Another Ebola problem: Finding its natural sourceQuote:
A scary problem lurks beyond the frenzied efforts to keep people from spreading Ebola: No one knows exactly where the virus comes from or how to stop it from seeding new outbreaks.

Alphdoti, I am sorry if I offended your sensibilities. I did not mean to drive you away. @muriel apologies accepted. You see I'm open to sensible debate. Any logical dialogue. But when one turns around and types in abuses, then that shows one is not interested in a fair knowledge exchanges. I never abuse God myself. I never abuse Jesus (pbuh). I repsect all prophets of God. You must learn to respect God too. After all, we only have One Lord, the Creator of this Universe. Regardless of the names we use, it is the same God... Ngai, Engai, Mweai, Asis/Cheptalel, Nyasaye or Mungu or God... Muriel wrote:Not every individual or organization implements ill will against others... Right there, you said "not every", means some and not all. So it is my opinion too that some people, not all are malicious.

@symbols did that report say "natural"? Now is someone trying to divert reasoning? Picture this, if this virus was naturally somewhere, all those millions of years, or centuries, when they forefathers of Central African people used to eat Monkeys and Apes. If that was its natural place, how come this thing decided to be harmful to human only 30 years ago? Another thing. We know various strains of virus can be manufactured in lab by rearranging and combining the DNA. So to me this is still questionable

Quote:Judith says: AUGUST 18, 2014 AT 1:26 AM I have been frustrated (understatement) by the reactions by Koreans to Ebola. I asked for two days unpaid leave in the September holidays so that I could visit my family and partner in Cape Town. If they had just said no I would be fine, but instead they have called the ministry of health and had an official recommendation not to let me go for “ national health security reasons”  . Nothing personal. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

Nothing personal. people were actually quoting Korea's reaction to Ebola as the 'standard' by which we are meant to use to determine out action... statements like "if Korea with all their technology is afraid of Ebola - why is Kenya airways being reckless".... did it occur to people that Koreans may be a country of one trick ponies? Kinda reminded me of a discussion I had with some European expatriates on diseases.... they did not know what immunisation really was! they thought it was 'medicine', they had no idea flu was viral and various other things i considered obvious from my primary school education/learning! People - think for yourselves and make decisions good/bad for yourselves don't rely on decisions made by others in ignorance to be the yardstick.... uliza maswali! All Mushrooms are edible!

@masukum you must read this. And while you're still in West Africa, can you confirm the story? Folks forgive me for sharing this ritual, I almost didn't finish reading    Sambia of Papa New GuineaIn the small country of Papau New Guinea, over 1,000 different culture groups exist. Among them is the Sambia tribe, a group with perhaps the most insane rite of passage into manhood in the world. 1. The initiation begins at age seven with the separation of the boy from the mother. 2. After being separated from the women, the young boy is subjected to several brutal hazing rituals. The first involves ceremonial bloodletting from the nose. The procedure is crude, but effective. The boy is held against a tree and stiff, sharp grasses and sticks are shoved up his nose until the blood starts flowing freely. 3. Next is emen drinking (yuk!!!) The Sambia believe that both men and women are born with a tingu. The tingu is a body part that allows for procreation. They believe that by drinking the male essence of other men, the boys will become strong and virile. Done in the privacy of the forest, a boy will perform fellatio on young, usually unmarried men between the ages of 13 and 21. The boys are encouraged to “drink the male essence” as much as possible in order to become strong. 4. Around age 13, a young man has started puberty and another stage in the initiation begins. Another ritual nosebleed takes place along with some beatings to purify the young man. The boy is now considered a bachelor and will now provide the “man milk” to young boys just starting down the path of manhood 5. ... eish! What a culture

Do you know that there are documented cases from Kikwit, DRC of an Ebola outbreak in a village that had the custom of children never touching an ill adult. Children living for days in small one room huts with parents who died from Ebola did not become infected? All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
