Ebola: The Global Health Threat Most Are Still Ignoring

    Almost a week ago, the World Health Organization declared the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ebola outbreak to be a “global health emergency.” Since then, most have failed to take notice or just plain ignored the ongoing problem.

    The emergency declaration came after a man infected with the Ebola virus brought the disease to the Congolese city of Goma, a highly populated transit hub with an international airport and next door to Rwanda. As it stands today, the current Ebola outbreak has surpassed 2,500 cases and 1,500 deaths concentrated largely in two provinces in eastern Congo.

    The response effort has been hampered by a deadly mix of armed conflict, distrust, and lack of medical resources, according to a report by Tech Crunch.  Less than half of the affected population trusts the government and Ebola responders and armed groups have even killed responders. Public health experts expect the outbreak to continue into the foreseeable future. So where’s the notice to the public?

    Outside the public health community, there has been relatively little concern in America about the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history. During the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic, which also generated an emergency declaration, the public was alerted to the numerous health concerns that rapidly became global.

    When determining the amount of attention an event should receive, public health professionals and news editors face a similar question: is this event significantly different from the baseline, or what’s expected? If so, the event can be considered an outbreak and demands the public’s attention. If not, the event would be considered part of the expected baseline and not enter the public consciousness. –Tech Crunch

    If that’s true, does the lack of coverage mean people aren’t going to be susceptible to this particular story and ratings will drop?  Most likely. Propaganda has been selling more than real news. Could the very outbreak be nothing more than fear propaganda designed to brainwash people into parting with their own money? Absolutely! In fact, Tech Crunch admits it:

    For potential donors, the absence of fear and public attention is causing a shortfall in funding needed for response and preparedness efforts (e.g., surveillance, healthcare infrastructure) that can limit an outbreak’s spread.

    If fear can be leveraged to contain the current outbreak and fund preparedness efforts, fear can also eliminate future Ebola headlines for the right reasons; because we eliminated the threat, not because it becomes an endemic problem. –Tech Crunch

    But what we do know, is that Ebola is a very real and deadly viral infection.  And there are steps that can be taken to prevent it from the preparedness community. We suggest you prepare yourself and don’t count on any government agency to help you. You shouldn’t ignore Ebola, however, you should prepare so that you are not living in fear of it either. 

    While the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have both expressed serious concerns that we are on the brink of disaster, border enforcement agencies seem blithely unconcerned. It’s really up to you to protect your family.

      1. First Aid Kit: I am putting together a PFK (Personal First Aid Kit) and I am thinking about using a lunch box insulated bag as the container/carrier. Since it will carry medications I am concerned with how temperature variations will effect them. It was over 100 a few days ago so that issue is on my mind.

        This is what I have for a get home PFK so far:

        1. 2 Military Sterile Gauze
        2. 2 Israeli Compression Bandages (6 and 3 inches)
        3. 4 Sterile Gauze Pads
        4. Regular, Medium and Large Band-aids and Alcohol Pads
        5. 1 Quick-Clot Sponge Large
        6. 1 QuikClot Advanced Clotting Gauze
        7. 2 CELOX Traumatic Wound First Aid Packets

        8. 1 Tube Neosporin Antibiotic Ointment
        9. 1 Tube Hydrocortisone Itch Treatment
        10. 1 Bottle Ibuprofen
        11. 1 Bottle Anti-Diarrheal Medicine
        12. 3 Day Supple Personal Medication

        I think that’s pretty good and it’s all that will fit in that insulated container. What do you guys think? Is it a good idea to use an insulated container for your medicine kit?

        • Oops, I forgot the burn cream ointment. I will probably be working with fire a lot more during SHTF!

        • Double Oops, I will have to find a place for my Emergency Tourniquet.

        • You guys can’t say, I’m not doing my part to keep the Comment Count up?!?!

        • Justice,
          dump
          “1 Bottle Ibuprofen”.
          Use aspirin instead. Bad enough you are injured
          no need to destroy your liver too.
          I assume you mean this to be a portable first aid kit.
          You forgot Tape.
          My first aid kit is set up as though I’m sailing a boat in the middle of the Pacific so is a little bigger and better equipped.

          • Yes tape. A tourniquet can be made from lots of things. Need a knife and ace bandage and tweezers. And maybe an MP3 player loaded with death metal (you know, for effect) lol.

          • Yes tape. A tourniquet can be made from lots of things. Need a knife and ace bandage and tweezers. And maybe an MP3 player loaded with death metal (you know, for effect) lol.

        • for the diarhea im just gonna load up my rucksack with some heavy rocks and run the shit out of myself. any cuts im gonna pack with dirt and duck tape closed. rocks and dirt everywhere tape is easy to pack along.

