The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston
EBOLA ZAIRE ATTACKS every organ and tissue in the human body except skeletal muscle and bone. It is a perfect parasite because it transforms virtually every part of the body into a digested slime of virus particles.
The seven mysterious proteins that, assembled together, make up the Ebola-virus particle, work as a relentless machine, a molecular shark, and they consume the body as the virus makes copies of itself. Small blood clots begin to appear in the bloodstream, and the blood thickens and slows, and the clots begin to stick to the walls of blood vessels. This is known as pavementing, because the clots fit together in a mosaic. The mosaic thickens and throws more clots, and the clots drift through the bloodstream into the small capillaries, where they get stuck. This shuts off the blood supply to various part of the body, causing dead spots to appear in the brain, liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, testicles, breast tissue (of men as well as women), and all through the skin. The skin develops red spots, called petechiae, which are hemorrhages under the skin. Ebola attacks connective tissue with particular ferocity; it multiplies in collagen, the chief constituent protein of the tissue that holds the organs together. (The seven Ebola proteins somehow chew up the body's structural proteins.) In this way, collagen in the body turns to mush, and the underlayers of the skin die and liquefy. The skin bubbles up into a sea of tiny white blisters mixed with red spots known as a maculopapular rash. The rash has been likened to tapioca pudding. spontaneous rips appear in the skin, and hemorrhagic blood pours from the rips. The red spots on the skin grow and spread and merge to become huge, spontaneous bruises, and he skin goes soft and pulpy, and can tear off if it is touched with any kind of pressure. You mouth bleeds, and you bleed around your teeth, and you may have hemorrhages from the salivary glands-literally every opening in the body bleeds, no matter how small.
The surface of the tongue turns brilliant red and then sloughs off, and is swallowed or spat out. It is said to be extraordinarily painful to lose the surface of one's tongue. The
tongue's skin may be torn off during rushes of the black vomit. The back of the throat and the lining of the windpipe may also slough off, and the dead tissue slides down the windpipe into the lungs or is coughed up with sputum. Your heart bleeds into itself; the heart muscle softens and has hemorrhages into its chambers, and blood squeezes out of the heart muscle as the heart beats, and it floods the chest cavity. The brain becomes clogged with dead blood cells, a condition known as sludging of the brain. Ebola attacks the lining of the eyeball, and the eyeballs may fill up with blood: you may go blind.
Droplets of blood stand out on the eyelids: you may weep blood. The blood runs from your eyes down your cheeks and refuses to coagulate. You may have a hemispherical stroke, in which one whole side of the body is paralyzed, which is invariably fatal in a case of Ebola. Even while the body's internal organs are becoming plugged with coagulated blood, the blood that streams out of the body cannot clot; it resembles when being squeezed out of curds. The blood has been stripped of its clotting factors. If you put the runny Ebola blood in a test tube and look at it, you see that the blood is destroyed. Its red cells are broken and dead.
The blood looks as if it has been buzzed in an electric blender.
Ebola kills a great deal of tissue while the host is still alive.
It triggers a creeping, spotty necrosis that spreads through all the internal organs. The liver bulges up and turns yellow, begins to liquefy, and then it cracks apart. The cracks run across the liver and deep inside it, and the liver completely dies and goes putrid. The kidneys become jammed with blood clots and dead cells, and cease functioning. As the kidneys fail, the blood becomes toxic with urine. The spleen turns into a single huge, hard blood clot the size of a baseball. The intestines may fill up completely with blood. The lining of the gut dies and sloughs off into the bowels and is defecated along with large amounts of blood. In men, the testicles bloat up and turn black-and-blue, the semen goes hot with Ebola, and the nipples may bleed. In women, the labia turn blue, livid, and protrusive, and there may be massive vaginal bleeding. The virus is a catastrophe for a pregnant woman: the child is aborted spontaneously and is usually infected with Ebola virus, born with red eyes and a bloody nose.

