    As of May 31, 2015 - map of Ebola in Africa



    New Cases in the last 21 days, distribution



    Who does the World Health Organization consider as "PRIORITY COUNTRIES" ?

    The initial focus of support by WHO and partners is on highest priority countries – Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali and Senegal – followed by high priority countries – Burkina Faso, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Mauritania, Nigeria, South Sudan, Niger, and Togo.

    The criteria used to prioritize countries include geographical proximity to affected countries, trade and migration patterns, and strength of health systems.

    Travel Restrictions

    Travel restrictions remain in place despite improvement in the Ebola outbreak

    Many Ebola-related travel bans remain in place and should be taken into account by members in the region, though some countries have relaxed their restrictions due to a reduction in the virus' transmission in affected countries. A number of regional and international airlines also continue to restrict flights or follow modified schedules, though Air France has announced plans to resume its thrice-a-week flights to Freetown (Sierra Leone) on 30 June. Travellers should reconfirm the status of flights before setting out, as this can change at short notice.

    Specific details of restrictions are difficult to verify and subject to change while the implementation of state-imposed entry conditions can vary. However, the Japanese and South African authorities on 25 May lifted restrictions on travellers from Liberia after the World Health Organization declared the country Ebola-free on 9 May. Members in the region, particularly those travelling to or from the Ebola-affected countries of Guinea and Sierra Leone, should seek itinerary-specific guidance from the relevant authorities on screening procedures and entry requirements.

    The following Ebola-related restrictions are in place:

    Flights and other transport

    Air France flights to Sierra Leone have been suspended since 28 August 2014. However, the airline has said it will resume its thrice-a-week flights to Freetown on 30 June.

    Kenya Airways on 4 June is expected to resume services between Accra (Ghana) and Freetown (Sierra Leone). However, there will be no direct flights operating between Nairobi (Kenya) and Freetown. Earlier, the carrier on 15 May resumed flights to Monrovia (Liberia) following the lifting of Kenya's ban on passengers from Liberia.

    Flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone on the Togo-based carrier Asky Airlines remain suspended.

    Arik Air (Nigeria) flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone remain suspended.

    British Airways has extended its suspension of flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone until further notice; the flights were previously scheduled to resume on 31 March.

    Emirates Airlines services to Guinea remain suspended.

    Gabon has banned the entry of flights and ships from countries affected by Ebola.

    Other airlines have modified their routes but are still operating regularly scheduled services. These include:
    • Brussels Airlines
    • Royal Air Maroc

    Entry restrictions
    Botswana has banned entry for all non-citizens travelling from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since 18 August 2014. The country's health ministry on 9 April said that it was maintaining those entry restrictions.

    Cape Verde since 9 October 2014 has denied entry to non-resident foreigners coming from countries with ‘intense Ebola transmission' (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone), or those who have been to those countries in the previous 30 days.

    Chad's land border with Nigeria at Lake Chad has been closed since 21 August 2014. Travellers originating from or transiting through Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone are banned from the country; airlines serving Chad are also reportedly rerouting flights.

    Equatorial Guinea is denying entry to travellers whose journeys originated in countries affected by Ebola.

    Gabon since 22 August 2014 has restricted the issuance of entry visas to travellers from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone on a case-by-case basis.

    Japan on 25 May lifted a ban on travellers from Liberia after the World Health Organization declared the country Ebola-free on 9 May.

    Kenya on 12 May lifted the entry ban on passengers travelling from and through Liberia. However, the ban on travellers from Guinea and Sierra Leone, excluding health professionals supporting efforts to contain the outbreak and Kenyan citizens, remains in place.

    Mauritania has banned entry to nationals of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone since 25 August 2014.

    Mauritius has banned entry to all travellers who have visited Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in the 21 days prior to travel to the country.

    Namibia's foreign ministry has banned the entry of foreigners travelling from countries affected by Ebola since 11 September 2014.

    Rwanda since 22 August 2014 has banned entry for travellers who have visited Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone in the 22 days prior to travel.

    Seychelles retains a ban on entry for travellers who have visited Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone 21 days prior to their journey, with the exception of Seychellois citizens. Nationals of the aforementioned countries must apply for a visa in order to enter the Seychelles. An earlier ban in place for travellers arriving from Congo (DRC) has been revoked.

