hemorrhagic fever really is not anything to screw around with.

Thank you. I'll do more research. My sincerest appreciation.
 Quoting: Evil Cretin Heretic


Hemorrhagic fevers usually cause death due to the organ failure such as the liver due to excessive hemorrhaging as well as bone marrow failure.
