DR. TOM FRIEDMAN JUST PRESENTED A LECTURE indicating that CDC still have not found the reservoir of the Ebola Zaire virus. It have not been validated in bush meat. YOU STILL SHOULD NOT EAT IT. When ever I see a video relative to an Ebola outbreak, there are always kids in the background playing in muddy alley waters or as. in new a Guinea, muddy ponds or rivers
Now that there is one completed and two more proposed British Ebola Testing Labs, in LIBERIA will PRESIDENT OBAMA give testing these waters priority. Of course the virus might be harder to detect, and more diluted. That DOES NOT MAKE IT IS LESS VIRULENT. Can you give this type of TESTING priority, so we can mitigate this Ebola Crisis.
Social media and YOUTUBE posting have played an important part in helping to eradicate this epidemic in Liberia. There are people with experience, that can make significant contributions, however, in order to do so, have to circumvent BUREAUCRACY.
PARENTS KEEP YOUR KIDS OUT OF MUDDY CONTAMINATED WATERS UNTIL TESTING FOR EBOLA IS DONE.. EBOLA PATIENTS ARE VOMITOUS AND EXPELLING BODY FUILD ON GROUND. ONE DROP OF BLOOD CAN CONTAIN TEN MILLION EBOLA VIRUSES.
IF YOU HAVE STANDING DIRTY WATERS IN YOUR YARD POUR CLOROX BLEACH IN IT TO MAKE IT SAFER. HOWEVER STILL KEEP KIDS AWAY UNTIL THIS EPIDEMIC IS OVER.
THE EARTH’S CRUST IS TWO PERCENT CHLORINE, SO A DILUTED AMOUNT IS GOOD FOR PLANTS. THEREFORE, THERE SHOULD BE NO ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS, JUST A SAFER ENVIRONMENT.
