Why pay attention to Ebola?

1.If Ebola takes off within Africa then there may be a mass exodus/migration.

2. Ebola has in the past morphed from a liquid transmission to a air transmission in research chimps in Reston (?) VA. Fortunately that strainndid not infect humans. If it morphs into a human air form then it could be a different game, much faster transmission rates, harder to control.

Just something to keep an eye upon.

DRC’s Ebola outbreak reaches 1,000 confirmed cases
https://reliefweb.int/report/democratic ... rmed-cases
Published on 24 Mar 2019
24 March 2019 – Goma, DR Congo. The deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, declared on 1 August 2018, has reached 1,000 cases. This is the second worst outbreak of Ebola in recorded history, after the 2014 outbreak in West Africa, which killed 11,000 people.

“Sadly, DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak, which started in Nord Kivu and has spread to Ituri Province, has marked 1,000 confirmed cases, making it the most disastrous Ebola outbreak in the country’s history,” says Thomas Simon, Country Director at Medair, an international NGO that has worked in DR Congo for 22 years. “If transmission of the disease does not end soon, it could spark the collapse of an already very fragile health system.”

1. Situation update

The recent escalation in the number of Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases continues in the North Kivu provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This past week saw 65 new confirmed cases reported in the last seven days, predominantly from the areas of Katwa, Mandima, Butembo, and Vuhovi. During the last 21 days (18 March to 7 April 2019), 58 health areas within 13 health zones reported new cases; 42% of the 137 health areas affected to date (Table 1 and Figure 2). During this period, a total of 199 confirmed cases were reported from Katwa (69), Vuhovi (36), Mandima (30), Beni (18), Butembo (16), Masereka (13), Oicha (8), Kayna (2), Lubero (2), Musienene (2), Kalunguta (1), Bunia (1) and Mabalako (1).

As of 7 April 2019, 1154 EVD cases, including 1088 confirmed and 66 probable cases, were reported. A total of 731 deaths were reported [u](overall case fatality ratio 63%), including 665 deaths among confirmed cases. Of the 1154 confirmed and probable cases with reported age and sex, 57% (662) were female, and 29% (331) were children aged less than 18 years. The number of healthcare workers affected has risen to 85, including 30 deaths, with three new health workers among the newly confirmed cases in Katwa and one in Musienene.[/u]

You know, given that Ebola is a tropical disease is it not odd that only tropical Africa is affected by this disease at any detectable scale? After all Brazil, India, Indonesia all have climate nearly identical to the Congo in Africa. If Ebola is to become a world pandemic the first sign would assuredly be its spread to these other places where the disease should be able to find vectors which could pass the disease on through the native populations in those climate regions.

Until Ebola breaks out broadly somewhere, anywhere really, beyond tropical Africa I will not lose a whole lot of sleep over Ebola.

WHO experts to decide whether Congo Ebola outbreak is international emergency

LONDON (Reuters) - The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday said it had reconvened an expert panel to consider whether an outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.

The panel, which first met on this issue in October 2018, will also give updated recommendations on how global health officials should manage the outbreak, the WHO said in a statement from its Geneva headquarters.

At least 740 people have died among the more than 1,100 infected in this epidemic, which began in August 2018.

“Though the risk of spread within the country and to neighboring countries is very high, the risk remains low globally,” the WHO statement added.

The emergency panel’s meeting will take place on Friday April 12 and its decision will be published late the same day.

This is an intelligence test. If you pass, your genes will be in the survivor gene pool. It's really that simple. If you are already elderly like some of us, and have reproduced, you are still in the game.

If you have not reproduced, and are past the age, then you can retain an intellectual interest in TEOTWAWKI, which I really believe is not going to come about for decades. But people like me have the responsibility of keeping the options open for our descendants.

I have decided that means some real estate holdings for the grandkids. Having sold the home in Silicon Valley, I'm house hunting in Wisconsin. Within the week, we will have to break it off and proceed to Nantucket, where the mail (and unpaid bills) are accumulating.

Make a plan. Execute the plan. It's that simple.

Emergency panel meets as Congo Ebola outbreak gathers pace
Faltering national response to epidemic prompts experts to consider official announcement of public health crisis


Experts will convene for an emergency meeting on Friday to determine whether the recent escalation of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo should be declared a global health crisis.

More than eight months into the epidemic, which has killed 751 people, agencies warned the disease is still not under control. The response to the outbreak has been complicated by conflict, political instability, and distrust of Ebola services.

Since the epidemic began in August, 1,186 cases have been recorded. More than 150 of these have occurred over the past fortnight.

Rumour and violence rife as Congo Ebola outbreak surges out of control



Archippe Kamuha knows the signs of Ebola well: diarrhoea, bleeding, persistent fever. But if the 25-year-old developed such symptoms, she would not contact specialist health workers.

“I know that if I go [to a treatment centre], I’ll die. All my friends who go there don’t come home, they die,” said Kamuha, whose home town, Butembo, in north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, is at the centre of the country’s escalating Ebola outbreak.
*********************
Out of this follows logical this Outbreak is far from over. Maybe 10th of thousands will die very soon (worst case per day!)

"In Butembo, Kamuha fears the death count will continue to rise. Last week, the local health officer had announced that nine people had died of the disease. “Even a baby died. It’s shocking.This virus, whose origin I don’t know, will kill our entire city,” she said."