    South Africa has lifted a ban on Liberians on 25 May. The entry restrictions for all non-citizens travelling from Guinea and Sierra Leone remain in place. However, the government has clarified that this is not a blanket ban and could be waived for 'absolutely essential travel'.

    Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states – Angola, Botswana, Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe – have said travellers coming from Ebola-affected countries (according to the World Health Organisation, WHO) would be monitored for 21 days and that travel to member countries for any gatherings would be discouraged. The SADC provided no details as to how member countries would carry out the associated screening and follow-up, and it is likely that countries will have individual processes. There are also reports that some countries require health documentation for entry. Travellers should contact the embassy or health ministry of their destination country to clarify their individual circumstances and prepare their trips accordingly.

    South Sudan has banned travellers coming from Congo (DRC), Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone, or those who have travelled to those countries in the preceding 21 days. According to the health ministry, the entry of travellers from Nigeria depends on their travel history in that country and whether they have visited Ebola-affected areas.

    Medical screening

    Entry and exit health screening is in place in numerous countries throughout West Africa, as well as in countries in Europe and North America; related measures can include the partial closure of land borders, ports and river crossings in an effort to restrict cross-border travel. Members should allow additional time to pass through medical screening and not travel if they are sick. Staff should continue to monitor local media and our Ebola website for developments.


    Travel Advice



    Defer non-essential travel to Guinea and Sierra Leone.

    Travel to Liberia can proceed.

    Travellers flying from countries affected by Ebola should enquire with the relevant embassies or health ministries about any requirements conditioning entry at their destination, and prepare accordingly.

    Reconfirm bookings on all regional routes as increased demand is likely. We do not hold information on specific flights.

    If one's flight is disrupted because of suspected Ebola cases, contact the Assistance Centre for additional advice and support with onward travel.

    Allow additional time during arrival and departure to pass through enhanced medical screening. Do not travel if you are sick. Persons with fever or other Ebola-like symptoms may be taken to designated centres or have entry/exit denied.

    Ebola - Is it still on the minds of US officials?

    YES.. quietly though.. after the 'ebola czar' put the quash on the media, (similar to how Liberia put the heavy handed shut up or else decree to media..) Ebola is actively being monitored for IN the USA.

    Richmond Virginia - USA

    The Virginia Department of Health announced Thursday 18th June, that it is monitoring even more people for Ebola.

    At the beginning of the month, the Department of Health says it was monitoring 103 people — that number has now gone up to 123.

    The majority of those travelers under active monitoring are in Northern Virginia.

    Seven cases are in central Virginia.

    Federal rules require anyone coming to the U.S. from Guinea and Sierra Leone be monitored for Ebola-like symptoms.

    It was also announced that the CDC and the Virginia Department of Health are no longer requiring active monitoring for people who have traveled to Liberia.

    What about people coming FROM Liberia? (see the list of Countries monitoring in the post above (#992).

    Ebola, back in "zero case" Liberia - young person dies from this.

    Was it really gone or not being reported? (suppressed)

    (Source)

    Al Jazeera news reporting in Margibi County the person (a 17 year old boy) has died and been buried. Positive tests showed it was an Ebola infection, a mere 6 weeks after the country was declared "clear" of the infection (having no new case appear in 42 consecutive days..) Strange logic with so much lack of communications to declare a country clear where this disease runs through so often.. The Nedowein area where he died is close to Liberia's international airport. That is the concern.


    Meanwhile Sierra Leone, Guinea are still concerned about the spread continuing.

    The location of the Liberian infection the coastal Margibi County, is much nearer the capital Monrovia than the borders. Liberia is using quarantine now where the infection occurred.

    (Source)

    Guinea is doing quarantines near the coastal communities. Three towns were quarantined in the Forecariah district, where the Ebola outbreak has persisted for more than a year.

    This is the first time the Guinean government has quarantined a large area since the regional outbreak began in December 2013.

    International partners say the coastal region is the only part of Guinea where the Ebola virus has not been contained.

