Indica. Are we talking George Romero/The Walking Dead zombies or James Bond 'Live and Let Die' voodoo zombies.
I reckon the freaks from "In the night garden" are scarier than any Zombie.
Bermy, still waiting for your contribution to this thread: http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?282607-A-day-in-your-life
Hopefully not those bloody World War Z turbo zombies. Then we'll be screwed.
Nothing to worry about, Spermie's got you covered.
I refuse to acknowledge the existence of that turd of a movie.
I just finished re reading the Stand. I blame Richard Flagg
Nah, I got your intention.
Seriously, though, if you think about any highly contagious disease getting out in a third world country with poor hygiene practices and medical facilities, the potential for disaster is staggering.
1. It's a 60% chance of death not 90% - not true, depends on the strain. The current outbreak is caused by the Zaire strain. This is the most virulent strain, with a death rate of up to 90% though the exhibited mortality thus far is 60%
2. The two doctors were trying to follow all the safety protocols to the best of their ability. Proper protocol when dealing with highly contagious viruses like Ebola are the use of positive pressure suits with independent air systems in a negatively pressured laboratory that have quarantine locks, decontamination showers etc. - Again not true. Ebola is not highly contagious. It is not like the flu or common cold. It is not airborne, it is not waterborne, it is not transmitted by mosquitoes, rats or other common animals. You need to come in direct contact with the bodily fluids of a symtomatic person (vomit, blood, diarohhea etc). So unless you are a health worker specifically treating victims in West Africa, the chance of getting it is sweet FA.
They were operating in third world countries where they can't even source clean drinking water. Never mind space-age multi-million dollar containment facilities.
3. The two infected Americans are also two people who have had the most experience with the disease so it would be pretty stupid to let all that recently gained knowledge go to waste.
It's not airborne. They aren't landing them in f*****g Times Square and 'Outbreak', The 'Last Ship' and 'The Stand' are not documentaries (I'm not sure the Last Ship can even be considered entertainment)
