Sociotard Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Dolphins get high on pufferfish toxin. Intentionally. They'd nibble on the dead fish for a bit and then pass it on to the next dolphin, and act totally stoned for a little while. death tribble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 70% mortality rate. So ... what is to stop Boko Haram from injecting someone with the virus a few minues before putting them on a plane to, say, New York, or Paris, or Sao Paolo, or Manila?

Sociotard Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 1) Boko Haram is more into money, like human trafficking or drugs. They wouldn't bother with anything this expensive (airfare, bribes) with no clear means of making money. 2) The United States wouldn't fare as badly with a couple of people showing up in airports with the disease. Our infrastructure is way better for finding the disease and isolating the victims. Maybe not as good as Canada but plenty enough better than Sierra Leone.

Otherwise, nothing really. But I doubt it would spread as quickly here. It's much easier to get the word out and if a case of real Ebola showed up I bet the civilian population would be unusually needful of any government quarantine or curfew.

Also, there's the little detail that you would have to somehow get the virus, and then inject somebody without infecting yourself or your friends: not a risk most people would want to take. A jihadi might be willing to accept glorious death blowing themselves up in the middle of a crowd of enemies: dying slowly by internally dissolving while knowing that your friends and family were going to go the same way, not so much. Biological warfare is a bit like juggling chainsaws while they are running: it's a cool trick if you can pull it off, but the risk of a messy accident is always high. cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that first world nations have a lot better basic support systems, but iirc there are relatively few total isolation beds available in any country.
