East West Nile

by funklord

It looks like the West Nile is not exclusive to the west.  A New Jersey man died from the West Nile virus last week.  The article does not give his age, as most of the deaths have been to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

*Warning Conspiracy Theory*

I have been thinking about this a lot, since the FFP has seemingly turned into a warning banner for the explosion of strange viral and bacterial infections flooding the mainstream news.  Most of these infections are not extremely virulent, Ebola being the obvious exception, so it makes you wonder why now?  These diseases are targeting the physically weaker of the society, culling the herd if you will.  Is this man made (purposeful or otherwise), or is his Mother Earth balancing the scales?

This is from the 6th, and while a little old, I felt it was worth noting.  3 people have now died, and 8 are sick.  Calls are still going out all over the world.  I have no idea how they are going to prevent this from happening in the future.  I also want them to tell us why is this happening now?

South West Nile UPDATE

My apologies, but the FFP has been down due to unforeseen circumstances.  I will make quick work of the news as there are lots of updates.

This West Nile outbreak is officially the worst in history.  Thousands of cases, but few of them are lethal.  The number of cases are up 25% from last week.  I am not one who believes this something to be feared from the actual disease standpoint, but the large number of outbreaks hitting the mainstream news is.

Ebola in the Congo

I don’t know how the FFP became the go-to place for all things disease related, but I have a string of stuff for you over the next few posts.  First of all, in Ebola news, The Congo has had 14 people die in two weeks.  That’s a person a day.  As you have read in my previous posts, Uganda had a major outbreak.  To reiterate, this is a terrible disease, 50-90% mortality rate, and contact with the victim is all you need.  Most of the victims are people helping the original victims.
