The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is spreading faster than medicene can handle it, Is this one of the plagues of the Apocalypse?

The first plague is sickness

Ebola outbreak: What you need to know - CNN.com

Whilst it is well meaning to transport infected persons for treatment, this is an emotive response, with a high risk the disease will escape containment in yet another country, and what has been said about this reeks of over confidence. This disease has no cure save death, and a very high mortality rate, it is not the flu and yet a lesser disease such as flu decimated populations a 100 years ago in a time when transport was slower. We have no immunity. The emergence of international air travel means disease can jump borders ond continents with comparative ease, but surely it is foolish not to completely isolate the nations afflicted with this outbreak.

We have to ask is the CDC and the relief agency Samitarians Purse being irresponsible by transporting its workers?

Is this one of the plagues of the Apocalypse?

wasn't the same question asked about HIV ?

Well it might have been, and it has proved to be a curse afflicting a large number of people, The scriptures are fairly explicit about the symptoms and about HIV too, and maybe ebola doesn't quite fit although there is a rash but the we do seem to have a wider range of serious infectious illnesses these days we seem to find great difficulty overcoming

Think back to bubonic plague, and even the diseases we now have vaccines for. Millions upon millions were dying around the world. No doubt they may have wondered the same thing.

Anyone remember the flic Outbreak

An experimental secret cure emerges for an outbreak of killer haemeraegic fever

Questions about this new Ebola drug - CNN.com

Well they have done it again, the disease for which there was no cure suddenly, unexpectedly has a cure. This is good news but wouldn't it have been simpler to have said from the beginning there is an experimental drug and good news we have some victims to experiment on.

Apoclypse averted once again.
