Ebola was only down to one village a while ago. But the natives were scared of the white men with witchcraft.
Is there a vaccine so far?
New Ebola shot like flu shot?

Of course they will be available soon, a vaccine has existed for a while now.

Don't you know its the shots that they will use to actually thin the heard.
watch out for them evil vaccines or you might get seven different birth defects as an adult

yea... def don't jump out to be willing lab rats for big pharma..
I'd only get one after I see there are no major issues with it lol


That would take years to determine :eek:

And we'd all be dead by ebola by then is what you're saying..

Well by 2015 supposedly there will be a vaccine.

They have a vaccine from 2006 or so it works on monkeys anyway.

None of ya'll played  plague inc..   ??   I always start in south africa.. LOL /WIN..
I forgot that game existed... Downloading now....

It's actually quite CPU intensive..  heats up CPU real good..

I learned something new about pop in APES...
Child pop has stopped st 2 bil.
Most households world wide now are only having 2 children vs 6+.
Peak pop by 2100 will be 11bil.... Hmm. Lots of people.
Africa will have 4bil and Asia also according to statisticians.

But 11 billion people is a lot of people to be on this earth. For people to live like we do here in the U.S. we would require over 5 earths to live sustainably.
Unless we can come up with super fuel that's clean, so I think we're screwed for now.
Or they can just build higher up into the sky and pretty all building will have over 100 floors. Even then the streets would be super crowded. Genetic engineering would give us wings and such. Then we would be able to chemo synthesis and photosynthesis and survive off of the sun.
We can move to floating cities and live in the ocean too! And genetically modify crops to be able to have a corn field off of Florida... Holy ****... Imagine crop fields right off of the coast here... All the potatoes for us.
I should be a environmentalist person thing....

well, not everyone wastes resources like you do.

also, the whole current earth population can fit comfortably in texas.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I went on myfootprint and it said I would use about 3 earths.
I understand that the population can fit. I can see that kind of.
But what I don't see is how they're going to get food and live sustainably while doing so. Also, it's not just us who use electric and such.

Out of my text book:Desperate for short-term survival, some of these
individuals degrade potentially renewable forests, soils,
grasslands, fisheries, and wildlife at an ever-increasing
rate. They do not have the luxury of worrying about
long-term environmental quality or sustainability.

okay...you're clearly quite young and haven't explored outside of NA culture very much.

if ypu're actually interested in this topic, take the time to learn how other cultures handle their housing (i know specifically about hong kong and tokyo).

you'll realize that north americans expect to have about 5x-8x the amount of living space.  not to mention how much NAers spend on their cars (more cars, bigger cars means more and bigger garages)

textooks really aren't a good way to learn about this (solutions to the common problem of the environment).

reading people's travel blogs/vlogs is far more revealing and accurate (thank god for interwebs).  although, NOTHING will beat actually living in other cultures, even for just a few months.

Personally I think you should need to take a test or something to be allowed to have children. The fact that dumb people have more children than smart people is becoming a problem.

It's pretty easy to have enough living space when your population density is only 21.5 people/km2 and your country has less inhabitants than the state of Ohio.
In the end.. the keyboard's most grand form of existence is as an ethereal bridge between man and machine..    Each depression of the keys, evanescent.. Our transitory thoughts crashing into the web, carving canyons through the internet wasteland such that life may once again flourish..

OK... there's some very biggg misunderstandings here..

Educated people choooose to have less children...  it's not that they're prevented from doing so.. there's no barrier outside of themselves..

Less Educated people don't plan ahead enough to know that more children is actually disadvantageous to personal welfare..


So even if you made people take a test.. it wouldn't help motivate educated people to have more kids.


If you made less-educated people take a test... then the population (already below replacement rate) will fall even further..

to which point, no one will be able to afford basic services because of labor constraints....   you think those minimum wage jobs are cheap ? they're actually extremely expensive by world standards..

the state of ohio doesn't have its capital at the 59th parallel north though.

to which point, no one will be able to afford basic services because of labor constraints....   you think those minimum wage jobs are cheap ? they're actually extremely expensive by world standards..
I know that it wouldn't work IRL but something should be done to make bad parents have less children.

I was bullied in middle school and most of the bullies had divorced parents who either did not care about what their children did to other children in school or they treated their children as if they were perfect.

I think that the best way to fight overpopulation is to make protection easily available and socially acceptable. That's one of the big problems in many third world countries, people have a lot of children because they don't know much about safe sex and protection isn't easy/cheap to get. Even in the US people are trying to get schools to not teach their students about safe sex.

Here's a video about some more future problems.
In the end.. the keyboard's most grand form of existence is as an ethereal bridge between man and machine..    Each depression of the keys, evanescent.. Our transitory thoughts crashing into the web, carving canyons through the internet wasteland such that life may once again flourish..

Personally I think you should need to take a test or something to be allowed to have children. The fact that dumb people have more children than smart people is becoming a problem.

for a lesson on how to use the environment properly and have enough living space, spend some time in Sweden.
It's pretty easy to have enough living space when your population density is only 21.5 people/km2 and your country has less inhabitants than the state of Ohio.


OK... there's some very biggg misunderstandings here..

Educated people choooose to have less children...  it's not that they're prevented from doing so.. there's no barrier outside of themselves..

Less Educated people don't plan ahead enough to know that more children is actually disadvantageous to personal welfare..


So even if you made people take a test.. it wouldn't help motivate educated people to have more kids.


If you made less-educated people take a test... then the population (already below replacement rate) will fall even further..
