re: Ebola nightmare for the night

I rest assured knowing Ebola has been around for a long time and usually runs its course in Africa before dying out. Flu and colds on the other hand run amuck in the US (with better sanitary conditions). I don't trust the Govt worth a crap but do believe ebola is probably easily contained. I sure as hell hope I am right because it is nasty shite and doesn't play.

Oh, I am resigned to dying from it. The more it multiplies, the more chance it has to mutate and become airborne.

One group of researchers looked at how Ebola changed over a short period of time in just one area in Sierra Leone early on in the outbreak, before it was spreading as fast as it is now. They found more than 300 genetic changes in the virus.
"It's frightening to look at how much this virus mutated within just three weeks," said Dr. Pardis Sabeti, an associate professor at Harvard and senior associate member of the Broad Institute, where the research was done.
I'm afraid that trying to treat people who have contracted it is like Lizzie playing with the walkers.
