if there is one thing i know, iceland is pretty much impossible to infect so everyone just move there.

but if something hits iceland they all die cause they're gen pool is small they're basically all cousins

ebola is also a virus that sucks at being a virus. its the goon of the virus world

if it hits the west it'll be for the sake of their god drat monkey stew


really tho, seems like it could spread super easily especially in countries with former colonies where people are coming and going from africa all the drat time to see family and what not. brussels belgium i will miss your fries and chocolate

Maybe the United States can just outlaw insane and unnecessary cultural foods? Like lutefisk, ripe cheeses, and bushmeat? Maybe once there was a dire need to eat just the nastiest poo poo left lying around. Once upon a time human beings had to eat or starve to death. Now that is no longer the case. Seriously, "bushmeat" is not even a real thing - it's just any drat animal from dried up bats to roadkill. That's like saying you're willing to eat whatever you find in a dumpster provided your stomach can technically digest it.

Also "an African delicacy" my eye. More like an African mistake. Or an African approximation of meat from a game animal. Or an African person couldn't tell the difference between this and an animal raised intentionally for food and inspected by the FDA for disease and cleanliness.

mortality rate is ~60% so far, which is p low for ebola but not unprecedented. usually its between 60-90%.

Some are as low as 0% like that lazy American, Ebola Reston strain.

Lol even Americas deadly viruses are fat and lazy.

The low mortality rate is likely also causing the high infection rate. Usually ebola kills everyone so quickly it doesn't spread. This is why we should blame the survivors.

Somebody get started on developing time travel so that in a few decades we can send somebody into the past to save humanity only to have them discover that their presence and inevitable death was intrinsic to the spread of the virus all along.
