I think that overseas travel is about to become trickier.

So.....double masks, 12 feet apart and voting from home....only solutions!?

We need to consult with The Science ™ - aka Fauci - first.

Ebola! Ebola in town! Don't touch your friend.

I wouldn't expect any issue with travel unless there is clear evidence of person-to-person spread within a country.

Ebola is just not very transmissible unless you are in close contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.

It goes without saying that if you are in the middle seat of a flight from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Easterwood and the person on the aisle has blood coming out of their eyes or coming of their whatever, you should nope right off of the plane. But the hemorrhagic fevers are not like respiratory viruses in which a casual contact could spark off an epidemic.

Unless the government and or NGO's want there to be another epidemic during a Trump presidency.

Don't have sex with someone else from a foreign country, and don't lay on dead bodies during a funeral, and you should be good.

At this point, Ebola is mostly an STD.

Who cares

Don't worry...the CDC, the WHO, and the MSM will get right to work on changing the rules of transmission (it is not like we have not seen that movie before)

Sad...those orgs ruined trust b/c covid politics. We don't really know who to believe anymore.

I hope that you are correct. My inquietude arises with the politics, rather than the science.

Ebola has been around for AGES. Im not saying that it could not be weaponized, but it's not a good candidate.

Covid 19 was an enhanced variant of one of as multiple of rapidly missing viruses that cause the "common cold.". Recall the original version that hit caused severe and unexplainable pneumonia. But it fairly quickly, like the cold virus does mutated. The geneticists pulled it will away from it's evolutionary stability and within a few variants was back more it less in that realm.

Ebola on the other hand is slow to mutate and kills VERY quickly. You wouldn't want to replace anon-mutating strain as you wouldn't be able to stop is.

It doesn't linger in the air, and it doesn't linger on dry surfaces. You do require direct fluid to fluid contact. Gloves and a face t shield for care workers is sufficient though most would add a disposable suit and mask.

It flares up over in the Congo every free years or so

Lots of people, for various reasons, wanting to see this thing become a global pandemic, especially with the US November elections coming up.

Thankfully Ebola is not an airborne virus, and unless you're in contact with sick people or dead bodies, it doesn't really spread.

Well, unless Wuhan gets their hands on it.

But you gotta keep the gullible liberals scared. You gotta have them try to prove that there's a reason they can't get out and vote again.

These diseases are all over the world and any given time. There might be outbreaks here and there, but because of all the lies, the CDC told about Covid and other things people are convinced now that these are all new things that we've never dealt with before and we have to cower. We don't.

OK, so let's look at this.

They've had 243 cases confirmed in Congo and Uganda with 43 deaths. The combined population of those areas are roughly 169 million. These places have had many outbreaks of this over the past decades.

"Even without vaccines or specific therapeutics, people can survive Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus if they receive timely healthcare and seek treatment as soon as symptoms appear," he said in a post on X on Monday after visiting a newly opened Ebola treatment facility in Bunia on Sunday.

On Sunday, WHO announced that four nurses who were being treated for Ebola have been discharged from a hospital in Bunia after recovering from the disease. A laboratory worker had also recovered earlier this week, the agency said, bringing the total number of people who have recovered from the virus in Congo to five.

WHO reported the same number of confirmed deaths Sunday, but said there were 291 confirmed cases between Congo and Uganda. Those numbers stood at 128 confirmed cases and 18 deaths a week ago, according to the WHO tracker.

In Brazil, a man with a suspected case of Ebola in Sao Paulo tested positive for meningitis. Another suspected case emerged in Rio de Janeiro, where the patient tested positive for malaria, local health authorities said Sunday. In neither case does the diagnosis rule out the possibility of Ebola, they said.

In Italy, protocols for a suspected case of Ebola were triggered in Sardinia's capital, Cagliari, for a man who had flown back from Congo on Saturday with some symptoms, but the health ministry said Monday that he had tested negative.

If they start vaccinating, watch out. It's my understanding that the Ebola vaccine sheds (read that a couple of years ago). That's how you create an Ebola pandemic.

I feel like we've lived this timeline before. When do the Ebola monkeys break out of a research facility? Are we going to hear about massive killer bee swarms later this summer?
