Doctors Without Borders: Ebola Virus Is “Totally Out Of Control” In West Africa -- Legal Insurrection
The international volunteer medical organization Doctors Without Borders has issued a chilling warning — that the deadly Ebola virus is “totally out of control.”
The Ebola virus spreads through direct contact with infected people and causes internal bleeding and organ failure. There is no cure or vaccine so infected patients must be quarantined to stop the rapid spread of the virus. According to the World Health Organization, an Ebola outbreak can result in over 90% fatality rates.

Forgive me while I get out my tinfoil hat, but I seem to recall reading in The Hot Zone that Ebola Zaire was airborne, not body-fluid-contact-only. After an outbreak a few years back that saw the USAAMRID and CDC take over news bulletins in another country they began stressing that it was really really HARD to get Ebola - nothing to worry about.
Color me suspicious, especially with it now being listed as 'out of control' - If you need direct body fluid contact, it shouldn't be out of control at all.

You are right Orion. There are two messages going out .... hard to get .... but it is now uncontrollable.
" hard to get .... but it is now uncontrollable." Sounds like a red headed woman. Anyway, it's those really hard to get things that kill people dead.
Something I learned early in life .... stay away from red headed women. :)
Told myself that after the last couple. Currently dating another...
Is this a call for more funding by MSF?