Liberia will close schools and consider quarantining some communities, it said on Wednesday, rolling out the toughest measures yet imposed by a West African government to halt the worst outbreak on record of the deadly Ebola virus.
On Wednesday, Liberian health officials said an isolation unit for Ebola victims in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, was overrun with cases and health workers were being forced to treat up to 20 new patients in their homes. Dozens of local health workers, including Sierra Leone and Liberia's leading two Ebola doctors, have died treating patients.
"This is a major public health emergency. It's fierce, deadly and many of our countrymen are dying and we need to act to stop the spread," Lewis Brown, Liberia's information minister, told Reuters. "We need the support of the international community now more than ever. We desperately need all the help we can get."
Security forces in Liberia were ordered to enforce the action plan, which includes placing all non-essential government workers on 30-day compulsory leave.

you forgot muslims...
The first cases of this outbreak were confirmed in Guinea's remote southeast in March. It then spread to the capital, Conakry, and into neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Concern deepened last week when a Liberian-American died from Ebola in Nigeria having traveled from Liberia. Authorities in Nigeria, as well as Ghana and Togo, where he passed through en route to Lagos, are trying to trace passengers who were on the same plane as him.

Spread by vomit, blood, diarrhea, and semen. Poor African kids can sleep up to 5-6 per bed. Young boys having wet dreams or masturbating in bed, if infected, will spread it to their siblings. No danger with sneezing or cough. No hand washing after defecating can spread the virus on to door knobs and handles in public places like airports. Anal sex with an infected person guarantees that you have a 90% chance of a slow agonizing hemorrhagic death. Like HIV it will spread all over Africa first then hit the international gay population.
This could become a big deal.
-
The worst part is for every person it kills is another 100 people that are going threw economic chaos.
Imagine all international flights and shipping being greatly restricted.
Anyway this is some exciting shit, life might get interesting again, the worlds been rather dull since the 2008 meltdown.

Two Americans are fighting the virus in Liberia
A nurse from Liberia sprays preventives to disinfect the waiting area for visitors at the ELWA Hospital where a US doctor Kent Bradley is being quarantined in the hospitals isolation unit having contracted the Ebola virus, Monrovia, Liberia, 28 July 2014.
Emory University Hospital in Atlanta announced Thursday that it expects to receive a patient with the Ebola disease within the “next several days.”
The CDC Says You Shouldn’t Fly To Countries Hardest Hit By Ebola OutbreakSend More Help to the Hot ZoneSudanese Woman Sentenced to Die for Faith Arrives in U.S. NBC NewsEerie Clinton Tape Surfaces: I Could Have Killed Osama NBC NewsCease-Fire: Israel and Gaza Agree to 72-Hour Pause NBC News
Two Americans, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly, contracted the infection in Liberia. The hospital does not yet know whether the patient is one of these two Americans or when he or she will arrive.
“Emory University Hospital has a specially built isolation unit set up in collaboration with the CDC [the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] to treat patients who are exposed to certain serious infectious diseases,” the hospital said in the statement. “It is physically separate from other patient areas and has unique equipment and infrastructure that provide an extraordinarily high level of clinical isolation. It is one of only four such facilities in the country.”
The Ebola virus can spread through bodily fluids, putting health care workers treating patients at risk. The doctors and nurses who work with the patient will wear full-body protective suits.
Meanwhile American health officials have advised against nonessential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, where the disease has taken 729 lives this year. Up until now, the CDC has only advised travelers to take precautions when traveling in West Africa. This is the first time the CDC has issued a high-level warning since the SARS outbreak in Asia in 2003. The warning is meant both to protect U.S. citizens and help overwhelmed hospitals and clinics in West Africa.
“It is frankly a dreadful and merciless virus. The current outbreak is bad. It’s the biggest, most complex and the first time it’s been present in this region of the world which means that response systems and community understanding of the disease is not what it is elsewhere,” CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden said during a call with the press on Thursday.
However, Frieden says that he does not think Ebola can spread in the U.S. “That’s not in the cards,” he told reporters.
In terms of evacuating the Americans who are infected, Frieden said that any organization looking to airlift the infected would have to exercise caution. “We do not have effective treatment or vaccine for Ebola. There is no proven treatment. There is no proven vaccine. There is not likely to be one for at least a year, even in the best case scenario,” he said.
“There is the potential that the actual movement of the patient could do more harm than the benefit from more advanced supportive care outside of the country.”
Emory University Hospital says it is well-equipped to handle any patients it does receive. “Emory University Hospital physicians, nurses and staff are highly trained in the specific and unique protocols and procedures necessary to treat and care for this type of patient,” the statement says. “For this specially trained staff, these procedures are practiced on a regular basis throughout the year so we are fully prepared for this type of situation.”
Some have recovered from Ebola, but the mortality rate for people infected ranges from 50% to 90%. Experts estimate that about 60% of the people infected with the virus during this particular outbreak have died.

