The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been officially declared a global health emergency. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued the order as the virus has been almost impossible to contain and has infected more than 2,500 people and killed nearly 1,700.
This is the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history after the one in West Africa in 2014-15, which infected 28,616 people and caused 11,310 deaths. This particular Ebola outbreak is now over a year old, and health officials saw an emergency declaration coming. People continue to become infected and die. As of Wednesday, in a formal declaration that many public health experts called long overdue, WHO says this is becoming a concern. “This is still a regional emergency and by no way a global threat,” said Robert Steffen of the University of Zurich, chairman of the WHO emergency committee that recommended the declaration, according to The New York Times.
Several factors forced the panel’s hand when making this declaration. The infectious disease reached Goma, a city of nearly two million people; the outbreak has raged for a year; the virus has flared again in spots where it had once been contained, and the epidemic hot zone has geographically expanded in northeastern Congo near Rwanda and into Uganda.

Violence against health workers has also been a constant worry for those working to contain the virus and attacks intensified after two Congolese workers were killed in their homes in Beni last week.
Officials are also puzzled by the fact that their “highly successful” and extensive use of an experimental vaccine seems to not be having much of an effect on this outbreak.
Emergency declarations are issued sparingly, reserved for outbreaks that pose a serious threat to public health and could spread to other countries. Only four such declarations have been made in the past: in 2009, for pandemic influenza; in 2014, for a polio resurgence in several countries; in 2014, for the Ebola epidemic in West Africa; and in 2016, for the Zika virus epidemic. –New York Times
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO, has described this outbreak as one of the world’s most dangerous viruses in one of the world’s most dangerous areas. Public health experts warn that the implacable spread of the virus means the outbreak could easily continue well into next year.
Ebola. Even the name of the virus conjures up mental images of a gruesome, agonizing, bloody death. Anyone who has scanned the news headlines lately has, at the very least, an inkling that a horrible disease is on the loose. It’s anyone’s best guess how soon this becomes a pandemic on American soil. While the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have both expressed serious concerns that we are on the brink of disaster, border enforcement agencies seem blithely unconcerned. It’s really up to you to protect your family. This is a collection of some of the best information in the preparedness community to help keep you and your family safe throughout this potential pandemic. Checklists are provided at the end of the book to help you gather the necessary supplies quickly and efficiently. –Ebola Survival Handbook: A Collection of Tips, Strategies, and Supply Lists From Some of the World’s Best Preparedness Professionals

I heard that the CDC was investigating Ebola outbreak in Phoenix and NYC!! The rat-pukes have weaponized these walking time-bombs and turned them loose and sent them right through the U.S. Southern Border. NO Bueno comes to mind folks, no Bueno at all.
Si-Si ! Es no Bueno por America!
America is purposely being destabilized in many ways, just like the Russian/KGB defector said we would be back in the 1970’s. The next step is revolution and Antifa/BLM/Nation of Islam/Black Panthers/La Raza/ and millions of military age Illegals is growing/arming to do just that.
Aim small/miss small and watch our fur dem hogs!
Also concerning to USA residents is the African Swine Fever(ASF) pig virus. When will it arrive on the mainland? Is it getting close to our shores?
Well yes…yes it is. The feds have imported ASF to the US already. It is on Plum Island off New York. Home of DARPA hacked power grid simulations, NY National Guard nerve gas exercises and home of Plum Island Animal Disease Center. You know, the island where Lyme disease escaped from in the seventies. The place where Hannibal Lector suggested he should be allowed to take a vacation to in Silence of the Lambs. Like Lyme disease (named for the town of Lyme right across from Plum Island on the mainland), ASF can be spread by ticks. Government vets are using the Plum Island Animal Disease Center to learn how to diagnose the disease in infected pigs. So they are purposely infecting pigs. Mebbe an infected tick will hitch a ride to the mainland when these guys ferry out every day. Or mebbe there are more nefarious plans in the works.
I thought they moved Plum Island operations to KC a few years ago, but the sale of the island to the public was later stopped. Too many skeletons buried there, no doubt.
Would not be surprised if some terrorist gets a sample and brings it across the border to any/all of our farm states like Iowa or Arkansas?
Watch out fur dem sick hogs
The Chinese have been colonizing Africa, so, sure enough, brought some kind of human, hemorrhagic condition back home, with them. It was blamed on their sooty air pollution.
Their sick hogs were supposedly carrying some Marburg-like virus (same overall symptoms as Ebola) and commies like to impose famines, on purpose.

“great masses of men are suddenly and forcibly torn from their means of subsistence, and hurled as free and “unattached” proletarians on the labour-market.”
They will cull everything, in sight, using the contagion for their excuse, saying that it survives cooking, pickling, and frying.
Then, they will borrow the people into debt, in order to provide welfare for the working poor, who they impoverished, who they starved, and who they employ.
There is an agenda by some group,state, or entity to end America. Allowing third world people who may be carriers of exotic disease’s to enter our nation is nothing less than bio warfare. Someone has been trying over the last 20 years to gut our industrial base, dumb down our youth,weaken our military…..This is an unarmed third world invasion of America.
Sorry, but if the ebola disease is not occurring in countries all around the world, then it’s not a global emergency, it’s a national emergency for the country experiencing the outbreak.
Paraphrased, mad-libs for gallows humor…
‘Reagan supported the exploitation of [Ebola]-American farm workers. One of the biggest contributors to Reagan’s successful gubernatorial campaigns was California’s wealthy “agro-business” industry.’
‘[Ebolas] are Republican. They just don’t know it…’ – Ronald Reagan
‘America’s first [Ebola] billionaire, said during a CNBC appearance on Friday that [Ebola] Americans should be encouraged by the growing economy under President Trump …’
In practice, there is no substantial difference between Stalin and detached, civic nationalism, without identity politics.
Independents will be treated like Ebola.
The savage eaters of diseased bushmeat will be treated like patriots, in full compliance with the tax regime.

Will they now limit travel or quarenteen?
No….they want it to spread.
And that is why God created napalm. And also flame throwers, something the Chinese military constantly train to use. You can watch the videos on You Tube: the Chinese have industrial strength flame throwers that are set to “black”.
If things get out of hand they will just cook off the Africans.
There seems to be an especially satisfying “cleansing” quality to flame throwers.
Flame throwers are the most hygienic solution to human vermin. They worked very well in the Pacific campaign in WWII. I have a strong feeling they will be the iconic weapon of the 21st century.
f said, “If things get out of hand they will just cook off the Africans.”
White, pathological altruists cook African savages.
Heart warming Frank, just heart warming!?
Was only a matter of time; now watch it turn up in places around the world. Many of us nurses have been calling this will happen- Ebola makes it to civilization finally.
Look at all the Africans claiming asylum in western countries- that will be patient zero
Third world scum need to stay in their third world s-hole countries.
