Blaqsmith: according to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary(8th Edition),Cremate means to burn a dead body,ESPECIALLY AS PART OF FUNERAL CEREMONY.so guy, I will leave u to try and understand me.though,to cremate d dead body is to burn it,but I want u to tink abt dose capitalised words.many people are being burnt,but no cremated...and pls,nxt time,try not to insult someone u knw nt a pinch about....God bless u.

Oh my days! You are taking funeral ceremony for owambe party, it's a funeral right which is prayer and last respect before cremating.

Cremating is also burning but carried out legally.

bushdoc9919:

1. Viral diseases like HIV and Ebolahave always existed in Africa for centuries.

2.Why they appear to be moving around all over the place is due to the fact that when the colonialist came, they brought modern forms of transport...which meant that previously infected people who would have died in their remote villages,now die far away from home....and have infected as many people as possible.

3. Viral diseases work by integrating their DNA with the host cell's DNA.....which allows them to basically use the cell to produce more viruses....which then wreck havoc on a massive tissue/organ scale. (Unlike bacteria which do not invade your cells). That is why they are so deadly. And that is how most viral diseases work....including the common cold ,and even hepatitis. You have probabaly been infected by one virus or another....the reason why you have not gone to the Great Beyond is because most viral diseases are self limiting.

4.Ebola virus originally was a virus that was prevalent in primates and fruit bats. Then it got into humans who ate infected animals.Even then,the first cases of human infection were probably mild.As the virus spread....microevolutionary changes led to the virus becoming more deadly. But it was still limited to a few isolated areas until the 20th century came along....with 20TH century transport.

5.Why is Ebola killing many people . Two reasons

a) African countries have a poor record in preventive health. If I enter a developed country with a contagious disease....I and all my contacts would be in quarantine within hours. Most African countries do not have effective quarantine methods. Then there is our underresourced and insufficent health system. And most hospitals do not have adequate quarantine facilities. And the environment is dirty. And there is no efficent disease reporting structure. You get the picture.

b) Most viral diseases have no cure. (Note that there are thousands of viruses on record). However, we are lucky....in the sense that most viral diseases are selflimiting. And even the bad ones like Polio have variable effects.( Polio may either paralyze you, or just give you a mild fever for a few days.). And then there is the human response. As an example...because of a defect in the CD4 cells of some HIV positive patients....they will never come down with AIDS....because the HIV cannot enter their CD4 cells...and thus the immune system can keep it at bay. Back to Ebola. 90% of Ebola patients die....but 10% survive...because their immune system mounts a different type of response to the Ebola virus than the 90%...an immune response that effectively clears the virus (over weeks mind)....and is the subject of current research into a vaccine that will protect against Ebola.

So, Ebola is not a plot by America against Africa(Nor is HIV). They have always been there with us....but have spread in the last few decades because of modern transport which has made the spread of viruses easier. Like our Liberian friend....if he had come down with Ebola 400 years ago....he would have died in his isolated village....and would have not spread the virus. Instead oflooking for plots....why don't we put pressure on our govt to increase funding for health....especially for preventive health.....and keep our environments clean....and not indulge in risky behaviour.?
I doff my capito for you.

Let's just hope he didn't infect others that boarded the plane with him...they should all be tested! God will see us through !

And you can imagine that the man was supposed to attend one world summit that was holding in Calabar. As a matter of fact, report says those travelled with him in the plane still made it to Calabar. So if he wasnt seriously confronted by the virus in Lagos, he would've come to Calabar succesfully and started spreading the virus from here. God forbid!!!

"We didn't want to name it after the village, Yambuku, because it's so stigmatising. You don't want to be associated with that," says Piot.

The team decided to name the virus after a river. They had a map of Zaire, although not a very detailed one, and the closest river they could see was the Ebola River. From that point on, the virus that arrived in a flask in Antwerp all those months earlier would be known as the Ebola virus."

smartg: Scientists have finally done it again. In their quest on how to reduce the world population, they invents all kinds of diseases. They invented HIV, but were not happy when they saw that Hiv does not kill faster as expected; that is, an HIV patient can survive for more than 20yrs. They went on to invent SARS, but sars was more deadly than Hiv, it kills faster, but could not spread wider because the victims does not last long before they die. Now they have come up with their latest invention 'EBOLA VIRUS' which means the combination of SARS and HIV. The virus last longer and kills faster and spread wider even after the death of the victims. What a deadly disease, it can be transmitted through a physical contact even a hand shake or by touching the walls of building.

Really?? that means they also "invented" the Spanish flu of 1916 (over 30,million deaths), the 14th century bubonic plague (one-third of European population annihilated), small pox (decimated whole native American villages), etc....
