Some people value their pets more than their own life, and the life of others.

Also, you won't be thinking rationally if you believe that you have been infected with a deadly disease.

So, why was it a mistake?
Because people will try to save their pets life by setting them free in the cities, or getting someone to keep them safe.

There are now at least 56 people under observation, some of them already isolated.

If one of them is also found to be infected, the number will again increase as their own family and friends would be brought under close observation and, possibly, quarantined.


If the desease truly passes from human to animal and then back, it's really a scary one.


Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo.



People remain infectious as long as their blood and body fluids, including semen and breast milk, contain the virus. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.


In a portuguese magazine called "Maria" there was once a section that answered people's sexual doubts.

A girl once asked if she could have gotten pregnant by rubbing a pillow case with semen against her "Vageija"

Today the answer would be: " No, but you could catch ebola."





The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, symptoms of impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding (e.g. oozing from the gums, blood in the stools). Laboratory findings include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes.

As the Bentusi once said,

"The End time has begun."




Update: The CDC estimates that, by January, we could see from 550.000 to 1.4 billion people infected with the ebola virus disease.
