Reality is not a fucking conspiracy
Rapper Chris Brown tweeted this week that Ebola is a form of population control. The Idiocracy went bat shit. It never occurred to any of them that Ebola is in fact nature's ultimate form of population control. Consider it just one of the many gifts from globalization and the commensurate shrinking of this "hot, flat, and crowded" planet to accommodate 7 billion people. Now the galaxy's largest petri dish.
The related news was that the mortality rate for Ebola is 70% versus the previously believed 50%. Again, there was a dunced response from the lamestream. People seem to think that 70% is worse than 50% whereas it's the other way around. Earlier strains of Ebola had 90% kill rates. These more virulent strains never became a pandemic because the virus killed people so quickly and efficiently that it never had a chance to spread. Now the virus has mutated, delayed onset of symptoms and lower mortality means that the virus now has time to be spread globally or even worse "carried" by someone immune to its worst effects.
Then there was the news of the second nurse in Texas who contracted the disease due to a "breach in protocol". Let me get this straight, they spent a thousand dollars per hour fighting this disease in one patient and still two nurses were infected. That's not a fucking breach of protocol that's a disaster. No one goes to work saying "I'm going to see if I can get Ebola today". How are these hospitals going to fight a disease that costs a thousand dollars per hour to "treat" but where 70% of the patients die anyway? Who picks up the tab for that? And what sane person would ever go to a hospital that is accepting Ebola patients? I see a certain economic dilemma. And therefore, what chance do African nations have of fighting this disease? Zero. Healthcare workers in Liberia threatened a strike to protest the extreme hazards. Stay tuned for future events. Eventually they will just have to quarantine the victims. No sane healthcare worker should want anything to do with this disease.
And don't even think about the use of this virus in biological warfare, just assume that every terrorist organization in the world is working on obtaining the cheapest and most powerful weapon ever created.
Population control. Indeed.
