EBOLA IS BACK!!!

Post by Tenma »

Unfortunately, not many people are aware that Ebola just came back to Congo now...

If everyone can do Medicine Buddha, Ritro Loma Gyonma(like Tara Mandala did last time), or whatever practice you have available for this new outbreak of ebola, that would be great!

Thank you! :namaste:

Ebola never left, it was just contained for a while. Unfortunately there were then outbreaks in port towns and...

This from a doctor from Medecins Sans Frontieres that I was working with here in Lesbos who was called back to DRC (he is an Ebola specialist) and then returned after his mission to tell us the news.

That's a pity. Have there been any improvements or developments to treatment yet at least?

No cure. Just supportive treatment.

There is no cure so far.

A Norwegian doctor who specialized in treatment of ebola was infected with ebola herself a few years ago, in Sierra Leone. She was transported to a hospital in Norway, where she was given (at the time at least) the last dose in the world of the experimental drug Zmapp, and she made a full recovery. This however does not mean that Zmapp is a direct cure, because her recovery was due to multiple factors, such as being in an isolated ward in a section of the hospital which was fully prepared to handle such a case.

The step from this case to something like large-scale vaccinations is a huge step. We're not there yet.
