Ebola has passed - it was never a real threat just so you know.

The Pandemic Flu is real and this is not going away.

the  1918 flu had been around for awhile too,just like ebola
and wasn't much of a threat

UNTIL

it mutated

and
well
we all know the rest of the story

members of this site did an OUTSTANDING job keeping everyone informed of ebola
and I for one VERY much appreciated their efforts

ebola is no longer on the front burner
but we damn well better not forget it

The 1918-19 flu was H1N1 and the bird flu but mutated to humans

The H5N1 and the H7N9 are both doing that right now only they are much worse as they now stand.

Ebola is only a problem with certain funeral practices in Africa such as kissing the body and washing the body and drinking the water.

In countries where they dont do that the Ebola was not a problem

Just remember that every single time a human gets H5N1 or H7N9 the bug takes another step to being a human pandemic virus.

H7N9 has only 2 or 3 genetic tweaks to go but H5N1 only 1 more tweek and its with us trying to wipe us out.
