Ebola

English: Biosafety level 4 hazmat suit: researcher is working with the Ebola virus (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

It’s never about others. But then again the situation will determine whether it is about you. Never assume things are always about you. Not really.

I am not justifying anything or anyone for that matter. All I am saying is that you should be smart enough to realize what works and what doesn’t. I never said you are foolish. You are afraid to think. Try it sometime, it is good.

Now, Ebola is trending. What I don’t get is how people can be so afraid of Ebola when even falling stars can kill you. Heck, your neighbor can decide otherwise and finish you. Oh, you trust him! OK. Do not listen to me. You’ll die from theories!!!

I mean, what are the odds of dying of Ebola? Especially if you are not in Africa? What are you afraid of? And by the way, Africa is not one country! Jesus!!! This ignorance appalls me!

It’s like saying Europe has only one country. Are you kidding me? Even if geography and history were never your strong suit, you should at least know. If not, please do some research before you attempt to open your mouth. It’s just sad watching you make a fool of yourself.

I have seen stars come to perform. In balloons! You know the way stars mingle with the fans by throwing themselves among the crowd. These people are doing so while in a balloon, in Kenya!!! My country is in Eastern Africa, where there is no Ebola!!!

Seriously?

If I’m so relaxed in Africa, believe me, Ebola won’t finish you. This is not, it’s killing hub. It is very far from me. And I’m sure you can even go to the Ebola ridden countries and not contract the disease. It is a big deal, because it is spread faster than you can say Ebola, but if people could do an ALS ice bucket challenge, Ebola should just be compared to ALS. People don’t really die so much from Ebola. It’s outrageous to think that people die like flies, where the disease is rampant. I mean, people die of malaria here. Like really die!!! It's never trended!!! Why?

By the way, there is no drug for Malaria that goes longer than five years being potent. I can't believe I just said five! How generous for Malaria!!! AIDS disease is a mutant like you can’t believe. It baffles scientists!!! HIV is a viral disease and the problem with it is that you have to kill healthy cells to get to it. But don’t be fooled, it has got a cure. Yeah! People are that intelligent. But since it is more profitable to make ARVs, you will be told there is no cure. I didn't say this!

Anyway, mutation has ruined lives. I don’t mind mutation, but it is tricky if it happens inside of you.

 It is new and unknown. That’s the biggest challenge. Unfortunately, people don’t last that long to wait for a cure. Of course a cure can be found. Anything is possible.

I know professionals who have fled Kenya because they almost got shot trying to invent a cure for certain diseases. Yes, it is that bad. Their clients are big shots who you really admire on TV. Shock!!!

Anyway, every line of work has its challenges. Too bad if you don’t believe in Science. That’s on you. Anyway, why worry when you don’t have these bad diseases, right? Wrong.

Sometimes I wonder how many people I meet have HIV. People don’t mind it anymore because ARVs has made it bearable (No offense). People really feel it when you are all up in their business.

I don’t do Stigma. I was never good at it anyway, so I can’t be part of that group. I am a scientist. Diseases simply intrigue me. Especially the hard ones.

FYI, Malaria kills more people than Ebola!!! Believe me, a drug for Ebola will be found faster than you will say Malaria. Just because of the limelight, Ebola has become a sensation and it has a cure or it’s almost getting one. Obviously!!!

Malaria kills. It is silent but it will finish you. It does not spread like wildfire, but it creeps silently. Have you ever noticed that the silent diseases are the big shots? Diseases sung via media die a painful death. Diseases not focused on, wipe people like crazy. Too bad people forget things easily. Yes, I am among the said population. But It is good I am in this line of work. I told my cousin, I couldn’t be a lawyer. Now, I’m proud of it even if I was confused then. Very proud of it.

Anyway, not everything that glitters is gold. Ebola cannot compare to Malaria and that is why people will continue to die. Ebola is just for a time. Malaria has been there longer than Ebola and will continue to wipe out unsaid populations. Anyway, let me not tell you much. Judge for yourselves. Think.

I see fellas trying to say how you can keep yourself safe. Well, it is good, but don’t ever forget the main thing, it is never about safety only. You have to care about your fellow mates before you think of your own safety. That said, stars should really avoid gigs rather than show up in a balloon in a gig. You will get what you fear most.  Don’t fear Ebola. Especially if you are from U.S.A. You won’t die.

 There are worse things out there. Relax.

Anyway, keep trending Ebola, you are saving lives here. Pharmaceutical companies have your attention.
