RiseUp! discussion

Your thoughts on the Ebola outbreak? My dad says similar things are talked about in Revelations. Ebola is the modern-day Bubonic Plague, except more dangerous. The Black Death originated in Asia and spread to Europe through trade routes. Nowadays, things spread even faster due to traveling. Speaking of that, what are your thoughts on the America who got sick and is now the first person in America sick with Ebola?

It's in NYC now..

o.o It's in New York?
That's scary...
Do they have a cure?

Wow.... Hopefully they do have a cure.

No cure

They're developing a cure as we speak. (Type.)
It's mainly in the developing world. It's not widespread enough to frighten me yet.

It'll get bigger.

Or it will be controlled well enough. Well see.

Or it'll mutate and go airborne.

That doesn't usually happen in real life, you know...

The Bubonic Plague is something entirely different and can be treated, thanks to antibiotics and modern medicine.

The Ebola outbreak.... Apparently, they have not found a cure. Yet. I wouldn't panic, though.

Usually. Not never.

Im talking about back then. They didn't have a cure back when it hit and killed thousands of people.

That was more due to lack of awareness of the virus than lack of a cure. Quarantines were not put in effect.

Just saying, you do not know for sure what will happen and this is a valid possibility.

Of course. But I see no need for scaremongering. We are really rather well prepared.

We'll see.

Aye, that we will.

Nurse cured of Ebola, read all about it!

I was watching cnn in class today and they said that someone in dallas who had recently went to south africa and now they had it

I read on BBC that somewhere [I think Africa...??] that the rate was increasing and that five people were being hospitalized an hour because of the ebola illness...

Yep that's true and they're watching 100 people who he came in contact with. Also in Dallas, Texas, 5 kids have gotten infected. Now there is word a reporter I believe is coming back from Liberia to the US and is sick with Ebola. I don't know where he's landing though.

I'm fine here in Wiltshire though. XD

So far only one person has died

In the Western world, you mean.
It's thousands in Africa etc (I may be wrong on the scale here)

That's what I mean, sorry.

OHMYGOSH JOE'S ALIVE?!

Hahaha there's a sick guy in NYC now. All everyone jokes about now is Ebola. If someone coughs, they "have Ebola". If someone is absent from school, they must "have Ebola".

My professor did that the other day. I sneeze REALLY loudly and I sneezed in class. He said he was surprised everyone didn't run out of class because of Ebola.

AND then you pop up here!

But yea, exactly.

I've been in this group for awhile I just never post.

I know ;)

At our youth group one of the kids was running around touching people, saying Ebola

I never died. I just got otherwise occupied.
