Great thread, thank you for your efforts.
After foot and mouth, mad cow disease, SARS, west nile, swine flu and H1N1, my instincts are screaming at me that something isnt right here. The way this is being overblown and underplayed at the same time is confusing.
I feel this is a major diversion to take our eyes away from elsewhere.. The middle east maybe?
They introduced screening measures today at Heathrow, only for some reporters to report that the measures werent even mandatory but rather VOLUNTARY. Our screening consists of a questionnaire and a temperature reading.
This is screaming smokescreen, Im just still trying to figure out for what.
Its either just a big scare story, or its being allowed to spread ON PURPOSE. Because the authorities here in the UK at least certainly don't seem to be taking it seriously as a threat, while telling us it is a threat.
Also we have 26 places set aside for an outbreak. That's so pathetic its not even funny.
We also have nurses and doctors saying we aren't prepared, while the government claim that we are.
Either they know its a scare story, or they are leaving the defenses down on purpose.
EDIT: I'm thinking this may be a smokescreen for an economic meltdown. But that's just a conspiracy theory.

I have never seen any disease that is contagious and can be spread by mosquitos.
Malaria, West Nile, Dengue Fever, Yellow fever? Maybe I misunderstood your post?
I meant contagious by humans and spread by mosquitos, as far as I know these are mutually exclusive vectors.
If you live in the same house as someone with one of these diseases, you will not get the disease. You either get diseases from mosquitos, or from other humans, but not both (of course there are other ways that do not involve humans or mosquitos).

You can't tell me that there's no cure for this disease ? As long as Ebola is known and scientist's studying diseases are always eager to find the cure to be the first for fame and glory.
But not the lower class of society will get the cure no it will again be the ones who can afford it .. The most dangerous biological weapon has been released and we will see devastating effects within the next coming months .. whole economies will collapse just because the medicines that can cure the disease will not come..
Thank you governments for not closing all air traffic that posses threats to our countries.

Anyone else remember Obama saying something not too long ago about sending troops to W. Africa to help combat the disease?
Armed troops......against a virus?
Sounds like a legit reason alright.
I'm not saying that this Ebola outbreak was somehow planned, it just seems very convenient that all of a sudden the US has an excuse like Ebola to shove a foot (or a military boot) in the door in these countries.

It's puzzling. I do believe in the de-population agenda -- so it's not inconceivable to me that they're allowing this to spread. But we may be on the brink of an economic meltdown as well. People have been predicting that for years. Failing that, we may be facing WWIII in the Mid-east -- ISIL, Iran with nukes, etc... Oh, happy world!

No, that is not accurate. There are many that don't show a High Fever. I quoted from his article to show that they were specifically talking about a fever of 101.5 or greater.
Pretty much every Ebola patient ever had at least a mild grade fever. It is Ebola's way to make the body sweat so it can shed.
Those articles are saying that too much emphasis is put on looking for a high fever, when about 12-13% never ever have a high fever.
The Ebola outbreak of 2014 has demonstrated very clearly the vast harm that infectious diseases can cause when combined with other exacerbating factors. Poor health systems, a slow international response, low public trust in government and medicine in the outbreak area, the introduction of the virus to urban settings, and social practices such as burial rites that increase the risk of contagion have created a ‘perfect storm’ for Ebola transmission (1). The gravity of the Ebola outbreak is demonstrated by thousands of deaths,1 and by the potential for further spread. The interconnected and cross-border nature of the threat has facilitated Ebola transmission in West Africa, and it has also led to cases appearing in both the United States and continental Europe.

Ebola....the possibility to become a "highly" deadly infectious, transmutable or communicable disease...Ebola is a virus, which can become an infectious, transmutable or communicable disease. Ebola is infectious...a disease is not(research the difference). Diseases do not become infectious. Viruses can and most often times become "infectious". Especially, Ebola!
Ebola is a contagious virus which has the potential to become an infectious disease. Ebola is infectious. It is a virus!
Infection/Infectious means:
Infection
If you do not understand any of this, at the very least look here:
World Health Organization/Ebola
