one question though. it has a potential fatality rate of 90% for those that it infects, but nobody ever says what % of people are susceptible to catching it.
Anyone can contract Ebola, it doesnt discriminate against race/sex/capital wealth or anything. Just buggers you up.
AFAIK, the mortality rate can be upto 90% if left untreated, the fact they are catching it earlier and opting for the paracetamol/saline solutions for hydration is preventing quite a few deaths
Seems there are now restrictions on some flights leaving west Africa but only within Africa itself. If someone was infected and got on a place anywhere else and was unlucky enough to be in early stages of the disease with a higher end incubation period, that would essentially be everyone on the plane infected and anyone in contact with the infected geezer too.
If an Outbreak Scenario occurs and the current Ebola evolves into an airborn pathogen affecting humans, then its a pretty messy ending.
Wasn’t Retson the one that evolved into and airborn and affected monkeys but not humans?
