And you know we can keep this under the raps all we so need, but this is a
problem to every black family. Ebola will come to your home even though you
have not gone to Liberia, and for a simple reasoning, do you know the kids that
are in the school of your kids? Do you know if those kids have a visitor from
West Africa? The people you sit with in trains and subways do you know them? Do
you know the visitors they got last week? The church you went to this morning,
do you know the entire congregation and those that they have as visitors at
home? The people you work with do you know their visitors from last 21 days?
Ebola is going to walk to your home through the kiss your daughter will give
you as she walks in from school. And do you know why this is a very serious
matter? Because CDC is stating that there are very good systems in United
States to take care of Americans. Which makes one ponder. If you look closely
at all statements that have been put out on this Dallas man there is no single
sentence reading treatment. They have from get go used a term we are making him
comfortable. In medical terms making you comfortable means that they bought a
casket the day they admitted him and someone sat in the window to see the clock
ticking. There is no single assured treatment than isolation and allowing you
die in isolation, and that is what should have been raised from get go. Look
pharmaceutical companies can hold on this process only so much to make every
one panic and then the stocks go through the roof.
If United States government wanted to put a stop on this disease the very first
thing should be to stop issuing Visas in Liberia, they have been issuing them
in Monrovia as late as last Friday afternoon.
Hey do you want a visa? Please and kindly take it !!!!!!

Subject: {UAH} FEARS OF EBOLA SPREAD AS US PATIENT FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE
Fears of Ebola spread as US patient fights for his life
A man in Dallas who contracted the Ebola virus is in critical condition, and
supplies of anti-Ebola drug ZMapp have run out. Scientists and leaders in other
countries face fears of the disease spreading to their nations.
<http://www.dw.de/fears-of-ebola-spread-as-us-patient-fights-for-his-life/a-17975087>
Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian citizen who was diagnosed with Ebola while
visiting the United States, is "fighting for his life," according to Thomas
Frieden, Head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Frieden confirmed that all doses of the experimental anti-Ebola drug ZMapp had
run out, leaving Duncan with few options except an even newer experimental drug
that could potentially make him sicker instead of healthier.
Duncan's is the first known case of Ebola in the United States. Some 38 people
Duncan may have come into contact with are being monitored.
Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health thinks an outbreak like
the one in Western Africa is unlikely in nations such the US however. Fauci
said on Sunday that the poor infrastructure and lack of resources in nations
like Liberia were to blame for the rapid spread of the virus.
Ebola discrimination
Near Dallas, where Duncan is hospitalized, there have been reports of
discriminatory behavior towards African immigrants and their children.
Local politician Eric Williams told the Reuters news agency that African
children were called "Ebola kids" and criticized the call by some U.S.
politicians to ban travel from the most-affected countries, Liberia, Guinea,
and Sierra Leone.
"We have one diagnosed cased and now there is a list of people who want to shut
the borders to Africa," Williams added.
Possible spread of the virus to Europe
The risk of the disease's spread outside of West Africa is causing fear in many
disparate parts of the world.
In Europe, virus expert Derek Gatherer of Lancaster University told Reuters
that the Ebola outbreak, the worst in history, could reach Europe by the end of
October.
Gatherer has been tracking the epidemic since its beginning last spring. His
hypothesis is that the virus is most likely to hit France because of the
linguistic connection to several of the hard-hit countries with whom it shares
<http://www.dw.de/fears-of-ebola-spread-as-us-patient-fights-for-his-life/a-17975087>
BUSY TRAVEL routes.
Although Britain and France have each found one confirmed case of Ebola that
was then cured, Gatherer's study implies that the number could be larger
because people may travel while unknowingly carrying the disease, which can
have an incubation period of up to 21 days.
"If this thing continues to rage on in West Africa…it's only a matter of time
before one of these cases ends up on a plane to Europe," the scientist said.
Ebola-like Marburg virus confirmed in Uganda
Elsewhere in Africa, in the southern nation of Uganda, a man has died of the
Ebola-like Marburg virus. Similarly to Ebola, Marburg causes bleeding, fever,
vomiting and diarrhea. It also has very high fatality rates, ranging from 25 to
80 percent. The 30-year-old Ugandan died 11 days after falling ill, and two
other people he came into contact with are showing signs of the disease and
have been quarantined.
Ugandan Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda appeared confident that his government
could handle the crisis, however.
He tweeted: "Uganda has previously successfully handled similar situations of
health threats involving hemorrhagic fevers," possibly referring to the
successful containment of an outbreak of Marburg in 2010 which killed ten
people.
The Ebola virus has claimed nearly 3,500 lives since March.
