Ebola in Dallas, Texas

[Illusion]

Toronto’s University Health Network is confirming that a patient in a Toronto Hospital is being tested for the Ebola virus.

The UHN says that the patient was admitted to hospital with a fever and is currently in isolation. They also say that the patient recently travelled to West Africa.

I don't see what the fuss is about. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there's a caucasian death from ebola on record. And if there was I'm willing to bet it was someone that was immuno compromised.

Not too sure about this...I think several Caucasian aid workers have died, but all in Africa. Interesting thought though. So Calypso Louie Farakan is correct in saying Ebola is a White man's plot to target and kill Blacks? If true...that would be scary.

I wonder how many times you have mentioned Obama in the last 6 years.

Scapegoat of the century..

Wrong.

White people have no immunity from Ebola, and white people have died from it.
The first victims of aids were likely black too, it's just a result of where the virus originated.

Ebola patient may have exposed 80 people. Ebola outbreak could become airborne. At what point is it not 'selfish' to say fuck Africa and their backward beliefs and you are on your own Christian Missionaries who think they can change them? We have our own problems here just as deserving of 'missioning' but less deserving of a deadly outbreak.

Well at least we can safely say that political correctness caused the outbreak.

Every hear of Smallpox. 1 man in the conquest of Mexico... 1 man... a black Moor too... stayed with a family for 1 night on the march to Mexico. I don't need to go on with this particular point, but... yeah

After many of the outbreaks, the Spanish and Natives would quarantine, sometimes evacuate, and outright deny any entry to anyone with racial or ethnic ties to whatever recent outbreak occurred.


Let us never forget, Africa was the White Mans Death for many centuries. The diseases that whipped out Native Americans were inverted on explorers of Africa, and still even casual visitors today, as we see. For centuries the Africa has lay undeveloped, not just from people with prototype brains, but from the diseases that exists, many not even known, and willing to bet, a million times worse than ebola or smallpox.

I'm in the same state and I am trying to remain at ease, but I am also a historian who has read countless tales of diseases encountered through exchange. What smallpox, malaria, and everything else we still not know did to Natives and the Spanish explorers is worse than you can ever imagine, go read this stuff, this really is not a joke, but people in Africa think it is, and apparently being politically correct is safer than being thought of as racist.

Ebola in Town is my new favorite song.

Did you read that they finally figured out almost exactly where, when, and how HIV started? Very interesting they say it was during the early 1920's when rail service started and that the origin was near the border with the Belgin Congo. HIV seems to have made the leap from monkies to humans via eating that damned uncooked jerked wild animal meat...just like what they're saying about Ebola. Interesting how history repeats itself.

I just read the article on the Gaily Grind. Fascinating.

In the last 20 years or so, there have been reports of a group of hookers in Nairobi’s Majengo red light district who remain HIV negative. These women are thought to have become immune to the HIV virus despite long term exposure to HIV positive men. There are around 140 women who can bang as much as they want and will never get the virus. Scientists are studying these women in the hope of discovering what has kept them HIV negative in order to produce an HIV/AIDS vaccine.

Its the same reason why thousands of West Africans are immuned to the Ebola strain. I've read somewhere that antibodies to the virus were found in 15 % of rural communities, whereas these people had never had any fever or other specific symptoms of the disease. Doctors have discovered this large number of healthy carriers among Gabonese people, even in areas where there has never been an Ebola outbreak. The scientists consider that these people have somehow come into contact with the virus. Most Likely because some get low doses of virus by eating infected monkeys or bats that are undercooked.
