If What This Health Expert Just Said About Ebola Is True, We May Be Verging On Catastrophe

“It’s the single greatest concern I’ve ever had…”

Western Journalism


 

A professor with more than 40 years of public health experience warns that the Ebola virus, currently only contractible through direct contact with bodily fluids, could soon be transmissible through the air.

Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told CNN that, “It’s the single greatest concern I’ve ever had in my 40-year public health career.”


In an editorial for The New York Times, Osterholm warns that the Ebola virus could mutate and become an airborne disease.

“Viruses like Ebola are notoriously sloppy in replicating, meaning the virus entering one person may be genetically different from the virus entering the next.  The current Ebola virus’s hyper-evolution is unprecedented; there has been more human-to-human transmission in the past four months than most likely occurred in the last 500 to 1000 years.”

He continues, “If certain mutations occurred, it would mean that just breathing would put one at risk of contracting Ebola.  Infections could spread quickly to every part of the globe, as the H1N1 influenza virus did in 2009, after its birth in Mexico.”

The University of Minnesota professor tells CNN, “I can’t imagine anything in my career – and this includes HIV – that would be more devastating to the world than a respiratory transmissible Ebola virus.”

Osterholm also cautions people about the possibility of Ebola spreading from West Africa to other regions of the developing world.

      I think it already has mutated and is being under reported.

      Many people suspect that there is already a cure being held back, the elite have been vaccinated, and that an airborne version (engineered to be deadlier, with less symptoms for easy and early detection) will arrive soon.

      If so, plague and depopulation fit this timeline with the end in late 2019

      I think the world was ripe for another outbreak… example, the plague… the spanish flu… I am not a real huge believer in “elite”…. just old fashioned poor living conditions, lack of education and overpopulation…. outdated rituals and practices and boom… you have yourself and old fashioned pandemic.
