@Thiong'o & @masukuma Thanks, post #14 & #15 are informative. They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.

Some of you guys appear comfortable, I still highly dread the disease, ever since I first heard about it in the mid 90's. They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.

Nancy Writebol, a 59-year-old American who was also infected with Ebola while working as a medical missionary in Liberia, is expected to arrive early this week — raising concern that the disease might spread in the United States. But the CDC says that such concerns are unwarranted, because Ebola can only be spread through direct contact with bodily fluids or blood, and patients exhibiting symptoms are immediately placed in isolation. "I hope that our understandable fear of the unfamiliar does not trump our compassion, when ill Americans return to the U.S. for care," Frieden said on "Face the Nation." Frieden said his office has received "nasty emails" and at least 100 telephone calls from Americans concerned that Brantly and Writebol would be allowed to return to the Unted States. "The plain truth is that we can stop Ebola," Frieden said on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos." "We know how to control it."

And probably that is the reason you are not 'pulling the strings'. Liberia has 4.2 million people and less than 250 people have died from the disease - let's stop being irrational and hysterical human beings for once and really find out WHY? Typo there. Fast typing, r not pressed well. Anyways, let me say it plainly because the used figure-of-speech "Pulling Strings" was incorrect since "Pulling Strings" can imply manipulation. Meant to say, if I was the decision maker, I'd decide to ban flights to / from infected countries. I still think that the disease is still not known well enough, medicines and more effective methods of treatment have not yet been developed, so I'd minimize chances of infection at all costs. They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.

I got it first time!this disease is well known! very well known but well known by pockets of people. The rest of the world are now on the information super highway and only negative half truths are being flung out there... that makes for hysteria and panic that does not help anybody - understanding the disease and seeking to make sure preventive measures are in place are equal to the danger - that is the only way out. this world is connected in ways that are unreversible now. if Ebola scares you - check out the Bas-Congo virus All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Kenya, through Mount Elgon, also harbors a seriously scary virus, the Marburg Virus (same family as Ebola), which caused Nairobi Hospital to be placed under quarantine in 1980 after Dr. Shem Musoke caught it from a victim. The victim flew from Kisumu to Nairobi on KQ and the story of the flight scared the living daylights out of me. I happened to meet Dr. Musoke quite a few years ago and hearing the story from him was absolutely surreal. This first chapter of this book gives a bit of an idea how bad it was: http://www.goodreads.com...show/16213.The_Hot_Zone

Jeez! Americans are boiling over the decision to fly back the infected docs! Donald trump wants their airlines stopped from flying to the infected countries.To them it's an african disease, but he was blasted. Now I am suprised to hear Americans say that they can treat it and they expect the doc to recover.. What measures are in place to stop its spread to EA? And why are west africans EATING BATS/GORILLAS???? arghhh -the source of ebola. arrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

- that video was done in Feb-March hivi...possibly as late as June... Imagine a whole senator had said it does not exist! imagine? . saa hii wameanza kuamini! even the staunchest of fellows here are now believers. Umeshawahi kutana na watu vichwa ngumu? As the virologists warn - it's not Ebola that will maliza us.... its some funny virus that will jump the divide. We had one in 1918-1919. we have HIV, we had SARS and Ebola. There is Bas-Congo virus, Malburg e.t.c. what if we could have one that was like SARs, Bas-Congo and HIV? One that is airborne, rabid and lives long in the body like HIV? Boss - World War Z and all zombie apocalypse movies come true mara hiyo....Toba catastrophe kando! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
