Please don't bring any 4chan garbage over here.

Eh its just a shock scare to get you to buy into the media so they get $$$. Its probably not as bad as the media is portraying I have not even heard anything though until this thread so im unsure...

For now we are, but it depends on how it mutates in the future.

I'm not an expert on diseases, but I reeeeeally don't think we're in danger. Unless we're talking about the far, far future.

no vaccine?

No cure period. Once you've got it, it's all up to how healthy you are and how good your medical care is.

That said, it's nothing like the flu in terms of how communicable it is. Mostly it seems to be exchanging due to unsanitary conditions in Africa.

There are a couple Ebola vaccines, though, I do not think human testing has started yet, or it just started...

Good news for Africa I guess, priority for developing a cure will increase now that it can spread to people who can pay for it.

They were *debating* starting human testing during this epidemic.

Supposedly the man in question was exposed to up to 140 people before he was hospitalized.

Fortunately it's not communicable until symptoms manifest.

Ebola is serious, you guys. One of the nurses that was taking care of Duncan (US patient zero) tested positive for ebola. That nurse and several other dozen people taking care of him had hazmat suits on, and at least one nurse still got it. Many of the people at that hospital won't come in to work. If this spreads further it's going to become an even bigger deal. CDC is downplaying how much we should be worried, for obvious reasons. They don't want to cause a nationwide panic.

Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