    However, several people who came in contact with Ebola are reported to have fled the region. Most are said to have gone to the capital, Conakry. The government has said that searches are under way to track them down.

    Another case of Ebola now in Liberia - where did it come from after being "eradicated" (or suppressed)..

    Liberia confirmed a second case of Ebola on Tuesday, just a day after the first case since the virus was declared eliminated in May.

    It's bad news for Liberia, which had worked hard to eliminate the virus. It suggests that Ebola may still be circulating undetected. Liberia's neighbors, Sierra Leone and Guinea, are still recording several new cases every week.

    Liberia was declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization on May 9 and aid workers had closed Ebola treatment units.

    The West African epidemic has killed more than 11,200 people and infected more than 27,000 since it began in December 2013. "We have two confirmed cases today in Liberia," said Dr. Moses Massaquoi of Liberia's Ebola task force. He did not provide details of the new case.

    Meanwhile over in Japan, a Japanese man in his 40s was preliminarily diagnosed with malaria on Tuesday but is undergoing additional tests for Ebola after complaining of a high fever following his return to Shizuoka from Guinea, health ministry and local government officials said Wednesday.

    And another case of Ebola surfacing in Liberia..

    The herbal doctor who treated the first reported casualty, the 17 year old, fled into the bush. Is that herbalist carrying and spreading the infection? Liberian authorities want to know.. Fear and superstition continue in the bush.

    Cases in Sierra Leone and Guinea continue to rise.

    Meanwhile, now in Congo again, 6 hunters are reported as having ebola-like symptoms.

    Folks not paying attention and adequate treatment being put on the back burner once again, lead to complacency which allows the infection (and many others) to be able to spread.

    Solve this, don't just forget it assuming it is going to go away by not "looking at it".

    Saturday, the Health Ministry in Lagos Nigeria issued a statement, that people should be aware of travelers from the affected countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and now Liberia, to be on the watch for Ebola like symptoms.

    Dr. Modele Osunkiyesi, gave the warning yesterday at the Alausa Secretariat Ikeja, while outlining strategies put in place by the government to prevent the re-entry of the disease into Lagos.

    Osunkiyesi explained that the state government in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health and other stakeholders were maintaining relevant surveillance through port health services and community surveillance activities in all local government areas of Lagos.

    The government reiterated the need for the public to ensure and maintain adequate personal and environmental hygiene at all times as part of the precautionary measures.

    The permanent secretary noted that though the prevention of Ebola remained a shared responsibility by all citizens, there was need for residents to take responsibility for their health. She reminded residents that there is no specific treatment for EVD, stressing that infected people would need to be admitted into the hospital for specialised care and treated in isolation.

    Quote Those at the highest risk include health-workers, families and friends of an infected person in the course of feeding, holding and caring for them.
    Nigeria was certified free of Ebola by the World Health Organisation on October 20, 2014 after containing an outbreak of the disease that killed at least seven people.

    The hunters in the Congo who have come down with some disease that resembles Ebola, have tested negative for Ebola according to the WHO. Four of the 6 sick hunters have died, so whatever they came down with IS serious.

    The person who was working in West Africa who came to UK with Ebola like symptoms is still being monitored, but the government reports "highly unlikely" that it is Ebola that he has.

    UK - Liverpool

    A man in Llandudno who was admitted to hospital in Liverpool amid fears he may have contracted the deadly Ebola virus, has tested negative for the disease.

    The man, who has a history of travel to west Africa, was admitted to the Royal Liverpool Hospital for tests after he became unwell yesterday (Friday, July 3).

    But today a Public Health England spokeswoman has confirmed the man, who is not thought to be from North Wales, has a negative test result for the Ebola virus.

    Dr Deborah Turbitt, Public Health England’s Ebola national incident director, said: “Between August last year and early June, 240 individuals with relevant symptoms and a travel history were tested for Ebola in the UK.

    It has not been published exactly what the man has though.

    What is odd and continues to be odd, there is mention of testing for OTHER Hemorrhagic fevers, such as Marburg, or Lassa, but they don't talk about it.. If there is a concern about being able to spread any virus, it seems the public should be informed. With the hunters they talked about killing and then contacting an obviously sick animal.. Odd that hunters would go after a sick animal for harvesting (easy prey?)..

