Ebola is terrible disease that has been ravaging Africa for the last few months and has recently come into the public sphere because it has crossed the Atlantic and is now being reported in America :911:

Ebola is a pretty awful disease that has thus far killed tens of thousands of Africans, and so far a handful of Americans/ Europeans.

Ebola is transferred through contact with fluid. It has a long period of incubation, but is really only transferable when symptoms appear.

CDC posted:

Symptoms of Ebola include

Fever (greater than 38.6°C or 101.5°F)
Severe headache
Muscle pain
Weakness
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Abdominal (stomach) pain
Unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising)

Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days.

Recovery from Ebola depends on good supportive clinical care and the patient’s immune response. People who recover from Ebola infection develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years.

Post here what should go in the OP!

Recommended films on Ebola

1. EBOLA SYNDROME :nws::nws::nws::nws: The still image is fine though.
"Restaurant worker Sam (Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) is in big trouble when his employer finds
his own wife in bed with Sam. The only way out at the time seems to be murder, but Sam's
poor choice drives him to hide out in Africa. Once awakened, his bloodthirsty side no
longer has a reason to stay beneath the surface; Sam is now intent on killing for
killing's sake, serving up his victims to those who frequent his eatery and encouraging
the spread of Ebola."

Surviving the Ebola Apocalypse.

1. Seek the two C’s. When the going gets tough, the tough get free samples. The first thing we need to do is panic. The second thing we need to do is take refuge in a Costco or a Cabela's. I prefer Cabela’s for the stockpile of guns and ammo, but they only have beef jerky and maybe some of those awesome cinnamon pistachios for food. Costco has enough food and water to last a fortnight or two. Plus, TVs, books, and hotdogs. The trick is, is to have one group of survivors in each of the stores. That way, you have the best of two worlds. Exchange a rifle or two for a 60 pack of Twizzlers. It’s win/win folks.

2. Surround yourself with the right people. This is apocalypse 101 but it’s best to surround yourself with people that can help you survive. Many people believe that you should have some sort of Army Ranger or Seal Team 6 guy with you but they are bossy and have killer beards and abs. No one likes that kind of guy. Instead, surround yourself with moms. Yes, moms. They always carry diaper bags filled with gummy candy and Cheeze-Its and they also have the strength of ten men when their children are in harm’s way.

3. Avoid the sex. The Ebola virus isn’t airborne and the only way to catch it is to ingest bodily fluids or get bitten by a monkey or a fruit bat or something. (These are facts.) So, no sex. Yes, a vow of celibacy is what it takes to survive this. And seriously, why are you having sex anyways during an apocalypse. (No matter how tempting it may be to fornicate on a stuffed polar bear at Cabela’s.)For gently caress’s sake you hornballs. No spitting (phrasing) crying, or bleeding either. If one of your group gets cut while they surf around the Costco on a Roomba, you need to get rid of the problem. Suffocating them with a giant teddy bear is a fun way to die.

4. Avoid humans. After you run out of food and water it’s time to take to the streets. Hopefully many people are already dead and aren’t reincarnating. That’s zombies, not Ebola. Still, zombie rule 67 is a good example of what happens to humans during these sorts of things. Humans, who are already assholes, turn into bigger assholes. They will rape, maim, or kill anyone in your group for something as small as a Tic Tac. So the course of action is to avoid all humans. Take what you stole from Cabela’s and camp. I know camping sucks, but finding a nice spot in the middle of a forest is better than finding a nice spot in a mall filled with cannibals. Plus you can pretend you are Naked and Afraid and lose like 45 pounds in 21 days.

5. Shoot to Kill. You can no longer value human life outside of your group. Everyone and anyone is a threat and should be treated as one. Oh you see your Nana with another group? Shoot to kill. No exceptions. She could be infected or she could tell you a long boring story about the hit Fox show Bones. Either way, you win.

At page 185 people were still being smug about how ebola could never happen to the first world because healthcare.

By page 4 of this thread hopefully everyone has ebola and died so no one can post anymore.
