Amirite or amirite?[/QUOTE]
The monkey was the cure all along
Oh, and, Spoiler.
[QUOTE=Jet-fly;17140917]There is one thing that more than anything else scares me. One thing the scares me every time I think about it, every time I talk about it. And to give you an example of what that is, I would like to tell you the story of William Welch.
William Welch he is a man who in the medical world, nearly have mythological status. He’s called the father of the American medical science field. He’s a man known for his sky-high intelligence, his high moral character. And they said Welch was an example of a completely unshakeable calmness. William Welch was, the man that did not know of angst. That’s how it was, until August 23th 1918, because on that exact date, William Welch becomes as scared as a human can get. I will you the story and there’ll be a good group of you who’s gonna wonder why they haven’t heard about this before, I can only say that everything I write true, this has happened, the ones that experienced this catastrophe they just don’t want to remember it. It has been pushed into the part of history that has been left behind but it has happened and it all starts a cold winter morning, it all starts in USA in the state Kansas and it starts when there’s knocked on the door of the doctor of Loren Miner. Outside the door stands a young man, he’s sick and his sickness it spreads. In a matter of few days, many people in Kansas are sick. The sickness is not dangerous, it’s gone by the end of the week, no one dies and this local epidemic is completely gone in about 3 weeks. It would seem that everything turned back to normal. But that was not all correct.
That sickness, that first time shows its face in Kansas it retreats but it doesn’t disappear, no it hides away and grows even more evil, it mutates, it finds a new deadly form and six months later it returns, and this time it shows its real face, and when that happens, it hits as a nuke down in the modern medical world, and the one who’s hit with the largest force is exactly, William Welch.
The day it happened, August 23th 1918, begins like every other day. But early in the afternoon, William gets a call, and the message is, “There’s problems in Ford Denton, go find out what's going on”. And Ford Denton is a military camp, this is the time where USA is on their way into WW1, so Ford Denton is filled to the limit with young people and these people are getting sick, and this time it’s serious. They’re getting really sick. They’re dying. Hell is loose in Ford Denton.
William Welch, that late afternoon where he walks into the treatment room, he literally steps into Hell’s living room. Everything’s cast into chaos and panic. There’s sick people everywhere, corpses are spread everywhere as well. And the doctors quickly gets Welch into the surgery room, and the sight that meets him there is the sight he never forgets. The surgery room is a small room, and in every corner are there literally hills of blue-black corpses, with blood and goo oozing from the nose and the mouth, in the middle of the room is a surgery table with a corpse on it. By the table stands a horrified reserve doctor, she takes from the corpse, a pair of blood soaked, ruined lungs, so ruined even a doctor couldn’t tell the difference between that and a traffic accident. This is where Welch for the first time experiences what it means to get hit by all the bad feelings and emotions you can imagine. He’s so horrified he’s nailed to the place, he can’t speak or think rationally for minutes, and the first words that he speaks when he regains his senses that forever will be remembered in the history of medicine. “This is a new sickness, this is the new Black Death, and this is the beginning of the most horrifying catastrophe we can imagine.” These words are not forgotten but they’re not entirely true either. It wasn’t a new sickness, it wasn’t the new Black Death, but it was a catastrophe what so ever.
Because the sickness spreads from Ford Denton to rest of the world and in few weeks, every continent is included in this epidemic. Everywhere on earth, people are getting sick and it’s going, very, very fast. You could be healthy in the morning, dead later the same day. It starts with coughing, then cramps, then there comes a headache like no other, and are you amongst the unlucky, then this is where the blue-like colouring of the body begins. They say that are your feet blue, then there’s no way around it, death is imminent. But it’s a horrible death, they say you die as if you drowned in your own dissolved lungs. This creates chaos and panic. No one knows what’s going on, no one knows when it’s going to stop, but it takes three months, and within that time, around 100 million people dies. Never before have so many people died in so few months. This is more dead people than WW1, WW2, the Vietnam War and the Korea war added together. This was without a doubt, the largest catastrophe in history. No one that lived in the beginning of the last century will never forget the Spanish Flu. And that what it was. And that’s why I’m so scared every time, because the Spanish flu was no more than a very evil flu. A flu that had mutated and found that exact deadly form that could kill millions of people in three months. And they’re still out there and mutating and it’s only a matter of time before it’s going to happen again in a larger or smaller scale.