    Malaria is being reported as increasing due to attention being paid to Ebola, possibly people not going in for treatment due to fear of contracting Ebola in the clinics..

    That so many of the hunters died though rapidly is significant, but if not Ebola, what then would kill half of them so rapidly? It doesn't seem like Malaria would simultaneously take them out..

    Quote Eugene Kabambi, a WHO spokesman in Congo, said teams from his organisation had been dispatched to Masambio but emphasised that Ebola was only one possibility.

    The new Liberian Outbreak of Ebola - initial study results

    The World Health Organization says tests on samples from the 17-year-old boy who died last week from Ebola in Liberia show the virus is genetically similar to viruses that infected many people in the area more than six months ago.

    The organization said Friday that genetic sequencing suggests it is unlikely the virus was caught from traveling to infected areas of Guinea or Sierra Leone, or from an animal.

    Dr. Margaret Harris, WHO spokeswoman, said 149 people have been identified as having contact with the teen.

    She said one possible mode of transmission could have been sexual, but it's too early to tell and tests will help track the possible cause.

    The total number of new confirmed cases in Liberia is now five, including the teen who died June 28.

    Liberian update -

    Since the 17 year old child died..

    A Liberian woman has died of Ebola in a hospital in Monrovia shortly after being admitted, becoming the sixth confirmed case of the virus since it resurfaced last month after a seven-week lull, a senior medical official said on Tuesday.

    The victim from Montserrado County, which contains Monrovia, is thought to be linked to the other five cases from neighboring Margibi County, where the disease reemerged.

    Her detection raised fears that the infection may be spreading in a new area of the country.

    "There is one new case. This time, the response area is Montserrado county. The person died in Monrovia," Liberia's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Francis Ketteh told Reuters.

    A health report sent to officials in the anti-Ebola response said that the woman died a few hours after admission, indicating that surveillance of known contacts from the earlier cases had not been rigorous enough.

    It looks like three different strain of the virus have been tested, to see which one is the most controllable or which one is the most Deadly, or both.

    Liberian Update -

    Liberia Confirms 2nd Ebola Death in Resurgent Outbreak
    MONROVIA, Liberia — Jul 15, 2015, 9:07 AM ET

    The woman in her early 20s who died on July 12 was linked to the 17-year-old boy who died last month, Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah told The Associated Press. Three other confirmed cases are being treated in Monrovia, he said.

    Some of the more than 120 people under observation in Nedowein, southeast of Monrovia, could be discharged once they complete 21 days of quarantine and show no signs of infection, he said.

    The sixth confirmed case since the virus re-emerged at the end of June was a healthcare worker in Monrovia, chief medical officer Francis Karteh said on state radio.

    "Now we have four cases in (treatment). We have six confirmed cases in Liberia — two are already dead," he said.

    The latest cluster of infections emerged in a village near the international airport in the coastal county of Margibi, when a 17-year-old boy tested positive for Ebola after his death.

    "Ebola is no longer confined to Margibi County. A case has been reported in Monrovia, but has been reported expired," Karteh said.

    "The case was carried in a critical condition to the (Ebola treatment unit) and later died."

    The man was being monitored as a known contact of one of the previous cases, but hid his illness from the authorities by taking medication to bring down his temperature, Karteh said.

    He warned that efforts to contain the outbreak were being hampered by people not admitting they'd had contact with Ebola patients.

    Quote "We need to be open. We need to be honest to ourselves. It is through honesty that we can stop this disease ... If you are to go to a general clinic with a fever you need to tell the healthcare worker that you are a contact," he said.

    Hi Bob....

    I'll post this for reference , and if you think its not appropriate , or off topic I will
    edit it out. Also I did not want to start a new thread , you may have seen
    Dr.Horowitz before and may or may not agree with him, but its a compelling
    presentation imo , and is a possible origin of these lab manipulated virus's.

    Its more about synchronicity and how many of these events or 'DOTS' as
    David Icke and others would say are connected , and I'm seeing it everywhere.
    Whether I'm seeing what I want to see/hear or not , is debatable ? But I'm
    certainly not alone and more people are waking up. This is not knew as
    there have always been 'whistle blower's' . But the mainstream has been
    able to censor much out, with the web it can be exposed more , even if
    stopping these programmes and agendas is still difficult to get out to the
    general public....Cheers Steve.

