Are the wrong questions being asked?

"One thing that has struck Rosling during his short time in Liberia is the global desire to help the region.

Sitting in meetings, he says, "I have a US general on one side, a Chinese general on the other side and on the opposite side of the table sits a health professional from Cuba. We all work very nicely together."

& is the rest of the world at that table?

Well China does have considerable economic intrest if Africa. So of cousre they would want to be seen as doing thier part in helping out. That will pay off down the line.

Cuba, That is a suprise. Where is the rest of the world?

Ebola outbreak: Liberia president lifts state of emergency

Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has lifted the state of emergency imposed to control an Ebola outbreak that has ravaged the country.

She said the move did not mean "the fight is over", although numbers of new infections were no longer increasing.

The confirmed death toll from the virus is now 5,160 people, almost all of them from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Meanwhile, clinical trials to find an effective treatment for Ebola are due to start in West Africa next month.

Yep, He tested Negative at One Time, as A Certain VOCAL Nurse had Tested Negative.

Dr. Felix Baez Sarria is being treated by British doctors in Africa but he will be transferred to a special unit in Geneva at the recommendation of the World Health Organization, Cuban state media said, citing the island's Ministry of Public Health.

Plague in Madagascar has killed 40 people out of 119 cases -WHO

(Reuters) - An outbreak of the plague has killed 40 people out of 119 confirmed cases in Madagascar since late August and there is a risk of the disease spreading rapidly in the capital, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.

So far two cases and one death have been recorded in the capital Antananarivo but those figures could climb quickly due to "the city's high population density and the weakness of the healthcare system", the WHO warned.

"The situation is further complicated by the high level of resistance to deltamethrin (an insecticide used to control fleas) that has been observed in the country," it added.

Plague, a bacterial disease, is mainly spread from one rodent to another by fleas. Humans bitten by an infected flea usually develop a bubonic form of plague, which swells the lymph node and can be treated with antibiotics, the WHO said.

If the bacteria reach the lungs, the patient develops pneumonia (pneumonic plague), which is transmissible from person to person through infected droplets spread by coughing. It is "one of the most deadly infectious diseases" and can kill people within 24 hours. Two percent of the cases reported in Madagascar so far have been pneumonic, it added.

One day in the not so distant future diseases like the Plague will become resistant to antibiotics .

When will man learn that poverty breads disease and will be as big a threat as it once was before sewage treatment and clean water and antibiotics

Not only that but giving antibiotics to farm animals so they can gain more weoght and live to be slaughterd is a bane. Also idiot Doctors who hand out antiotics to idiots who have a virus but cry loud enough to get them.
And dont forget the dolts who when giving a ten day script for an antibiotic stop taking them after 5 days because they feel better.

And unless you are a surgeon getting ready to operate on someone you dont need anti bacterial hand soap. Regular soap works.

And then folks wonder why antibiotics are getting less effective.

Some bacteria in soil have already gained resistance to a few antibiotics.

All thought these are a problem i have only herd of the Plague in poor areas and poor country's antibiotic's are causing different bugs to be resistant and there less dangerous but the Plague , well how many died in the last great outbreak before antibiotics , ten's of millions !

and would Ebola be as big a problem if there was not so much poverty in the country's where it is ?.

Well, Glenn,

Plague (caused by Yersinia pestis) isn't just a problem in poor nations. A friend of mine I went to High School with back in the 1970's died of it in the early 1980's. He caught it on vacation to West Texas, but didn't get sick until he had returned home. Yersinia pestis is endemic in fleas on rodents in this part of the world.

Thankfully, the strains of Yersinia pestis that usually circulate in the wild around here are not all that dangerous, or there would be a lot more cases of it. As it is, the USA still gets 10 to 15 cases a year.

Some hope?

Ebola crisis now 'stable' in Guinea, WHO says

The Ebola outbreak is now "stable" in Guinea, where the latest crisis began, the World Health Organization says.

There were still some flare ups in the south-east, but things were improving in other prefectures, WHO co-ordinator Dr Guenael Rodier told the BBC.

More than 5,400 people have died in the latest outbreak, with Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia the worst hit.

The outbreak can be ended by mid-2015 if the world speeds up its response, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said.

Very much endemic here in California. Nearly every year they catch rodents testing positive and have to engage in flea control on wild animals.