At least in your imagination. True death toll will be 60% according history of the disease. It is futile to scary yourself with fake facts: if this virus get in the USA, there will be lot of bodies on the street. Think what it will look like when there is only 40% of population left? Even you could get the job..lot of room in the gym, no hassle.

Get this man on path to recovery and hopefully what's been learned will help neutralize it elsewhere. Man has a big ole heart and wants to serve others and further medical science.

Spread of Ebola is NOT "slim" here. It doesn't know cultural or economic borders. This dude was NOT making "medical progress" with Ebola, he was merely treating symptoms. He didn't "learn" shit that wasn't already known. There is currently NO treatment for Ebola. Why this nigg@ bringing a disease that can't be treated back to the US?
No drug has been approved to treat either virus. People diagnosed with Ebola or Marburg virus receive supportive care and treatment for complications. Scientists are coming closer to developing vaccines for these deadly diseases.

What a tremendous servant's heart you have.
He's risking his life to help others and now he may lose his and you're critical LOL.
People do survive Ebola and they brought him home under controlled circumstances to treat him with superior care, tech and medicine.
His efforts may not ever prevent Ebola but he's trying. I get the impression that sentiment doesn't mean much.

Can't say I'm too into infected persons knowingly entering North America, as well, to be honest. This doc knew what he was getting into when he went over there. When he became infected, he should have done the noble thing and STAYED THE FUCK OUTTA THE USA.
Ebola is a horrifc virus and I feel for those who die from it, but really, where's the responsibility here towards the greater good?
-
I don't get it, isn't there a massive potential that this could be a major event. Like nine eleven times eleven.
-
My wife and I are of differing opinions here. She thinks like some of you, that the two medical folks recently infected with Ebola, should have been treated where they were and not moved back to the U.S. I suspect there is better medical treatment here and I believe CDC has taken every precaution to avoid any possible spread of this horrific virus. I also think there is a lot of fear going on with this issue....probably rightly so.
-
Thanks a lot for bringing Ebola to the US, asshole.
Don't worry, it's safely contained and your lifestyle is about to change unless you decide to break into his hospital room and get your protein straight from the tap.
He could have just volunteered his services in Detroit and helped black Americans there without the risk of contracting (and spreading) Ebola.
Sure he could have. He can choose to volunteer his services to whomever the fuck he wants to volunteer his services to and his choice is none of your fucking business. As for his risk of "spreading Ebola" you should know better than to venture your unsolicited opinion especially on topics where the extent of your knowledge is what your heard from Sanjay Gupta CNN.
Spread of Ebola is NOT "slim" here.
It is.
It doesn't know cultural or economic borders.
That's not what "slim" means in this context, but thanks for playing.
This dude was NOT making "medical progress" with Ebola, he was merely treating symptoms.
Right, and?
He didn't "learn" shit that wasn't already known.
You aren't in a position to evaluate what he might or might not have learned and what is and isn't known. Again, watching Sanjay Gupta doesn't make you an expert in infectious diseases.
There is currently NO treatment for Ebola.
There's no cure for the common cold either. What's your point?
Why this nigg@ bringing a disease that can't be treated back to the US?
::)
Can't say I'm too into infected persons knowingly entering North America, as well, to be honest.
And... ?
This doc knew what he was getting into when he went over there. When he became infected, he should have done the noble thing and STAYED THE FUCK OUTTA THE USA.
You seem confused. You do realize that he didn't just come back, and go to Manhattan or San Francisco or some other metropolis and start spraying passers-by with his bodily fluids to infect them, right?

I did make a number of actual points, including pointing out that the chances of an Ebola outbreak in the United States with this guy as Patient Zero are basically nil, that your statements about Ebola are based on statements you heard from a guy playing a doctor on TV, that you have no medical training and, therefore, your opinion on medical topics is worth shit.
Oh and thanks.

Nobody is in contact with the Ebola patient.... He is alone in a room. His only communication is through a intercom system. Food is being passed to him through a window.

