Once again, a dangerous and quite lethal disease in Africa gets minimal notice by the corporate media, as Ebola is once again stalking the continent.
Ebola is a serious enough disease that the US is screening passengers from Uganda upon entry. It is a serious enough disease that travelers are not objecting to the process.
The U.S. will screen passengers for Ebola at five designated airports if they have traveled in Uganda within three weeks prior to their arrival, federal officials said on Thursday.
Uganda, a nation in East Africa, is battling a deadly outbreak of Ebola with 63 confirmed and probable cases including 29 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. No cases of Ebola have been reported in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Ebola is an hemorrhagic disease that is spread by contact with the secretions and bodily fluids of an infected person. Unlike COVID and other Influenza-Like Illnesses, Ebola is not spread by airborne transmission.
What makes Ebola of such concern is that it is extremely deadly. The current outbreak in Uganda currently is reporting a 63% case fatality rate among confirmed cases.
The current Ebola outbreak in central Uganda has a 69% case fatality rate, which Ogwell called “very high,” and four health workers are among the 30 people who have died. There have been 43 confirmed cases. None have been in the capital, Kampala.
I shudder to think what might happen if ebola were to get a running start in the US. Isn't it likely that an even higher percentage of cases in the US might be fatal, given that we have recently been systematically denied effective early treatment with medicines widely available in Africa?
Ebola would burn itself out fairly quickly in the US, especially once it was identified. Because Ebola is not an airborne pathogen, once cases are identified isolation quickly limits the spread of the disease.
The biggest challenge would be dealing with the bedding and clothing from infected patients. Because contact with secretions and bodily fluids are the primary transmission vector, soiled bedding and clothing are devastatingly effective intermediary transmission modes.
Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever, not an influenza-like illness. To the best of my knowledge, Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are not effective against Ebola.
My point is that once effective treatment has been blocked for one disease, effective treatment may be blocked for another (regardless of similarity between ailments or lack thereof).
It is known that the various military bioweapon research groups have been attempting to create a hemorrhagic disease (Marburg) that it spread by mosquito (doesn't survive saliva glands) or airborne routes.
Considering the work we know has been successfully done to "vaccinate" people via mosquito, would 'encoding' Marburg in mRNA be achievable?
Agreed, Ebola is a public health threat much worse than Covid, There has been about 28 major outbreaks since 1976 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ebola_outbreaks ), so once again we are seeing more fear mongoring as this is not out of the ordinary unless it has been weaponized.

So how is that effectively dealt with in areas where ebola is endemic? Burn the contaminated bedding and clothing? Seems do-able.
