What should North America do about the Ebola Outbreak in Africa? (31)
Do nothing and you won't have a cure. Diseases have no frontiers.
Drop all the bombs you want, it won't wipe a virus.

BadCompany709: What should Canada and the United States do about the Ebola Outbreak in Africa? 1). Continue to send doctors over there to help out those infected with the disease 2). Nothing. Let them deal with it themselves 3). Send the Military over there to drop bombs on villages where the Outbreaks are and wipe them out.
Why just America and Canada? the world needs to address this and work together to help the people in Africa.

An experimental Ebola drug healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus in a study, boosting hopes that the treatment might help fight the outbreak raging through West Africa — once more of it can be made.
The monkeys were given the drug, ZMapp, three to five days after they were infected with the virus and when most were showing symptoms. That is several days later than any other experimental Ebola treatment tested so far.
The drug also completely protected six other monkeys given a slightly different version of it three days after infection in a pilot test. These two studies are the first monkey tests ever done on ZMapp.
"The level of improvement was utterly beyond my honest expectation," said one study leader, Gary Kobinger of the Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg.
"For animal data, it's extremely impressive," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which had a role in the work.
It's not known how well the drug would work in people, who can take up to 21 days to show symptoms and are not infected the way these monkeys were in a lab.
Several experts said it's not possible to estimate a window of opportunity for treating people, but that it was encouraging that the animals recovered when treated even after advanced disease developed.
The study was published online Friday by the journal Nature.

let them look after themselves , have you read Fays Megatransect ? there are comments in that article about a village that one of his porters came from , some of the village brought home a dead monkey , the animal was bloated because it had died on its own accord . All but a handful died from eating that monkey . Darwin at work------ This poll is Archived ------

100% effectiveness. In monkeys, but it could be a success soon.

Two days ago a patient quarantined by ebola virus escaped from a hospital in Liberia, causing some panic.

That escaped Ebola patient was starving. He escaped to find something to eat according to what I heard. People have been hoarding food and there's a shortage and prices are getting so high people are going hungry.

Don't blame him for doing a runner living in an Ebola ward is a contradiction in terms . I have seen what the bunny variant of this disease does . This seems to spread easier . You always keep an eye on your pennies , if Ebola turns up out of Africa cashing in your life insurance might be a goer .------ This poll is Archived ------
The United States will not turn back flights from West Africa over concerns about the Ebola virus, the White House said Monday.
"There are in place a lot of precautions to ensure the safety of the American public and the traveling public," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday at a press briefing.
Asked if the administration would block flights from the affected countries, he said, "No, not at this point."
The comments follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) allowing airlines to deny boarding to passengers who are exhibiting Ebola symptoms.
The CDC has also stepped up training for Customs and Border Patrol personnel in order to identify people who should be quarantined for the illness.
Earnest noted that people leaving the affected countries must undergo screening before departure and then again upon arrival in the United States.

this is a huge mistake those flights should be banned permanently/indefintely, and those countries not permitted entry indefintely.. we know they probably are not doing enough to contain the virus now - I do not deem those countries trustworthy in terms of this type of disease control..too much chaos
I certainly hope the feds are not showing racial preference and risking the lives of US citizens

The world is now a village via globalization so whenever there is a global health risk from a serious disease there should be a global strategy to eradicate the problem.
Dropping bombs on infected villages would be a solution if we were barbarians but we are Civilized .
North America is made up of the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Just an observation that both ‘East Africa’ and the entire Congo area has been the home of research and development of many 'secret' biological warfare programs, especially by both the US and Russians since the early 70’s.

when a viable drug looks good to combat it, the virus conveniently mutates not just for one but for 2 new experimental drugs to attack the virus. This has been going on since 1990 including the strain identified in Reston Virginia; Uganda back in 2007, all from monkeys which was the favourite animal for infecting with virtually all the experimental strains of viruses. Some people are still convinced that the Aids virus was created in the Congo by US intelligence agencies secretly experimenting there with Mobuto’s full co-operation that continued unabated after 1997 when Mobuto was overthrown….strange ‘coincidences’...

face it - we humans haven't gotten a cure for the common cure what makes you think we are clever enough or diabolical enough to research and develop secret biological warfare program only since the early 70s.The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people and peaking in Europe in the years 1346–53. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe published in 2010 and 2011 indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, probably causing several forms of plague.
The Black Death is thought to have originated in the arid plains of central Asia, where it then travelled along the Silk Road, reaching the Crimea by 1343.
From there, it was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships. Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population.
All in all, the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century.

You may find this of interest, as it's based on proven facts rather than hearsay!!
Interesting to note that the "Civilised" Japanese murdered so many Chinese before, during and after the second world war with poisonous weapons, but still remain USA allies, says a lot!!!!

Tragically,very few countries do not engage in secret medical/ biological research and development, especially when aligned with one of the so called ‘super powers’. Those R&D funds are virtually impossible to turn down…

Because we are both civilized nations who have understanding, compassion and empathy for our fellow humans?
Notwithstanding being a member of the HUMAN RACE, do you honestly think that Liberia (or any third world African country) can deal with such a large deadly outbreak of this disease on it's own?
These people need to be quarantined and get the supportive help needed to fight the symptoms. Maybe it is transmissible only by bodily fluids and contact with infected people at this point, but every person who has even the slightest knowledge about biology knows that bacteria and viruses mutate easily.
