Interesting indeed, thanks. Although I should stress I don�t think viruses are some sort of natural mechanism of population control � I�m aware it�s generally lack of resources due to over-subscription that leads to starvation and so on. What the article mentions which I think is important is that humans have, to some extent, broken the normal mechanism of environmental equilibrium:

quote:

That being said, limiting factors such intraspecific competition no longer apply to humans. We redistribute resources and share amongst our population regardless of the fitness level of the individual. Human advancement in social infrastructure, for example in such areas as our medical system and urban sanitation, makes the concept of limiting factors non-applicable to our population size

As the article states, we�ve been steadily overloading the planet for around 35 years now, and the inequality of development, wealth and resource distribution has meant a large percentage of the human population are living in abject poverty while a smaller percentage hoard most of the resources. This unsustainable population hasn�t starved to death (yet) but it has been left extremely vulnerable. There�s nothing particularly �natural� about this situation, but the result is still countless millions of people living in conditions rife for a lethal virus outbreak. I mean, think of what could happen if this shit does spread to India. And people are worried about America?

Anyway, I know it�s far from an original idea and I�ve no intention of writing some hackneyed Chrichton-esque �viral thriller�. It just sent a jolt of horror through me to read what I�d mused as a diegetic sci-fi plot device being described as a potential imminent reality by someone who has dealt with the virus in question first hand.

I think the CDC is completely useless. How many billions have been poured on this agency to support plain fucking stupid causes like 'how strained relationships affect your health' etc? Americans were told there was very little likelihood that Ebola would spread violently in the country, why were they told this, When they themselves don't know for a fact how the virus spreads?

Perhaps the government should ban all flights to and from Liberia. No, the disconnect between this president and his populace widens by the day. Seriously, what planet is he on? Going to a Hispanic Caucus to talk about letting in more people from central America and Mexico when we have a full-on health crisis in this country. It's lack of tact and plain old washington politics.

[FYI: No I haven't forgot about Reagan's Disregard for The HIV virus which lead to an AIDS epidemic amongst predominantly homosexuals and intravenous drug users in the late seventies and eighties. Measures to curve and treat this disease would have increments life expectancy.

Too much religion and all these people with their Mickey mouse degrees. ]

This is all playing out just like my last game of Plague Inc.

OH I'M SURE THIS WILL BE REALLY INFORMATIVE

^ Libertarian douche bags sucking the dicks of powers they can't even fathom (which is sad because they aren't all that covert).

SOON

Bitch is dead.

White people get ebola and they survive but when.black people get they let them.die. somthing is rotten in the state of Denmark.

DICTATORS IN AFRICA make more sense than our MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE

GLOBALIZE TELEVISE EVANGELIZE

Ebola is serious shit. It gives black ppl flu like symptoms. Black people dont get sick. When was the last time you heard of a
Black guy with the flu? Aids yes.
Sick never

It's pretty interesting watching the news about this with the sound off (I was watching it at the gym earlier). The caption across the bottom of the screen, quoted by one of the talking heads, as it flashed the (black)man's face who died in Dallas was "This is the face we will always associate with Ebola".

Now tell me that isn't an attempt to incite fear and paranoia about black people and perpetuate racism. Because I think it is.

I don't see how, they all look the same.

quote:

Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, received an experimental medicine nearly a week after being admitted into the hospital -- a far longer wait than experienced by four other Ebola patients treated in the United States. Those patients -- two each at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital and the University of Nebraska Medical Center -- received their experimental medicines immediately. Those four are U.S. citizens; Duncan is a Liberian national.

Liberian national, lol. Just say it CNN. He was black!

lol ffs


But yeah, I don't trust the news. Seriously, watch any major news channel with the sound off and it's even more blatant what a massive fucking brainwash it all is. It's scary how obvious it is and how easily the general population is influenced by it. Not that this is some kind of revelation about the media. Just saying.
