Its a bit suspect... for anyone who has seen Utopia on Channel 4 will know that EBOLA has been manufactured by man. Its got a 90% mortality rate and spreads easily. There is no cure, no vaccine and it is fatal.

A little prayer for marques and everyone else who lives that part of London where all the fob nigerians reside
I don't think its funny.. I will make duas for you in UK. If anyone contracted the disease before leaving those risk zones, they are a hazard to the rest of the world.
Interesting topic though. I wonder if they would consider a culling of everyone in infected zones. The fatality rate is ~90%, so they would be killing possible survivors as well. Scary idea, but do you think it would eliminate it?
Piot co-discovered the Ebola virus as a 27-year-old researcher in 1976.He is now director of the prestigious London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and was previously executive director of the United Nations' HIV/AIDS programme UNAIDS.
Piot helped identify Ebola when the laboratory where he was working in Antwerp was sent a blood sample from a Catholic nun who had died in what was then Zaire and is now DR Congo.From the blood, they isolated a new virus which was later confirmed to be Ebola.He later went to Yambuku, a village in Zaire's Equateur province, where an epidemic had taken hold."People were devastated because in some villages, one in 10, one in eight people could die from Ebola," he said."I was scared but I was 27 so you think you are invincible."Researchers noticed most of the infections were among women aged between 20 and 30 and clustered around a clinic where they went for pre-natal consultations.It turned out that the virus was being transmitted through a handful of needles which were being reused to give injections to pregnant women.