    Thanks Bill I can remember the Bill Deagle interviews and he spoke so fast with so
    much info , I think a lot of it went over peoples head at the time and some
    switched off.
    That's true! I listened to his astonishing Granada Forum Lecture eight (8) times
    through in all (that's a LOT of hours), and also had it transcribed by the Avalon
    team at the time. It really needs that to absorb and digest the enormous quantity
    of information in there. Kerry fell asleep! (Though, in fairness, she may have been tired. )
    I don't blame her after a long day..LOL . Eight times that's pretty good going and
    you made me think , I have watched/listened to many vids 2 or 3 times but due
    to lack of time and so much new material. Which vid/ interview have I watched the
    most ? Richard D Halls crop circle expose of team Satan , in Crop Circles: The
    Hidden Truth is very good and I posted it just now so is fresh in my mind and I
    have watched it several times...

    This is still a very good summery of possible events, Bird flu And Swine flu are
    still in the back ground with Aids and Sars outbreaks in Africa. There is obviously
    on going friction between Israel & Iran. But agendas are still fluid, North Africa and
    the middle east is still a mess. The Ukraine has not caused the Russian / NATO
    conflict yet. China has been flexing her muscles , but the economic slump has
    slowed down the financial markets and military spending a bit. Though in
    2010 it was Georgia not Ukraine that was being used to provoke Russia , and
    China and Japan were squabbling over Islands.

    The UK not voting for war in Syria may have delayed things for a while , though
    Cameron is determined to get Britain back on track with their Anglo Saxon allies
    and Israel. Hammond defence minister has admitted UK mil personal have been
    working in combat roles with allies in the ISIL war theatre. The Tunisian shooting
    probably orchestrated to get the UK public on board. The geopolitical situation has
    not changed that much over the past 5/6 years. So although we hope it does not
    happen , even with the new nuclear agreement with Iran , there are many Hawks in
    Washington , London and Tel - Aviv.

    On the positive side of the presentation , more people are waking up and hopefully
    if we can keep the alternate press and forums going the mainstream may shake off
    the shackles of their corporate masters , though that's unlikely in the short term.

    The crop circle thread is a bit synchronized as one of theories is that some UFO's
    as Col Corso said are us from the future .Also as Dan Burisch said with alternate
    time lines and looking glass , two types of grays , us from the future etc a whole
    another subject though related. Back to crop circles and it is us from the future
    creating them for whatever reason ? warning or greetings ?

    University Professor Says Ebola is a Genetically Modified, Lab-Made Virus

    University Professor Says Ebola is a Genetically Modified, Lab-Made Virus

    ‘In a recently released report titled “Estimating Ebola Treatment Needs,
    United States,” the CDC is still playing down its latest round of fear-
    mongering for the virus which was “meant to infect every man, woman,
    and child in the US.” To date, and by their own admission there have
    been only 10 cases in the entire U.S.

    How disappointing for the makers of the Ebola vaccine. Especially when
    publications like the Liberian Observer, in a piece by Dr. Cyril Broderick,
    expose how its “likely manufactured by Big Pharma.”

    Dr. Cyril Broderick is a former professor of plant pathology at the University
    of Liberia’s College of Agriculture and Forestry, and is on tenure as an
    associate at Delaware University.’

    Broderick claims that the Ebola virus which recently ran rampant in Western
    Africa was genetically modified, made in a lab by Western pharmaceutical
    companies, and administered to unsuspecting civilians through United Nations
    vaccination programs. The Washington Post called it a wild conspiracy theory,
    but is there actually truth to these shocking allegations?

    The truth is in this video. Dr. Broderick references Dr. Leonard Horowitz in the
    Liberian Observer article. He presents substantial evidence which explains this tidbit:


    “[Horowitz]. . .unearthed and reprinted stunning scientific documents and National
    Institutes of Health contracts proving that chimpanzees, contaminated with
    numerous viruses, were used to produce hundreds of hepatitis B vaccine doses
    administered to central African Blacks along with homosexual men in New York City
    at precisely the time Dr. Myers and colleagues claim the origin of HIV ‘punctuated
    event’ occurred.”

