Re: Plagues
Nice, we all need more super bugs for horny monkeys to spread around.
There is colonies just for people like that away from us, and that's where they should be.

I hope they get something to treat this, it's awful.
The worst part is is the ignorant masses spreading it in the infected regions.
I believe two places where people was being treated was looted, and or attacked violently.
The fools even took the bloody sheets

Ebola Spreading TO The Americas ?
I strongly suspect that this mutations was a deliberate manmade mutation.
Ebola Mutation Could Increase Risk Of Spreading To US

Share this article
The perception that the United States is largely safe and immune from major epidemics and pandemics is currently under challenge. It has emerged that large stocks of antiviral medications and respirators that have been set aside for the protection of U.S government personnel and citizens is about to expire. Consequently, U.S authorities are now reported to be ill-prepared to manage the spread and impact of global pandemics such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, or even the current global Ebola outbreak that has the entire globe running scared.
This alarming and increasingly likely potential outcome was recently reported on by CNN.com, based on federal investigation audit report findings on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The imminent expiry of large quantities of drugs reportedly resulted from the lack of a clear plan on how to replenish their stockpiles of equipment. Additionally, excessive coverall suits and surgical masks were purchased, and poor record keeping and management were found to be the root causes of the wastages and losses.
The DHS is said to have agreed with all 11 suggestions the Inspector General's Office made to improve the program. To manage the process better and to seal the loopholes found, the department will assign an office to oversee the supplies and develop an adequate strategy for making sure the material stays current. It has applied for a shelf life extension with the Food and Drug Administration to extend the expiration dates on the antiviral medicine it has that will expire in 2015.
Hopefully, all these measures, as well as any additional ones requiring urgent implementation, can be taken in time to avert disaster should a pandemic such as Ebola find its way into the United States. The initial spread of Ebola may be quite a distance from the shores of North America, but that doesn

Re: Plagues
30 years ago all travel from infected countries would have been stopped, it's ridicules it hasn't been.
The man who just brought it here might have infected up to 100 people the news said, 100 can turn to the whole country, and beyond.
Bad leadership, and incompetence.

Spread by ignorant people, many of whom are caretakers, but others just stupid.
I wonder how many of those deaths are from the looters who destroyed, and killed the good people trying to help.

I read it was over that, many are not reported also, and it could be near 15000.
Obama does not want it reported, people want borders protected, and closed to those effected countries.

Re: Plagues
A mutation discovered in people and livestock in China makes bacteria resistant to last-resort drugs.
A new report found bacteria resistant to colistin, a drug used when all other treatments have failed, in 16 patients, 15% of raw meat samples and a fifth of the animals tested. The mutation that made the bacteria resistant to the drug is called the MCR-1 gene, and spread resistance between various bacteria including E. coli.
Prof Timothy Walsh of the University of Cardiff, who worked on the study told BBC, “All the key players are now in place to make the post-antibiotic world a reality. If MCR-1 becomes global, which is a case of when not if, and the gene aligns itself with other antibiotic resistance genes, which is inevitable, then we will have very likely reached the start of the post-antibiotic era. At that point if a patient is seriously ill, say with E. coli, then there is virtually nothing you can do.”

Re: Plagues
I read yesterday that the super bugs was getting much stronger thanks to the over use of antibiotics, and such.
They said we are sitting on a time bomb, and one one day could wipe out most of mankind.