The second patient with Ebola scheduled to return to the U.S. on Tuesday.

I did make a number of actual points, including pointing out that the chances of an Ebola outbreak in the United States with this guy as Patient Zero are basically nil, that your statements about Ebola are based on statements you heard from a guy playing a doctor on TV, that you have no medical training and, therefore, your opinion on medical topics is worth shit.
Oh and thanks.
You're funny. What did you have in mind, Quincy MD or something along those lines? I have over 20 years experience in medicine. Every outbreak starts with a Patient Zero, whether it's AIDS or Ebola.

Again, watching TV or living by a hospital don't count.

Sure. But again, the probability that this guy will be Patient Zero in a U.S. outbreak of Ebola is nil.

Its far higher than nil. and 0.0001 is intolerable.

Please provide a rigorous statistical analysis or other studies and/or evidence upon which you are basing your assertion.
and 0.0001 is intolerable.
Sure... 0.0001 is pretty high. But let's not talk about numbers you pulled out of your ass.

Your attempts at dissecting my comments are appreciated, "avxo", but your arguments are juvenile. Try making actual points based on facts. Thanks for playing just the same. Good luck with your future posts. ;D
Oh I'm curious about one thing by the way. Why do you put my name in quotes? Do you think I'm not really avxo and am some kind of avxo-impostor?

Wiggs black J.C. will show up ;D & walk his tribe out of Africa.
That's the scary thing; sooner or later, ebola shows its ugly head outside that shithole...

CNN BreakingNews: "A patient at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York is being tested for Ebola after recently returning from West Africa, the hospital says"
His symptoms are consistent with an Ebola infection.

Excellent news! I'm starting to get excited for the mass fatalities. :D

Unless somebody shows me that this thing is airborne (and I am not talking about blood mist), I am just not that worked up about it. I don't work in a hospital.
That said, if it does go airborne, it's DEFCON5.

You don't have to work too hard to catch it.
-

It's blood borne, therefore an exchange of bodily fluids is required. Eating the meat of an infected animal or person would do it too. So no bats, monkeys or cannibalism.
You actually *DO* have to expend some effort to catch it.

Yeah, I'm guessing poor hygiene and unprotected sex are the reasons but saying it won't spread so easily in first world countries seems to be an exaggeration.

Mutation or something?
Two things: 1.) a random mutation. Unlikely, as it is quite a different virus than an airborne virus. 2.) tampering by a state-sponsored entity. There are many ways to "weaponize" something like Ebola. The easiest would be to give it a hardened coating to make it a very fine powder, a la the Soviet weaponization of Anthrax. Another would be to deliberately resequence the gene expressions to maybe cross it with an influenza. Also not something that hobbiests can do, though a used gene sequencer is short money on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LiCor-Li-Cor-Analyzer-Gene-readir-4200-DNA-Sequencer-/181026162828?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2600088c). Specific training required!
A "popular" method is to cross it with a rodent "pox" to give it some durability.

Blood comes from every orifice of infected person so if you are caring for someone or contact a dead body it spreads. It also has a 21 day incubation period. Yes, it could mutate to airborne but with only 1300 cases and this is biggest outbreak ever it isn't a large sample to make a mutation likely.

You act as though he recklessly contaminated himself and recklessly came back to the US.
This man was making medical progress with ebola and unfortunately became sick. The risk of the spread of ebola in the US is extremely slim given our vastly superior medicine.
Get this man on path to recovery and hopefully what's been learned will help neutralize it elsewhere. Man has a big ole heart and wants to serve others and further medical science.
why did god inflict such horrible suffering to poor people in africa MOS? He s a funny guy really.

My wife and I are of differing opinions here. She thinks like some of you, that the two medical folks recently infected with Ebola, should have been treated where they were and not moved back to the U.S. I suspect there is better medical treatment here and I believe CDC has taken every precaution to avoid any possible spread of this horrific virus. I also think there is a lot of fear going on with this issue....probably rightly so.
nobody gives a fuck about what you or your wife thinks.

