Ebola Megathread

by **Benuty** » Mon Aug 04, 2014 6:56 pm

Apparently Trump shit his pants because he doesn't know how Ebola Zaire transmits from one person to the other. On that note the ignorance on twitter is so astounding I think a good trolling is in order. Either that or a massive bitch slap to their internet connection.

New Blackout to prevent a panic.

Abd Al Alim is a first name. That's like saying " this one guy named Steve showed up in costa rica"
Smacks of conspiracy theory

That's because most of what Greed and Death posts are jokes.

The western african nations NEED to declare a state of emergency.

The West can refer to the image above.

Gather all the infected persons, paint American flags on them, and drop the poor sods on some Middle Eastern country.

Call me a conspriracy thorist, but i think the government is never going to quarintine.
Better our citizens get sick than the stock market go down a point.
So if it reaches australia, I am going to just hide in my house and play NS, ebola won't bring that down? Would it?

Has Madagascar shut down yet?

Madagascar isn't in West Africa but I can probably guess your being sarcastic so nice sarcasm.

It probably won't reach the Land Down Under.

I wouldn't call it the most dangerous. If it went airborne maybe. Malaria is much more common. Or even Marburg.

Citizens getting sick wouldn't necessary bring down the stock market.

Even then, you don't want to damage the stock market.

They already closed their ports.

I fail to see how it's the most dangerous disease on the planet.

It kills 90% of people infected... but yeah its not easily transmissible

I'm sure everyone flipped their shit a couple years ago over the swine flu or whatever it was, I even heard some people saying it was going to go all "Black Plague" on us.

I'm either still alive or in hell.

Then good.

They can recieve international medical help, and the Western nations can essentially not give two fucks after that.

They obviously have been, I am aware of the two at Emory.

Ugh, quarantine all people with Ebola, if they don't come in willingly, force them. We can't let these people go around carrying a hell of a dangerous virus. Stop all traffic coming in and out of the countries too, and let WHO do it's thing.

by **Mundiferrum** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:52 am

My suggestion: Do nothing. Let nature do its thing. Plagues have stricken the world before, and sure millions of people have died, but heck, it's not as if the whole of humanity is in danger.

Ah, but I jest. Just let them doctors keep on doing what they're doing (or maybe start administering the cure, if they ever make one), and intensify isolation policies, if existent.

There was some "special serum" that seems to be helping the people at Emory... I think we just found the cure
