Powerful is a rather inexact word. There are virus' more lethal than Ebola. For example, the Rabies virus kills 99.99% (or thereabouts) of the people who don't get vaccinated. Compare that to about 70% of the people who were infected with Ebola in the most recent outbreak. 30-55 thousand people die of Rabies every year world-wide. About 10 thousand people have died in West Africa from Ebola during the recent outbreak.If powerful means death toll, there's HIV (AIDS) which killed 1.5 million people in 2013 (WHO | HIV/AIDS). The flu kills a lot of people - 250-500 thousand people each year. (Influenza (Seasonal))If powerful means terrifying, well, then Ebola, combined with all the media fear mongering takes first prize. But by measures of lethality or death toll, it's serious, but not as serious as other diseases.[EDIT] I should add that the speed with which Ebola kills people actually makes it less powerful in an important way. Diseases that kill that quickly don't have a lot of time to infect others (they "burn out"). Contrast that with HIV/AIDS, which can remain contagious for many years before the host even knows they're sick. That makes it much scarier and powerful in an important sense.
It did not just evolve now.The 1918 influenza also demonstrated acute fulminant lung disease that within hours filled the lungs with hemorrhagic fluids. If the patients were not intubated very quickly, they were at high risk of dying. The case fatality rate for the pandemic 1918 A/H1N1 was globally around 2.5 percent, with healthy young adults 18–28 having the highest incidence and fatality rates. (‘Normal’ seasonal influenza has a case fatality rate between 0.1 and 0.2 percent).These unusual and severe symptoms were only indirectly due to the viral agent. They were in large part due to the cascade of cytokines as a result of exposure to a completely new avian influenza antigen. We have been seeing similar pathology since 1997 in the cases of A/H5N1 and since 2013 in the cases of A/H7N9 influenza. Both were/are forms of avian influenza that were visited upon humans for the first time. Note that the case fatality rates thus far for these two influenza strains are 50% and 33% respectively. While 1918 had the highest number of deaths of any disease known before or after that date, these H5 and H7 influenzas - if they were to ever spread in humans with sustained ‘pandemic’ spread, are 20 times and 10 times more severe than the 1918 influenza!

Why the heck are they bringing Ebola to the US?
Why are you who say it is not easily spread not understanding that it is a deadly disease as you all stated can you not have compassion on those who live in Atlanta Georgia and not mistreat them with the name calling. You guys are so insulting to those who are worried. I appeal to you what if it was you being upset and they were insulting to you because you were showing your feelings. Stop being so conceited and unfeeling you know better and know how to act but because you are on this answer board you think it is open season on those who are very concerned. You have no right to call them morons or any other adjective you used to describe how they feel about it. I wish just once people would have some empathy for them and realize that Obama has made a lot of stupid mistakes at the cost of the American people so you need to show you understand instead of jumping down their throats and stop acting so superior it is like you are saying come on now lets get all of them over here we are not afraid. God bless you (((Mortal))) you are right to be concerned.
What Virus (Microorganism) Do You Think is the most Deadly?
Ebola is the most deadliest of all viruses in the whole world.To understand more into Level 4 viruses like, Marburg virus, HantaVirus, and Ebola Reston and Ebola Ziare. Ebola Ziare is the most deadliest of all 90% - 98%. Ebola Reston is not dangerous to humans, but deadly to monkeys and it spreads like the Flu. Marburg and Hanta Viruses are deadly to everyone monkeys and humans, Fatality rate for Marburg is 40 to 50 precent and Hantavirus is only to 60 to 80 precent of Death. Officaly Rabies is not a Level 4 rated Virus, it is rated as a Biolevel 3. To learn more about Level 4 Viruses read the book called the "Hot Zone" By Richard Preston and also if you have the time Read the book "Demon in the Freezer" By Richard Preston. Both books will give you alot of information about these diseases.
Is the swine flu man made??????
