WHO declares Ebola epidemic a global health emergency

[Moostache]

9. Call me whatever makes people feel better, but this is NOT getting enough attention, period.

The transmission of a virus with greater than 70% lethal outcomes into a pandemic would end the smugness of some replies I have seen recently in posts and threads about the Ebola outbreak. Personally, I am aghast that the further this spreads and the more uncontrollable it becomes that we are largely not making any real action plans about it.

Once the disease is raging through white people in Europe or North America, its too fucking late! Prevention of spread is the single (and possibly ONLY) way to avoid a hideous situation that would make it dwarf the Spanish Flu and bring it into the realm of the Black Death / Plague era. I cannot afford to abscond to the country and live in isolation, so I am a little more than nervous about this growing worse still...
