"At a press briefing at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, said that as of yesterday, there are now 57 cases, including 30 confirmed, and there have been 41 deaths -- surpassing the 53 cases and 29 deaths in the prior outbreak."
Well it's not an epidemic or a pandemic like last time. "R0"or "r-naught" is the measure of how virulent an infection is. During the 2014 outbreak the R0 was 2.0, which means every infected person infect 2 others. Thisis geometric doubling and means every week twice as many dead.
THe r0 is so low here it's not funny. When the 2014 infection was declining the R0 was 0.2 and this is far lower than that. These aren't Americans with the disease, they'd have been airlifted to an American hospital by now if they were, and are almost certainly the "rebels" who the US wants to kill.
Somebody hasn't got the message. This is easy to fix. The US National Institute of Health knows how to fix it, I know because I told them by email and still have the messages from them. This was the second week of OCtober 2014, when the outbreak stopped, and the R0 shifted from 2.0 to 0.2 in one week.
Is there a Kinshasa newspaper?
The WHO not getting anywhere. For some reason it's run by industry not by people with no ulterior motives and all they do is whine they have never been able to make a vaccine for a filovirus ever and pretend they're doomed. The African way of looking a tit is "you need to eat fika nuts until you feel better." Ask the Baka. Actually it's the start of the rainy season now and this is when the Fika nut harvest is in. There's always an outbreak before it because poeple ran out, they harvest twice a year.
Their best hope is the chinese, who know Astragalus tea cures it, as they're all sources of the Selenium that inhibits that very diesr disulphide bond from forming when the glycoprotein soine makes initial contact with the host cells cellular membrane.
This is the source of the not so mysterious innate immunity in parts of Africa. These papers from Taylor's hypothesis in 1995 that the UG codons in the viral DNA encode for selenium to sequester it, when you run out the virus runs rampant as youhave no defense. In 2015 Lipinski showed how Selenium inhibits not just ebola but all viral infections thus valdicatring Indian, Chinese and Canadian Orthomolecular medicine that all claim selenium has a profound effect on viral disease. Ir does, in the right does it inhibits all viru(enveloped) viruses. Too much and it's toxic (so is water) too little and not only are you susceptible to virus but viruses behave differently with when selenium is very low, - they mutate. With zero selenium they die, but it's used in the human body a lot and none doesn't work count, t's vital to the immune system and you'd die of nearly any minor infection without some, the same as AIDS. Keep in mind the HIV virus also takes all your selenium, it just takes ten years, Ebola does it in a day.
Here's trhe pile of references the Congolese people need to read and understand. There' sno rwaosn anyubody eber needs to suffer from an Ebola infection any more than anybody today shold suffer scurvy, viral infretins are cimply adeficiecy dosoeder.
