*Breaking* Ebola has reached the U.S.


Recommended Posts

Well if it only spreads through body fluids, that guy was an idiot for coming into contact with body fluids of an ebola carrier and then traveling abroad having knowingly done so. He should be incinerated immediately before the virus has a chance to mutate into an airborne one.

 

 

You do realize that contact could have been a hand shake or simply touching something that someone else touched that had it without even knowing.  :rolleyes:

So it spreads a lot easier than people would have you believe? The whole "body fluids only" thing makes it sound like you need to lick their eyeballs or something. Spread by casual contact = he and all of his contacts should be incinerated. Take no chances.

I sure hope it doesn't get out of hand here; it probably won't.

 

 

About half the time at the hospital when we get a CDEF infection, it spreads to adjacent rooms. Now i'm sure part of that is bad infection control at that hospital, but this guy was out in public for a bit before coming into the hospital and getting diagnosed. This could easily spread like crazy. Think on this, if we have trouble controlling the spread of CDEF in a hospital with contact isolation in place, what makes you think we can control an extremely contagious Ebola strain?

This will be the movie Contagion, except in real life.

 

Contagion movie in real life=terrifying

Sweat is a bodily fluid that ebola particles can survive in. The problem is people touch their face thousands of times an hour and if you shakes someones hand or touch a surface that has the particulates, you take the chance of infecting yourself. Hence why health care workers constantly wash their hands or use disinfectants all the time when working in their fields. The suggestion that people should be incinerated goes to show just how ignorant you truly are. Iv seen some dumb comments but holy crap that takes the cake.

 

Do you even realize that the flu kills more people each year then ebola has killed in 40 yrs?

From what I understand it's not very easily communicable, so I'm pretty confident we'll be able to keep it under control.

This is absolutely true, but this is in part because those who die from it are either children, or are from the geriatric population with weakened immune systems. Ebola will kill next to 50% of those who get it treatment or not. If it is even as contagious as the flu, its still going to be a horrible thing to spread.

You're pretty much hoping ebola spreads. All of the ebola carriers must immediately be incinerated.

 

That is all. I am going to purchase a flamethrower now.

 

 

America has the best doctors and public health infrastructure..

 

 

 

 

Out of curiosity - who pays for the healthcare associated with quarantine in the United States? I assume it is the federal government, not the patient, as quarantine is a federal matter.

Holy retarded statement batman. Nothing in my post remotely suggests that I hope it spreads. I get that you're trolling, there's just nothing funny about trolling about people's lives.

Agreed, like sneezing, coughing, sweating, ect... The media (Director of the CDD) so far are downplaying or as of last night anyway. Don't worry though Enron, our resident Phd's,Virologist, MicroBiologist are on it for us bro.

Will Judge Jeanine Pirro claim this is a plot by ISIS and blame Obama and RADM Boris D. Lushniak, M.D., (our Acting Surgeon General)?     :/

Probably but you can bet your sweet ass that Obama WILL blame someone else.

It's not really a federal thing, its a health precaution. You can be quarantined for a good deal of diseases. Its just another room in a hospital so it'll be part of the hospital charge. My mom was quarantined once because they thought there was a chance she had TB (she didn't).

are you guys serious? You really think that the guy caught it or something? US is releasing the virus themselves, they need to lower the population without getting the blame other than releasing diseases and virus's. People are so brainwashed these days they wouldnt believe that the government is doing it, if Obama himself came out and said it. Things will only go worse and worse. There is no way of surviving this other then through Christ. And yes you are all going to start saying how im this and that and take my fairy tales elsewhere, but the truth is, that its all real and will happen, becuase it says so in the Bible.

You might find this shocking but there's plenty of information about ebola on the interwebs and you need is basic reading comprehension.

 

Here's a good starting point... http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php

It will be funny watching people like you push back your end of the world scenario when this fizzles out.  :rolleyes:

That's funny I didn't see anything about ebola in there lol, You should read the boy who cried wolf people say this every time anything bad happens hover the same people are nowhere to be found when it blows over :rolleyes:

    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