    Some are saying that not only was the HIV virus likely man-made, but so was
    Ebola. Who knows which other pandemic diseases are created so the mainstream
    medical system can profit from them.




    Published on 3 Sep 2012....though this presentation is from 1997 and it finishes
    aprox 205 mins in .

    A bold presentation of the truth regarding immunization as man-made tools
    for neo-genocidal eugenics and profiteering. DON'T MISS THIS relentless
    and scientifically sound exposition by a man from the inner-ring of medical science.

    Sierra Leone Faces Ebola Setback; 500 Under Quarantine
    FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Jul 30, 2015, 1:33 PM ET

    COMPLACENCY again strikes, people think it's over, and that it is not infectious (superstitions), and doing STUPID causes the outbreaks to spread, again like wildfire..

    500 people in restricted quarantine after a man died from Ebola in an area where the deadly virus had been gone for months, in another setback for the fight against the disease.

    Hassan Abdul Sesay, a member of parliament from the region, said that the victim had contracted Ebola in the capital, Freetown, and then traveled to his home village to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

    Northern Tonkolili District had not had a single case of Ebola in five months, and the World Health Organization said earlier this week that the lowest number of new cases in a year had been reported in West Africa.

    The new case shows, however, how just one sick person can change that. The man was treated for fever at a local hospital but authorities did not call the Ebola emergency number.

    As many as that ...LOL......The funny thing is I'm seeing synchronicity and
    coincidence everywhere , it may just be because I'm connecting the dots in this
    ever growing picture, and re listening to the Anglo Saxon mission set a few of
    them off. Then the very next day on Davids Headline page an article about it
    Coincidence ? or was he reading my post ? or is it synchronicity ? ..LOL

    There no scientific answer imo , just intuition.

    Ion would say its our non- physical bringing our thoughts and words into our
    physical reality. Whatever it is I'm seeing a lot of it lately and its more than sheer
    coincidence...LOL

    Catching the Bug of Synchronicity

    By ickonic on 30th July 2015 The Awakening, What is Reality?




    quote-synchronicity-is-an-ever-present-reality-for-those-who-have-eyes-to-see-carl-jung-80-89-77

    ‘Synchronicities are those moments of “meaningful coincidence” when the boundary
    dissolves between the inner and the outer. At the synchronistic moment, just like a
    dream, our internal, subjective state appears, as if materialized in, as and through
    the outside world. Touching the heart of our being, synchronicities are moments in
    time in which there is a fissure in the fabric of what we have taken for reality and
    there is a bleed through from a higher dimension outside of time. Synchronicities
    are expressions of the dreamlike nature of reality, as they are moments in time
    when the timeless, dreamlike nature of the universe shines forth its radiance and
    openly reveals itself to us, offering us an open doorway to lucidity.

    Synchronicity was one of Jung’s most profound yet least understood discoveries, in
    part because it cannot be appreciated until we personally step into and experience
    the synchronistic realm for ourselves. Jung’s discovery of synchronicity was in a
    sense the parallel in the realm of psychology to Einstein’s discovery of the law of
    relativity in physics. Because it is so radically discontinuous with our conventional
    notions of the nature of reality, the experience of synchronicity is so literally
    mind-blowing that Jung contemplated this phenomenon for over twenty years
    before he published his thinking about it.’ Jung’s synchronistic universe was a new
    world view which embraced linear causality while simultaneously transcending it. A
    synchronistic universe balances and complements the mechanistic world of linear
    causality with a realm that is outside of space, time and causality. In a
    synchronicity, two heterogeneous world-systems, the causal and acausal, interlock
    and interpenetrate each other for a moment in time, which is both an expression of
    while creating in the field an aspect of our wholeness to manifest. The synchronistic
    universe is beginning-less in that we are participating in its creation right now,
    which is why Jung calls it “an act of creation in time.”

    Who knows Steve if the powers that Be are choosing to explore a limited test of genocide against the planet's inhabitants..


    As is, Ebola doesn't appear to be going away in West Africa.. It remains a hair's breath away from countries in the West.


