Yay - more loveliness from the continent that brought you AIDS and Ebola

http://saharareporters.com/2015/04/1...m-it-not-ebola

Whatever it is, seems like it's spreading really fast so potentially very contagious...and it's not so far from Lagos, a major crowded hub. Hopefully they'll stop it but knowing how good of a job they did with the other diseases and the conditions there, not to mention their idiotic beliefs that it's 'spiritual punishment' - who knows where this will end up...

I'm more than willing to bet this is just another mutated zoophonic disease they've acquired by eating and/or fornicating with some wild animal...there's just nothing good coming out that side of the world..

We do not even know yet whether it is due to an infection or not. Infections, even bad ones, seldom kill so quickly.

Poisoning would be at the top of my list, with methanol coming to mind.
