    And before Ebola it was Swine Flu. And before that, Bird Flu. Soon you'll see a new "breakthrough drug" that prevents the spread of Ebola, once everyone is good and scared. Our drug manufacturer saviors will make it available - and watch the money roll in.

    Actually, they have been working on a vaccine for ebola since before this recent outbreak. I'm not sure how close they are to distributing it though.

    I think I heard that they were testing it on volunteers over here (UK) but it would be 4 years until they know if it's safe. - Might be wrong about that though

    Don't know where you live but EV-D68 seems more of an immediate threat. *shrugs*

    Yeah, I'm MUCH more concerned with EnteroVirus.

    The chocolate hasn't been affected. The countries that produce the most cocoa (Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire) won't let people from infected countries past their borders.

    Those do not look like big friendly letters. And frankly, that flashing is making me panic even more.

    I think they found out that bird flu didn't freak us out enough...swine flu didn't freak us out enough...anthrax didn't scare us enough...and now it's Ebola. Next it'll be the black plague...now THAT *kitten* is scary!

    Nah, that shiz is like the clap - used to be terrifying, now it's fixed with a decent dose of antibiotics :wink:

    HAHAHA! Actually Leprosy is the same way.

    I do agree that it's fear mongering...there hasn't been a legit epidemic in the US of any of these kinds of diseases...and no pandemics since what-the Spanish Flu?
    But the Media broadcasts it to scare people and to keep people watching...just silly.
    Lots of people had Polio in the 1940s-1960s, Spanish Flu epidemic ended in 1920.

    Your point is.

    Do you think they will be squeezing all that Ebola blood and body fluids in the chocolate mixture. If that is your fear, stop eating chocolate and save yourself all this stress.
    The problem is the chocolate SHORTAGE! lol

    the whole worldwide government disease conspiracy argument seems alot less convincing when you realize almost every wealthy nation provides free health care