And yes that was a sister-virus to Ebola.[/QUOTE]
I've heard of the spanish flu, but never in real life actually, not even in school. i wish people would know more about these things (Except the part where it's out there mutating, that's just uncalled for, because it will only panic people :P)
I would just kill myself while I was still able to if I had this.
[QUOTE=Splurgy;17142764]Uh...it's really infectious[/QUOTE]
Well, by "not easy to catch", I mean, it's not waterborne and it's not airborne. If Ebola was one (or both) of those, we'd probably all be dead.
[QUOTE=Red Heavy;17140286] there is a sound that sounds like you're ripping a bedsheets in two. That's the sound of blood shootingg out of your ass.[/QUOTE]
At first i was scared to death, but then i saw this one line and instantly i bursted into laughter.
It made me cringe just reading about it. Holy shit.
Nasty shit.
[QUOTE=Corpsy;17143960]At first i was scared to death, but then i saw this one line and instantly i bursted into laughter.[/QUOTE]
I doubt you'd be laughing if you saw it happen
Ofcourse. But it i was reading the thread in the most serious tone, and i was getting creeped out. Saw that one line and i laughed.
[QUOTE=Red Heavy;17140286]As if entire-body-blood-clotting wasn't enough to do with your blood, massive hemorrhaging begins. Your intestines and skull fill with blood. You bleed out of every single orifice in your body. That's your nose (hemophiliac (nonstop) nosebleeds are common), ears, eyes, mouth, [b]anus, nipples, and penis/vagina[/b].[/QUOTE]
ffffffff
[QUOTE=Corpsy;17144121]Ofcourse. But it i was reading the thread in the most serious tone, and i was getting creeped out. Saw that one line and i laughed.[/QUOTE]
Same, except I didn't laugh when I read the line, and now I feel like shit.
People REALLY like to make threads about Ebola.
Lol. Cool, i can see someone making a sick weapon out of this.
By the way, isn't this like the 15th thread on ebola?
party on the 20th.
damn, that's rough, imagine if that shit were airborne. but i guess if it were, most of the world would be devoting way more resources to finding a vaccine and we'd eventually get one.
Is ebola non-existant in humans currently?
[QUOTE=nookupeous;17146000]Is ebola non-existant in humans currently?[/QUOTE]
Are you fucked
[QUOTE=nookupeous;17146000]Is ebola non-existant in humans currently?[/QUOTE]
Is your reading comprehension non-existant currently?
[QUOTE=Shock;17145979]damn, that's rough, imagine if that shit were airborne. but i guess if it were, most of the world would be devoting way more resources to finding a vaccine and we'd eventually get one.[/QUOTE]
If this shit became airborne and spread then we would all be fucked to put it simply.
[QUOTE]Is ebola non-existant in humans currently? [/QUOTE]
Have you been reading the same thing that the rest of us have?
There is Ebola-vaccine being tested.
Ebola is scary, but you should not worry about it. There are many other batshit-insane diseases like Marburg, Flesh-eating virus or plague.
I have noticed that worrying about things makes your life worse.
Seems to be an interesting read, reminds me fondly of the Ebola thread I made back in the day.
Congratulations.

Oh fucking A, i didn't see the movie yet even though it's pretty old :argh:
[QUOTE=NinjaPanda;17146814]Have you been reading the same thing that the rest of us have?[/QUOTE]
I think what he was trying to say was that there are few people [i]currently[/i] infected with it.

By the way, Darth Vader is Luke's father and Soylent Green is people.
I would kill myself.
That is the most metal thing I have ever heard...