Have you ever heard of the Illuminati? The aim of this group of trillionaires is to kill off 90% of all humanity. They are doing this to lower the world population down to the point where there are just enough people (slaves) left to support them and be much easier to control. Some of the organizations of the Illuminati are the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Skull and Bones Society, Freemasonry, the Bohemians, the Black Nobility, the Vatican, the Club of Rome, the Roundtable, the Majestic Twelve, the Committee of 300 (controls finance, insurance, drug trade, politics, industry, religion); Philosophers of Fire, the Group of Eight (G-8), Rhodes Scholar program, Black Lodge, Aspen Institute, Knights of Malta, World Federalists, The Circle of Initiates, Nine Unknown Men, Lucis Trust, Tavistock Institute, British Quator Coronati, Mumma Group, Nasi Princes, Milner Group-Round Table, World Economic Forum, Opus Dei, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Rosicrucians, Knights of the Garter, the Priory of Zion" (who believe they are of the bloodline of Jesus), Prince Charles and the Black Nobility of Europe, the Thule Society-based on a fifth dimension, Theosophical Society, the Witches League for Public Awareness, the Guardians, Key Fraternity, Brotherhood of the Snake, and several others not listed here because of space limitations. You are quite right about them tricking us. I stopped getting vaccinations a long time ago. Swine flu, Aids, Ebola, Bird Flu, Hunta Virus, are all man made diseases that are supposed to contribute, in a big way, to the destruction of humanity.
What will you do if a horrible deadly pandemic sweeps the world soon?
If the inhabitants become extremely decreased, the human race survivors will be centred on this stuff first: a million. collect Up The Survivors 2. Create guard 3. Get a food source and water 4. commence to rebuild life -I recommend by potential of that...the human beings that survived the epidemic will be left tormented. they may well be ravaged. music does no longer even go their options. If music did go their options, they might maximum likely hearken to satisfied music like the sea coast boys, or some thing. they may well be centred on retaining the human races custom to keep tips about life until eventually now the epidemic. music does no longer be taken into deep interest until eventually lengthy after the ordeal and after life become rebuilt plenty 5. What went incorrect. be it nuclear conflict or a ailment the survivors favor to figure out a answer to the precedence in case it flora up again 999. music. human beings would then rediscover music, and a good number of alternative custom. Who knows of what they might like after what theyve been by potential of? purely element i'm able to imagine of is that EMO music will be lengthy gone alongside with crappy pop. human beings would fee life extra in the experience that they discovered about a mass apocalyptic experience of their history instructions if it quite is sensible so that they might hearken to extra useful music, no longer hollow meaningless Radio music.
Is illegal immigration to blame for the swine flu?
whoever stole the biological materials from Fort Detrick is responsible. Washington Post - February 2009 Army Suspends Germ Research at Md. Lab Specifically "at the biodefense laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md., which the F.B.I. has linked to the anthrax attacks of 2001, after discovering that some pathogens stored there were not listed in a laboratory database," reports the New York Times. "The suspension, which began Friday and could last three months, is intended to allow a complete inventory of hazardous bacteria, viruses and toxins stored in refrigerators, freezers and cabinets in the facility, the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases." PROPUBLICA -n February 2009 U.S. Army has suspended research with deadly agents and toxins at the military's top germ warfare lab, which came under intense scrutiny after the FBI identified it as the source of the anthrax used in the 2001 "Amerithrax" attacks that killed five, injured 17 and kept the nation on knife-edge for weeks. The suspension, announced internally last week at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), was attributed to concerns about whether the facility had an accurate inventory of all the deadly "select agents [1]" in its freezers and refrigerators. Select agents are the most dangerous and tightly regulated biological substances used in research, including anthrax, Yersinia pestis (plague) and the Ebola and Marburg viruses.
Why are so many people completely dismissive of the swine flu?
There is no way to know whether this is going to turn bad like the 1918 pandemic, or if it's going to fade away like the bird flu did a few years back. It could go either way at this point. But even with common illnesses - for example, if it was strep throat going around like crazy, we would definitely be worried and washing our hands and avoiding sick people. So if this even has the POTENTIAL of becoming a true pandemic, then of course we should heed all warnings very seriously! Why are people dismissive about it? Probably because denial is so much easier than worry and stress. Also, alot of people have that "nothing can hurt me" attitude.
