    Default Is this the beginning of WWZ?

    Aid workers and health officials in Guinea battled Monday to contain west Africa's first outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus as neighbouring Liberia reported its first suspected victims.
    A man is in hospital in Canada with symptoms of a haemorrhagic fever resembling the Ebola virus, a health official has said.

    The man had recently returned from Liberia in the west African region, currently suffering a deadly outbreak of an unidentified haemorrhagic fever.
    I'm not panicking just yet but it's a bit concerning that it's on 2 continents.

    I'd be more concerned about Hantavirus, if you're a camper, hiker, or like long walks in drier areas. Even around someones out building where lots of mice / rodents have resided.

    Same for WNV, considering how wet it was last year. This year could be interesting. There are also strains of Rift Valley symptoms in the central CA area. Kick it up due to drought conditions.

    There was a rather intense lingering strain that went around this year, quite unlike anything many had experienced before.

    What about "Liberalism"?
    It's a disease that will kill us quicker than Ghonnaherpesyhpllilaids.
    The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

    I'm so glad that someone just went there!
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    I thought it began in Africa. In the room that got torched.

    Lots of zombies up here. Need practice?

    Been in a couple of places I knew I would get the Hantavirus. One being an old mill site and the other a friend's vehicle.
