@Quehoniaomath,
The police state is already here. Whats with the Ebola.
The first recorded outbreak of EVD occurred in Southern Sudan in June 1976. A second outbreak soon followed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire).[114] Virus isolated from both outbreaks was named "Ebola virus" after the Ebola River, located near the Zaire outbreak.[115] Reports conflict about who initially coined the name: either Karl Johnson of the American CDC team[116] or Belgian researchers.[117] Although it was assumed that the two outbreaks were connected, scientists later realized that they were caused by distinct species of filoviruses, Sudan virus and Ebola virus.[114]
In late 1989, Hazelton Research Products' Reston Quarantine Unit in Reston, Virginia, suffered a mysterious outbreak of fatal illness (initially diagnosed as Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV)) among a shipment of crab-eating macaque monkeys imported from the Philippines. Hazelton's veterinary pathologist sent tissue samples from dead animals to the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland, where a laboratory test known as an ELISA assay showed antibodies to Ebola virus.[118] An electron microscopist from USAMRIID discovered filoviruses similar in appearance to Ebola in the tissue samples sent from Hazelton Research Products' Reston Quarantine Unit.[119]
Shortly afterward, a US Army team headquartered at USAMRIID went into action to euthanize the monkeys which had not yet died, bringing those monkeys and those which had already died of the disease to Ft. Detrick for study by the Army's veterinary pathologists and virologists, and eventual disposal under safe conditions.[118]
Blood samples were taken from 178 animal handlers during the incident.[120] Of those, six animal handlers eventually seroconverted, including one who had cut himself with a bloody scalpel.[48][121] When the handlers did not become ill, the CDC concluded that the virus had a very low pathogenicity to humans.[121]
The Philippines and the United States had no previous cases of Ebola infection, and upon further isolation, researchers concluded it was another strain of Ebola, or a new filovirus of Asian origin, which they named Reston ebolavirus (RESTV) after the location of the incident.[118]
So you blame Jimmy Carter or Gerald Ford - or was it Nixon!!!!!
