Er, where did you hear this? A brief internet search reveals nothing, surprising for what would be a HUGE story. Are you maybe looking for an RP thread?

Seeing as how Ebola isn't as easily spread as most diseases are, I dont see a global pandemic happening so I'm not worried.

They were talking in the news that one of the US health workers that had come down with Ebola and who was sent to the US received a new experimental drug while in Africa. Seems they sent three vials of this new experimental drug from the US which was never tested on people to test on this health worker. They say that in 20 minutes it had affected him very favorable. So it seems they may finally have something to effectively combat Ebola.

Because I have been playing through all of the Halo games in the past week, I will suggest glassing Africa (and Atlanta) from orbit, as the only way to be sure.

Our top scientific advisor, and leader of the loomynarty, agrees with you.

We should have kept the infected American doctors in Africa, and instead bring adequate medical supplies to treat them, instead of taking the risk of an outbreak in the US. As for containing the disease in Africa, round up all the infected, and keep them under quarantine in Africa.

I think being quarantined is the best solution as of currently although asking aid from African states and seeking aid from the WHO is also very effective and will help in overall effectiveness and a better response in the future.

[United States Kingdom]

The WHO and the UN really need to work hard to get this disease dealt with. Ebola is a threat to Africa, and if it's not dealt with, the rest of the world. Developed countries should also he sending foreign aid to West Africa to help those afflicted with the disease.

[United States Kingdom]

Get Africa the fuck away from me!

Then don't come to our continent. Simple.

1,000 infections in about 20,000,000 people... WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Look at the book Hot Zone by Richard Preston. It is all about Ebola. In it, it has a strain that is passed through the air, like the flu. Granted it was only in monkeys, but if it adapted to infect humans...

Hey, that's required reading at my school.

Surprisingly fascinating.

..we're boned, but until then, we're OK!

It is required reading in Honors Biology (that is how I know about it). It really is a fascinating read.

To anyone who hasn't read it, highly recommend reading it.

I have a boner.

No, seriously.

I believe that we should do what the CDC did with drugs to treat AIDS in the 1980s - Remove some safeguards to get them approved quicker.

Of course, the downside is that you might be screwed following the side effects.

Sorry, I don't feel like being a guinea pig for a vaccine for a disease that will most likely not affect me.

Yeah we will all turn into mutants, and Will Smith will have to find a cure. #IamLegend I know it was a cancer cure but still

As long as that dog doesn't die. I fucking hated that part.

Wow, there's no facepalm icon anymore.

Seriously.

:facepalm

doesn't work.

I meant, a law mostly the same except to deal with Ebola, and people didn't become involuntarily become guinea pigs during the 1980s either.

EDIT: Wait, there IS a facepalm smiley.

Just it's not on the side list, when every other smiley is - even the ones under view more smileys.

That's a good point. We should instead use biological weapons as they do not leave long term fallout after it's done. Oh wait...

Don't get me wrong, I love being sarcastic, I just think their are levels that are allowed and levels that are to far.