China Superbug Could Help Usher in Pale Horse and His Rider
December 04, 2015
By Jack Minor
When the pale horse and his rider of Revelation 6 releases his plagues and death upon the earth, it may just have a label that says “Made in China,” which has now produced bacteria capable of shrugging off the drug class considered “the antibiotics of last resort.”
The BBC is reporting that colistin, an antibiotic class of drugs known as polymyxins may have been overused in farm animals in China, causing the news organization to warn of what it calls an “antibiotic apocalypse” which it says could plunge medicine back into the dark ages.
Recently, Chines scientists identified a new mutation called the MCR-1 gene. This mutation prevents colostin from killing bacteria. Even more alarming, a report in Lancelot Infectious Diseases showed resistance to colostin in 20 percent of the animals tested.
Unlike Bird Flu, another infectious disease produced in China, this current resistance has now begun to spread between other common bacterial strains including E. Coli.
While antibiotics have long been a boon to mankind, the problem has been that many regular people do not have a proper understanding of how antibiotics work, including what they were designed to do. As a result, like the Prophet Hosea warned, “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” Failure to heed this biblical warning is the primary reason of the rise of so-called “superbugs” today.
Anti-biotics are designed to work on bacteria, not viruses. Therefore, taking it for a flu or cold will have no effect. When they are taken for bacterial infections all the antibiotics prescribed by your physician must be taken. Many times people stop taking them a day or so after they begin to feel better. As a result, the bacteria may not die, but will instead go on to recover, becoming more resistant than before. As it reproduces, this resistance is replicated on in subsequent generations of bacteria.
There have been many warnings over the years of these new strains of bacteria threatening a resurgence of diseases we once thought eradicated.
In 2013, Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) told his writer that drug resistant strains of tuberculosis and other diseased needed to be part of the ongoing immigration debate.
“It is something I am aware of and it is definitely a factor to consider in the immigration debate,” Burgess told me.
Besides California and Florida, the states with the greatest number of multi-drug resistant TB are Texas and New York. All of these states have large numbers of illegal aliens within their borders. Florida was ranked as having the third largest illegal alien population by the Department of Homeland Security. Many of the illegals in Florida come from the Caribbean and other countries in the Southern hemisphere. Some of these countries have widespread problems with tuberculosis.
Burgess said he would take steps to make sure the issue of illegal aliens introducing drug-resistant strains of these diseases is addressed as the house considers any immigration bills.
“This is something I am going to push for us to look at in the Oversight Committee on Energy and Commerce,” Burgess explained. “The issue came up a couple of years ago in late 2010. We had some hearings a couple of years ago but it is time to ask some questions again.”
It is interesting to note that the Bible seems to give multiple warnings that may be directed towards China. In addition to their connection to the pale horse, Revelation 16 records how the Euphrates River will be dried up to make room for the “Kings of the East” to invade Israel.
China is one of the few nations in the world that could meet the requirements of a 200 Million man army as described in this chapter.

Re: Plagues
The way people are now getting antibiotics for everything, and breaking down their immune system we are likely to see worse than MRSA.
I got a letter from my insurance today suggesting I get all these shots, and vaccinations, no thanks.
Even with my pain, and other issues, I still have a powerful immune system, and plan to keep it that way.

Zika Warning: Virus 'Spreading Explosively'
The Zika virus is "spreading explosively", the head of the World Health Organisation has warned amid fears it may be carried by the common mosquito.
Speaking at a meeting of WHO member states, Director-General Dr Margaret Chan said the level of alarm over the virus has become "extremely high".
The mosquito-borne virus has been linked to a steep increase in the number of babies born with severe birth defects, including abnormally small heads.
"A causal relationship between Zika virus infection and birth malformations and neurological syndromes has not yet been established, but is strongly suspected," the WHO chief said.
"The possible links, only recently suspected, have rapidly changed the risk profile of Zika, from a mild threat to one of alarming proportions," she added.
Dr Chan has called an emergency meeting on 1 February to discuss whether the outbreak, which is taking hold across South and Central America and the Caribbean, qualifies as an international public health emergency.
The WHO warning came as scientists in Brazil said it is possible the virus is carried by the common mosquito.
Up until now it was thought the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is confined to the tropics, was solely spreading the virus.
Cases have so far been reported in 23 countries and territories, with Brazil among the worst affected.
Between three and four million cases of the virus are expected, infectious disease expert Marcos Espinal warned, although he did not give a time frame.
US health authorities have confirmed 31 reported cases of the Zika virus in the country among people who have travelled to affected areas.
A small number of Europeans have also tested positive, including five British travellers.
The Foreign Office is advising pregnant women to reconsider travel to affected areas while France's health minister has gone a step further and "strongly" urged pregnant women to postpone their trips.
In several of the affected areas, including El Salvador and Colombia, women have been advised not to get pregnant altogether.
There are no known vaccines, specific treatments or rapid diagnostic tests for the virus, something the WHO has highlighted as a particular concern.
With the exception of the risks for unborn babies, Zika is not considered dangerous.
Common symptoms can last up to a week and include fever, rashes, joint pain and conjunctivitis.