Eric R. Pianka (born 23 January 1939) is an American biologist, best known for his contributions to herpetology and evolutionary ecology. He is nicknamed "The Lizard Man".
Saving the Earth with Ebola
Professor Pianka said the Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. Then, and without presenting any data to justify this number, he asserted that the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number.
He then showed solutions for reducing the world's population in the form of a slide depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War and famine would not do, he explained. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved.
Pianka then displayed a slide showing rows of human skulls, one of which had red lights flashing from its eye sockets.
AIDS is not an efficient killer, he explained, because it is too slow. His favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population is airborne Ebola ( Ebola Reston ), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. However, Professor Pianka did not mention that Ebola victims die a slow and torturous death as the virus initiates a cascade of biological calamities inside the victim that eventually liquefy the internal organs.
After praising the Ebola virus for its efficiency at killing, Pianka paused, leaned over the lectern, looked at us and carefully said, “We've got airborne 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that.”
With his slide of human skulls towering on the screen behind him, Professor Pianka was deadly serious. The audience that had been applauding some of his statements now sat silent.
After a dramatic pause, Pianka returned to politics and environmentalism. But he revisited his call for mass death when he reflected on the oil situation.
“And the fossil fuels are running out,” he said, “so I think we may have to cut back to two billion, which would be about one-third as many people.” So the oil crisis alone may require eliminating two-third's of the world's population.
How soon must the mass dying begin if Earth is to be saved? Apparently fairly soon, for Pianka suggested he might be around when the killer disease goes to work. He was born in 1939, and his lengthy obituary appears on his web site.
When Pianka finished his remarks, the audience applauded. It wasn't merely a smattering of polite clapping that audiences diplomatically reserve for poor or boring speakers. It was a loud, vigorous and enthusiastic applause.
http://www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIssues_2006/2006-04-07/feature1p/index.html
This resulted in the Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewing Pianka in Austin.
Pianka has stated that Mims took his statements out of context and that Pianka was stating what would happen from biological principles alone if present human population trends continue, and that he was not in any way advocating for it to happen. The host of the speech, the Texas Academy of Sciences, has released a statement stating that:
"Many of Dr. Pianka's statements have been severely misconstrued and sensationalized."

'1 in 5 chance' Ebola will spread to the US by the end of September
Writing in the journal PLOS Currents: Outbreaks, a team of experts claim it is likely that Ebola will make its way to the US, estimating there is a 20% chance this could occur by the end of this month. However, US health care is expected to halt transmission, limiting outbreaks to isolated cases.
map of africa and a model airplane
The researchers suggest Ebola could spread beyond Africa via the international travel hubs in Nigeria.
The World Health Organization (WHO) report that 1,841 people in West African nations have died from Ebola during the current outbreak, with a total of 3,685 confirmed or suspected cases. A recent report in the journal Science (not connected to the PLOS report) estimated that the epidemic will reach 10,000 cases by the end of September.
The virus is transmitted via contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, and it can take up to 21 days after infection for symptoms to appear. These symptoms include fever, muscle weakness and sore throat, and later vomiting, rash and bleeding.
There is no clinically available vaccine for Ebola. However, earlier this week, Medical News Today reported on the development of a vaccine capable of generating long-term immunity against Ebola in monkeys, which is now entering phase 1 clinical trials in humans.

So, 20%. So, an 80% chance it wont.

"this could occur by the end of this month", so how are the chances on the long run, say 1-5 years? :-\
-
Loving the miraculous 'vaccine' that just happened to appear in time...
Pretty sure this has been several movie and book plotlines, theyll use the outbreak to rush the vaccije through trials and skip safety protocol, and then itll turn out that its some eco-nazi scientists will use the vaccinne to murder half the world.

Hope some of you bought back then and took profits the last couple of days - they got FDA approval yesterday. I originally bought below $14 and have sold most of it at ~ $21, $24, and over $25. Made nearly 70% ROI on this over a few weeks.
-
The Ebola virus has been found in fossils - it's old as dirt.
What may be closer to the "tin foil" truth is that an airborne mutation has been discovered or is assumed to exist.
I'm also excited about all the Africans coming to Europe - good times to be had. :D

Invented by some evil WHITE scientist in a US lab, then turned loose on unsuspecting African guinea pigs.

Tkmr still climbing - closed near $30 yesterday. I've read and heard rumblings of them possibly being bought out by a bigger biotech or pharma. My guess is that it's quite likely.