    I could tell you many stories about how a predominant UAE businessman name of Fadi has had it out for western civilization.. And was willing to infect people to carry out his assault.. But that is another story..

    Patient Possibly Exposed to Ebola Was Monitored in Virginia

    As part of an Ebola-prevention program, the Virginia Department of Health is monitoring someone who recently traveled to West Africa and then fell ill.

    The patient traveled in West Africa in the past three weeks and then "developed symptoms of illness," a health department spokesman said Friday in a statement.

    "Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was transported to a hospital in Northern Virginia and is now being transported to an appropriate assessment center," the statement said.

    Ebola cases not slowing in Guinea, Sierra Leone

    Liberia was declared Ebola-free in May, but new cases are still cropping up in Guinea and Sierra Leone. But the figure has increased again, with 14 cases recorded in Kambia and Port Loko in the week ending June 15, the WHO said.

    Authorities are concerned that the case could lead to a mini-outbreak in the overcrowded fishing community, which has poor sanitation and is regularly hit by outbreaks of malaria and cholera.

    “If people don’t change their attitude, there are bound to be more Ebola cases”, he said.

    Over 3000 people had died in Sierra Leone during the Ebola epidemic, many of them health workers.

    WHILE WE APPRECIATE Minister Nyenswah’s explanation that the government has a robust team deployed at the various borders with Guinea and Sierra Leone to track suspected Ebola cases coming and leaving Liberia, Liberia can’t afford to take a chance on the health and security of its citizens on the word of a ministry looking to score points and show that it has this Ebola thing under control.

    A spokesperson for the center, Sidi Yahya Tunis, said, “This is worrisome because we had already closed all Ebola quarantine structures in Freetown since we had gone for weeks without a case,“.

    New cases were continuing to “arise from unknown sources of infection, and to be detected only after postmortem testing of community deaths”, the WHO said, a key indication that the outbreak is not under control.

    “One lineage is special to Guinea and closely related to the earliest sampled viruses of the epidemic”. The sequences confirm two separate Ebola introductions into Mali in October and November 2014.

    Twenty-one days is the standard observation period for an individual believed to have come in contact with an Ebola-infected person.

    People like FADI are "global businessmen" who profit off the backs of others. Being able to manipulate health scares allows these types to profit off scares, sickness, and threats to others to give them what they want, data where to find oil, gold and blood diamonds.. Are they about love - hardly.. And they do what they can to try to silence those who have uncovered their plots. Hear that Rachel Prince? It's not going to work.. your assault on whistleblowers who have caught you and exposed you for what you are is ludicrous and the FBI has been informed of your activity. Many very interesting people Rachel Prince are now looking at just WHO you are, especially on this FORUM and in your 'military' career, just what weapons you have allowed to be stolen.. Create a "disparaging Blog' or 5 Rachel Prince to try to assault those who have caught you? Funny Rachel Prince.. thanks for sharing who you are and what you tried to do recruiting others. Your network is now obvious.

    reported: a test trial for an inoculation of Ebola surface protein stitched into Vesicular Stomatitis Virus has documentation now.

    The study, published online today by The Lancet, shows 100% protection starting 10 days after they received a single shot of the product which is produced by Merck.

    The inoculation was first developed by researchers at the Public Health Agency of Canada. (Note: We have information on this within this thread, the Canadian developments.)

    The study was lead by Ana Maria Henao-Restrepo of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, working together with colleagues at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Oslo, the Guinean Ministry of Health, and others.

    (Source)

    Craig Spencer, an emergency room physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital, made headlines in 2014 when he contracted Ebola after treating patients for the disease in Guinea.

    His diagnosis in New York City set off a wave of media coverage of the 33-year-old doctor who spent 20 days in isolation as he fought off the deadly disease. "This appears to be a positive development," Dr. Spencer appeared enthused when asked.

    It appears essential to receive the inoculation before 10 days as those who received the inoculation 21 days after exposure to Ebola were very likely to develop Ebola (the intensity of the infection after the long delay was not reported, leading to questions for further research).

    Sierra Leone reports that it is very eager to participate with studies in its Country with the inoculation.
