10. Both Ebola and HIV are zoonotic diseases

Sat Sep 20, 2014, 08:26 PM

Sep 2014

HIV has been able to be traced back to the early 20th century and crossed over to humans from a certain group of chimps in central Africa.

Ebola has been around for a very long time but was generally confined to small rural villages that hunted bushmeat where it would burn itself out.

More conspiracy nut crap spreading misinformation and panic. Things like that are a slap in the face for the researchers and scientists who have worked tirelessly on these types of diseases and to the medical workers on the front lines.