      2. As this is a serious threat to all humanity, why aren’t all roads out of that nation blocked, and flights into or out of that area suspended? Seems that someone or some entity wants this disease to spread. Quarantine works well, so why is movement still allowed in that area of contagion?

      3. If it was, there would cancel all travel f RT om there, then place anyone traveling FROM that area in a 40 day quarantine. Ever see the tv show The Last Ship?

        • “The word quarantine comes from an Italian variant (seventeenth-century Venetian) of ‘quaranta giorni’, meaning forty days, the period that all ships were required to be isolated before passengers and crew could go ashore during the Black Death plague epidemic.”

          y said, “Ever see the tv show The Last Ship?”

          No, but another emergency comes to mind, if a modern city is closed for 40 days.

      4. The WHO has “cried wolf” so frequently that many folks don’t realize our medical professionals heroic efforts are the only thing that has prevented a PANDEMIC in recent decades. I don’t know the solution but conditions like those in our major cities bring visions of BUBONIC PLAGUE to mind. EBOLA could be our century’s version of bubonic plague.

      5. Yes tape. A tourniquet can be made from lots of things. Need a knife and ace bandage and tweezers. And maybe an MP3 player loaded with death metal (you know, for effect) lol.

      6. Several years ago there was the same crap. EBOLA! and I stated then its a west Africa boogola disease. mostly caused by the unsanitary lifestyle. It will never become a Pandemic in the USA. Certianly places like shitcago and San fran it might thrive? But who cares if those culls perish?

        • I agree. Ebola is opportunistic and thrives when people are filthy, racked with Diarrhea, have poor diets, crap wherever, drink dirty water etc.

          This is Africa but not Western countries. We have science, hygiene, lots of food, functioning government … everything Africa doesn’t have. And that’s why Ebola spreads.

          Important to remember: it was AFRICAN WHO staff who failed to take action the last time Ebola spread. The US military had to clean up the mess made by those jiggers in suits.

          • An “accidential” dropping a few fuel air bombs or a smaller nuclear device……if the disease spreads too fast or too far. For the greater good.

        • Ebola (and a host of other deadly diseases) can come into the United States with amazing ease.

          Just recently, 500 Africans from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, crossed our unprotected Southern border into Texas, where they were then put on buses going to cities around the US.
          No health screenings, no quarantine.

          My personal opinion is that the “Powers That Be”, actually want a pandemic inside the US, and around the world. After all, according to globalists, the ideal population for planet Earth is around five hundred million.

          Diseases like Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa Fever require Level 4 containment. There are only 19 Level 4 containment beds inside the United States. Anything less than Level 4 containment, poses a grave risk to staff, patients, and everyone else.

          So you have to ask the question, WHY would our own government, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization, a specialized branch of the UN, refuse to declare an emergency?
          Why would these organizations refuse to close the borders of the DRC?
          With at least 60 airports inside the DRC, 4 of them international airports, why continue to allow air travel within the country, and especially outside of the nation?

          The US government pushes the flu, MMR, and pneumonia vaccines (plus dozens of others), onto the American population, but allows illegals to enter the country without vaccinations, screenings, or quarantine?

      7. Naturopaths are claiming miracle cures from lemon, garlic, and chicken soup tier medicines, begging the question of basic, good health.

        Can you make the fruits, veggies, and meats, hunted, gathered, and grown in your yard, taste like good junkfood?

        When I am outside, I smell ugly garbage cooking. I see pale people with skinny flab, no spring in their step and I do think that contagion is possible.

      8. A lot of blacks from the Congo are coming across our southern border by the hundreds and spreading out from there. I beleive its a 21 day incubation period before it shows up. Where will all those folks be in 21 days? A matter of time……

        • Exactly. The DHS screen is a fever but with Ebola, by the time you show a fever it’s too late.

      9. Folks, try to think one single moment for yourself about some facts :
        1. Why does Ebola remain in an area that is confined in a small corner in between Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi ; and even within the proximity of Kenya and Tanzania ? Thousands of Congolese citizens cross those borders every day without carrying Ebola to the neighboring countries ???
        2. Would it be possible this is a laboratory created disease to monger fear in order to get :
        a) aid programs funded ?
        b) chase or keep people out of areas that are very rich in natural resources ?
        c) depopulate those areas in the long run in order to extract those minerals without opposition ?
        Business as usual ???
        1. Is the Ebola hysteria comparable to the avian flu, anthrax, SARS, etc.-hoaxes ? How many people died of those diseases worldwide ? Remember those media created diseases died a silent dead ?
        2. Do you believe in organizations such as the WHO, sponsored by “you know who” ?
        3. How did all those “extremely poor” Congolese refugees manage to show up at the Mexican border ? Did they swim over the ocean and/or do they have a sponsor by a Jewish/Hungarian name ?
        Think all this over, folks before going into a panic mode !
        By the way, I am living in this kind of areas.
