Good news everybody! http://news.yahoo.com/british-ebola-nurse-pauline-cafferkey-critically-ill-002413262.html quote:A British nurse who was successfully treated in January after contracting Ebola in Sierra Leone is now "critically ill" due to a resurgence of the virus, the hospital treating her said Wednesday. So I guess Ebola is like the Herpes of horrible ways to die.

Obviously Ebola is now airborne and she must have breathed in some old air from when she was still sick.

Its 2015, and the world has been ravaged by Ebola. The EU disintegrated after all major population centers have been evacuated into the now-overcrowded rural areas. Martial law exists at every active airport, but no planes are landing. The unburied dead outnumber the living. A dying civilization crys out to the sky: Why didn't we listen to Zimbo when we had the chance?!!?!!?!!?!

Not to gloat, but there were a whole poo poo-ton more posters than just zimbo that were confident that millions would die and that the WHO was covering up. Lesson being, everyone sucks.

If she wasn't already very sick during the visit the tots will be fine. Adding to this, it appears to be another case of a post-Ebola neurological syndrome.

Three Olives posted:Good news everybody! Well, that's bad. If it remains latent in even a tiny fraction of the patients, that represents an enormous threat to public health in the long term. A Doctors Without Borders type at home is really the worst case - the absolute last thing you want is for Ebola to suddenly pop up in a first-world country with frequent air travel. There were only 1,716 cases total from 1976 through 2013. That probably wasn't enough cases to study low-order probabilities of latency, especially given the fairly low level of medical attention.

Baloogan posted:Remember when the number of cases was only going up exponentially? Honestly wtf what does "hyper-apocalyptial" even mean; even though its a household word now. It means "I calculated the value of an exponential function after a couple dozen cycles and pooped myself". There's a whole bunch of reasons that the perfect transmission ratio doesn't happen even in the absence of medical intervention, but exponential growth is a thing that the human brain doesn't intuitively comprehend very well. The classic example is that if you have a lake with a plant that doubles its coverage of the surface every day, at the end of the sequence how long does it take to cover half the lake? a day Diseases can grow at much greater rate than doubling their population every cycle. There are horror cases like that kid who took an international bus ride while they were making GBS threads themselves to death. Those cases can easily cause dozens of primary transmissions and hundreds of secondary transmissions if they're not handled properly. First-world countries can be worse in some senses, since there's a very free flow of international air travel (which takes place in a giant tin can).

after the first billion died and sea-burial became the norm no one predicted that the ocean itsself would thereafter transmit the Virus.

LONDON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Ebola virus can exist in the semen of male survivors of the disease for at least nine months after their initial infection appears, much longer than previously thought, scientists said on Wednesday. http://www.trust.org/item/20151014214124-eecst/

I would humbly disagree, Ebola will never be a disease that spreads well in western countries for a lot of reasons. The primary being basic education, trust in the healthcare system and the need for severe symptoms to be able to effectively spread the disease. The worst case scenario is still the slums of a distrustful, fearful under equipped city. edit: reminder that we are not sure yet if the virus particles found insemen are still alive and capable of infecting another human.

Whoops! https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/science-ticker/first-known-case-sexually-transmitted-ebola-reported Seems pretty low-risk, nevertheless, so I'm not super-concerned. As Doctor Sprecher notes in the article, there are 17k survivors of infection and 1 (one) sexually transmitted case in lots of months.
