Its the doctor who contracted it. They're taking him to Emory in isolation. It will not cause an outbreak here. What should we do for a doctor who basically sacrificed his life to help the most helpless of people on earth? There is a very minute chance btw that he could survive. There have been...
Another Freak of nature I've noticed lately is Herschel Walker. That guy looks better at 50 something than most people ever will. Won a cpl pro MMA fights a year or so ago. Old guys like them keep me going. Living proof that what you stop doing you stop being able to do and that if you maintain...
I met him in 1979. I was a kid and he was billed as The Black Atlas. He was in a regional match in Jacksonville Fl. Gave me an autograph. Idk now but he seemed to the kid in me at the time as the largest human id ever seen. Was nice though.
Yes but this particular virus works too fast for that. Worst case a hundred people and only then if no one reported to an ER or doctor and just kept running into new people. A day or 2 after symptoms appear you aint feeling like going no where but a hospital. The danger will be mostly to health...
No. It, south america and Asia are the worlds hot bed of emerging pathological viruses and bacteria. Much of them zoonotic in nature. They jump from animals to humans and then continue to mutate till human to human transmission becomes possible. Many theories say its due to the livestock many...
The CDC has a team sitting on ready now. No matter what the opinion of govt agencies are - and mine is pretty damn low- they handle these things as best as possible and better than anyone else in the world can. Glad to know there's a fellow lab rat here though. :cool:
Not true at least not in my experience and im a MLS that has worked in microbiolgy and i now work at a School that trains nurses and lab techs as well as premed students. No one is ready for the 1 st couple of cases of any disease like this. Just as someone mentioned haunta virus earlier in the...
It is not airborne. It can be spread through aerosol whis is droplets that come from speaking, sneezing, coughing etc. If it were airborne you'd see a hell of a lot bigger reaction. And yes the news nowdays has so much time to fill they tend to sensationalize any event to a huge production. And...
The CDC has a protocol in place but there is no way to completely protect everyone from every risk. The truth is, fortunately, it isn't that easy to spread this disease. Of the 1000 plus cases confirmed on a 3rd world continent, how many currently uninfected people came in contact with those who...
Yes and ebola is the most efficient killer of all the hemorrhagic fevers. Something in the range of 95-98% mortality. That is the scary part. There are some characteristics of it that prevent it from becoming a large pandemic disease in the sense that AIDs/HIV has become. One it is so efficient...
Udca, Tudca, and NAC are all great. They actually have the ability to restore some function to damaged hepatocytes. NAC in high doses is what hospitals administer as an antidote for acetaminophen poisoning to bring the enzyme levels back in line. Milk thistle is a good addition to any liver...
