Ebola outbreak

[deltex1]

Experts are calling this the worst outbreak of Ebola ever. Where is the POTUS? Why nothing from the first African American president?

When Ebola kills as many as AIDS, give us a ring...

I'm sure you have a much greater chance of getting AIDS than Ebola ....good observation ....valid concern.

You think the President should be involved in an Ebola outbreak?



Why?

You do not think he should be shutting down travel from those nations to the US. And that he should be out in front of this and getting our best and brightest involved?

The CDC has already addressed the ebola outbreak and said there's low risk to the United States.

“Ebola poses little risk to the U.S. general population,” Stephan Monroe of CDC’s National Center for Emerging & Zoonotic Infectious Diseases told reporters in a conference call. It’s because you have to be in direct contact with someone who is ill to become infected.

“Transmission is through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person,” Monroe said. That includes vomit, blood or diarrhea. “Individuals who are not symptomatic are not contagious,” he said.

So again, why should the President get involved? Our best and brightest have already gotten on this. Why would he ignore the CDC....and instead believe you?

Almost everything the CDC said about HIV was lie. Why should anyone believe it now?

Show us what 'lies' the CDC supposedly told about HIV, and we can discuss it.

 

[Rikurzhen]

From what I perceive...Obabble leaves everything to everybody else.

Why would Obama ignore the CDC and its resources....and try to fix Ebolo personally?

Why the hell did President Bush commit American resources to the problem of AIDS in Africa? AIDS in Africa poses exactly the same risk to Americans in America as Ebola in Africa poses to Americans in America.

Exactly. There is no cure for Ebola. What's he supposed to do?

The death toll perhaps? Bush's HIV initiative started in 2003.

Sub-Saharan Africa remains the worst affected region of the world with about 3.2 million new infections and 2.3 million deaths in 2003. Southern Africa is home to about 30 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, yet the region has less than two percent of the global population.

CNN.com - U.N.: AIDS deaths, infections at new highs - Nov. 25, 2003

Compared with the worst Ebola breakout in recorded history:

The Ebola epidemic in the West African nations of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea has caused more than 670 deaths and more than 1,000 infections, according to the WHO. Ebola is a severe illness with a fatality rate of up to 90%, is one of the world's most virulent diseases, according to the WHO. It is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected animals or people..

Ebola now taking toll on doctors

So 3200 times the infection rate and 3400 times the death rate. When you have to measure the differences in orders of magnitude, you're not talking about subtle numbers.

Worse, Ebola can go years with no deaths or infections. There were no reported outbreaks, infections or deaths in 2005 or 2006 at all. A total of 14 deaths in 2009. And none in 2010.

Millions die from HIV every year with even more new infections. In 2011 alone, 1.3 million people died from HIV.

And of course, Africa was Bush's pre-911 foreign policy priority. With Bush pushing a massive US military build up on the continent with the 'United States African Command' over the course of his presidency. The HIV initiative seems to have been born, at least in part, out of an effort to gain good will and trust in those regions to gain influence and make the build up easier.

You know I saw your thread title and had just read about the Premiere Ebola doctor dying in Africa today because he was infected.

Yesterday I read 50 plus doctors and nurses have already died because of this outbreak. Over 100 are infected.

I also read people are now infected in one of the largest cities in Africa.

Near 1,000 have died and a hell of a lot more infected. And several American doctors/ nurses are infected now, one docs family just visited him and returned to the US.

All this suffering and the possibility it can spread and you have the gall to make this a political statement against Obama? WTF? Seriously?

Don't assume I'm liberal either.

Exactly. There is no cure for Ebola. What's he supposed to do?

No cure and no treatment. Another excellent point. With HIV, you can do quite a bit to help reduce infections and deaths. There are treatments that can vastly extend the lifespan of those who are infected and methods of preventing children from being infected as they are born.

With Ebola......there's very little you can do. Its one of the reasons the disease generally doesn't spread much. Its simply too virulent. The latency stage of the disease is about 21 days. Then it kills you in about a week. And you're not contagious until you're symptomatic.

The latency stage for HIV can be years, even a decade. And then you die slowly over years. You are contagious long before you're symptomatic.

There's almost nothing that can be done for Ebola. We've managed to reduce the global death rate from HIV to 1.3 million. When in 2003, the death toll in subsaharan africa alone was 2.3 million. That's real progress.

It's always instructive to watch a midwit in action. You've got enough intelligence to be somewhat coherent but your logic is screwy as all hell. Like most liberals you can talk yourself into believing anything and everything. So long as you type your bullshit I'm sure it seems convincing to you.

Why you'd think that one year's low incidence rate has any predictive value for a future year is beyond me to understand.

Maybe this can give you some food for thought. In 1917 there were 0 deaths from the Spanish Flu. By 1921 5% of global population was dead from the Spanish Flu.

I'm definitely concerned about this outbreak...seems to be getting out of control. The scale certainly makes for grim viewing in comparison with previous outbreaks: ? Chart: 2014: The Deadliest Ever Ebola Virus Outbreak | Statista

Why?

How easy would it be to transport infected illegal zombies across our southern border?

When you contract Ebola, you'll be dead before you can get out of Africa, to Mexico, and accross the border.

Fox breaking news...just announced...Obabble is monitoring the Ebola outbreak in Africa. What more can we expect. Valerie is instructed to keep him advised...but do not call when he is putting.

Yeah, Obama is only the Chief Executive of the United States. What the hell does anyone expect him to do? Like maybe implement full border security and give medical screens to all immigrants?

NAAAAHHHHH ! ! ! ! !

Libtards are the biggest bunch of fools and idiots to ever have influence over an entire civilization.

Yeah, so obviously we should let it enter the entire country and kill off half the population, primarily in the cities....

On second thought, yes Obama has EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL! DONT WORRY ABOUT IT!

Not true, dude.

With viruses there are two periods of time in which the carrier shows no symptoms but can still spread the disease, prior to showing symptoms (incubation period) and after recovering from symptoms.

WHO | Ebola virus disease

Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness....
The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days.

So there are as many as ten weeks a person without symptoms can carry Ebola and still spread the disease. That is plenty of time to cross our borders on foot, never mind flying in like many illegals are brought in by the Obama Regime.

If we had honest people in charge of our government they would shut down the borders till they could gain control of all immigration and administer medical screenings of everyone entering the country. EDV has a 50% survival rate so far, but in some places it is as low as 10%. That is justification to shut down all ports of entry, but this wont happen.

We are too corrupt and incompetent to survive as a nation.
