Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So Ebola breaks out, kills over 3,000 people in Africa, and it provokes only a half arsed response. Now that one person in the US has died from this disease there's suddenly an "urgent plea" to step up the global effort to contain the virus.I don't know why a significant response wasn't established in the first place. I'm no expert in tropical diseases*, but I could have predicted that poor countries, lacking in medical facilities, and basic infrastructure would struggle to contain the disease and require an awful lot of assistance from the outset.*I've played "Plague" though and this is how pandemics start. There's going to a collapse of civilisation and someone is going to make love to my beautiful dead body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) why don't we simply parachute them all into Syria? Tut - Silly. We have to bomb someone... How about ebola zombies parachuted into Syria, and giving the double dealing Saudis a jolly good Tomahawking?

Mantis Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The colour of the victim hasn't got anything to do with it - what drives the media frenzy is where that victim is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a black Liberian visiting family. I think he probably means one of those two doctors who contracted it and was treated back at Emory hospital in Atlanta.
