BillieGOAT 5,272 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ebola isn't even bad.. it was bad in Africa because they can't sanitize anything. It can be very easily treated with antibiotics :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucia4 0 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ebola isn't even bad.. it was bad in Africa because they can't sanitize anything. It can be very easily treated with antibiotics :roll: Err I thought they didn't have a cure and it killed 60-90% of those affected... From a certain species of big bats. The virus isn't new, it was already known in the 70s. Didn't it come from eating bush meat (monkeys to be specific) instead of bats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieGOAT 5,272 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Err I thought they didn't have a cure and it killed 60-90% of those affected... Yeah.. IN AFRICA. Where they have no means of sanitation so disease spreads and grows rapidly. Antibiotics can be used to treat Ebola so the no cure part is 99% false.

Then why did all those confirmed western Ebola patient die who came back from Africa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't it come from eating bush meat (monkeys to be specific) instead of bats? Maybe, many animals can be infected with the virus....but I researchers say a species of fruit bat is the natural host of the virus (like chimpanzees for HIV). It is transmitted through contact with the blood, secretions...etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why did all those confirmed western Ebola patient die who came back from Africa? They were subjected to African sanitation or lack there of and the virus wasn't treated in time.

I wonder how that disease spread out over the world so quickly. I should research that sometime. :x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should research that sometime. :x Yes very probably the bats are the origin, they don't get sick from the virus, so they act like natural reservoir. That's like HIV and Chimpanzees, they are immune to the virus., and lol I don't think it was transmitted to humans because people had s-x with monkeys ^^. Chimpanzees are eaten in some parts of africa . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpanzees are eaten in some parts of africa . Ah that would be the bush meat then. :) I read that it's easily transferable to humans because our DNA is similar to chimpanzees, but the chimpanzees are immune to it and we're not. Something like that. Either way I find it really hard to imagine eating monkeys. That's half cannibalism to me. o_o So sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
