Guinea battles to contain Ebola as Senegal closes its border
Guinea is racing to contain a deadly Ebola epidemic spreading from its southern forests to the capital Conakry, as neighbouring Senegal closes its border.
Eight cases of Ebola have been confirmed in Conakry, the Guinean health ministry said late Friday, including one fatality.
Across the country, "the total number of suspected cases recorded from January to 28 March 2014 is 111 cases of haemorrhagic fever including 70 deaths ... or a fatality rate of 63 percent," the ministry said in a statement.
Samples taken from 45 of the suspect cases included 19 which tested positive for Ebola.
Most of the cases were recorded in southern Guinea, but the disease has spread to the capital since Wednesday.
Those infected have been put in isolation to prevent the virus from spreading, while aid organisations have sent dozens of workers to help the poor west African country combat the outbreak of haemorrhagic fever.
The tropical virus -- described in some health publications as a "molecular shark" -- leads to haemorrhagic fever, causing muscle pain, weakness, vomiting, diarrhoea and, in severe cases, organ failure and unstoppable bleeding.
No treatment or vaccine is available, and the Zaire strain detected in Guinea -- first observed 38 years ago in what is today called the Democratic Republic of Congo -- has a 90 percent death rate.
Sakoba Keita, who heads the Guinean health ministry's prevention division said it remains unclear how Ebola had arrived in Guinea.
Tests on the other cases of haemorrhagic fever are still ongoing to determine their origin.
"We hope to get (the results) quickly as these cases should be treated like Ebola as they are also deadly," he said.
Guinea is one of the world's poorest nations despite vast untapped mineral wealth, with a stagnating economy, youth unemployment at 60 percent and a rank of 178th out of 187 countries on the UN's Human Development Index.
The World Health Organisation said Liberia had reported eight suspected cases of Ebola fever, including six deaths, while Sierra Leone had reported six suspected cases, five of them fatal.
Ebola can be transmitted to humans from wild animals, and between humans through direct contact with another's blood, faeces or sweat, as well as sexual contact or the unprotected handling of contaminated corpses.
MSF said the spread of the disease was being exacerbated by people travelling to funerals in which mourners touch the bodies of the dead.
Guinea has banned the consumption of bat soup, a popular delicacy in the country, as the fruit bat is believed to be the host species.
If we get too many quakes or zombies in the states, there may be plenty of real estate available in Africa, but just don't order the bat soup.
Oh sweet Jesus. And I'm reading about Zaire Ebolavirus right now. I'm over halfway through Tom Clancy's book Executive Orders, and there's an entire subplot involving the Ebola Zaire Mayinga strain. If Tom Clancy was entirely accurate in his descriptions of the virus and what those infected by it in his book go through, oh dear god those poor bastards in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. :(
Ever seen Outbreak? That virus was very Ebola-like.Quote:

And now that I think it about, you're right, that was a very Ebola-like virus. Pretty much anything that generally requires BURNING the bodies of the dead who were infected by it to keep it from spreading, yeah, keep me the hell away!Quote:

Imagine how much something like that could spread here in the US when you could be waiting anywhere from a week to an entire month just to find out if you even have it. *Shudders*
Why do you think I moved to Montana? Got to get out in front of this type of disaster :nod:. Now if the oil runs out first:oQuote:

Health experts are bracing for Zika virus to spread to the United States by April or May, borne by a mosquito that craves human blood, feeds during the day and lives under beds and inside closets.
The World Health Organization declared the Zika outbreak an international health emergency this week after evidence linking the virus to microcephaly, a devastating birth defect that can cause unusually small heads and permanent brain damage. Brazil has reported 3,700 suspected cases of microcephaly. The outbreak is now affecting at least 25 countries and territories, most of them in Latin American and the Caribbean, and could infect up to 4 million people in the Americas, according to the WHO.
More than 30 people in the United States have been confirmed to have Zika after traveling to an affected country. There has been one report of transmission within the United States, but experts believe that will increase as the weather warms up, the local mosquito population multiplies and many more travelers return to the country.
"All it takes is one of those individuals who arrives back in the United States at the stage where they have virus in their blood," said Scott Weaver, an expert in mosquito-borne viral diseases at the University Texas Medical Branch's Galveston National Laboratory. At that point, he said, a single mosquito biting the affected person could spread the disease to others.

The Zika virus, which is linked to a birth defect that causes brain deformities, primarily spreads through mosquito bites and rarely causes a severe illness in adults.
Lives under beds and inside closets...... so it's the boogie man insect?

Someone read through the entire terms of Amazon's AWS Service Terms. They were recently updated to include a new section, section 57 regarding the Amazon Lumberyard Engine.
Some of the text inside section 57 is mighty interesting.
