Monkey Meat and the Ebola Outbreak in Liberia

West Africa is being plagued by a new outbreak of Ebola — a terrifying disease that causes its victims to bleed to death from the inside out. Ebola has no cure, and the latest epidemic is spreading fast.

VICE News visited Liberia, where many feel the new outbreak began, borne from the bushmeat markets of Lofa. Western scientists feel that the consumption and preparation of meat from monkeys, fruit bats, and other forest animals is behind the transmission of Ebola, and possibly a new supervirus, which if left uncontrolled could kill a third of the world's population.

Instead of sending troops to get infected, they should send liberals.
Just have to offer them free wi-fi.
For life.

I want to laugh at this, but ONE of my really good friends is a liberal...

Ya just did it again; presented something - not as a question but - as a statement-of-fact.


You've been told, repeatedly, that the troops, in fact, are NOT being sent off "to get infected", yet you simply can't stop regurgitating it as a statement-of-fact.


It makes everything else you think - and type - suspect.

Just the idiot liberals.

I have friends who are liberals.

Who, but a complete moron would believe, American troops can't catch that Ebola?

Must mean they are immune, no?

I am not sure the troops can help. What are they going to do? Dig latrines to improve sanitation?

"...The troops to be dispatched to Africa will not be providing 'direct patient care,' White House spokesman Josh Earnest said, but instead provide logistical and engineering support to health care professionals...

...The goals of the Obama plan include the training of up to 500 health care workers a week and construction of up to 17 health care facilities of 100 beds each. Home health care kits will be distributed, and local populations will be trained on how to handle suddenly infected Ebola patients..."

Now, ya know.



ETA: Nowhere in the news story does it suggest the troops are going there to spank monkeys.

Who's going to be doing the engineering and construction of these 17 facilities? .....Sub contractors? That was just a wild guess there.

Perhaps they'll use some of the U.N. workers who are already there. Maybe even some of the missionaries, from countries all over the world, who are already there.


Gosh, there might even be one or two African natives who are smart enough / educated enough / healthy enough to hammer a nail or two.

possibly.

They should use NATO workers.
