More on #Ebola: One of the really horrifying things about Ebola is that it’s a life form. It doesnt have a consciousness, it doesnt have anything like morality. Its main purpose is to survive and to perpetuate itself. It’s a parasite that thrives on the love that exists among human beings. If you have a member of your family who is sick with Ebola, and there’s no doctor to treat them, that person is going to die in your arms. Loved ones are dying in one another’s arms, so the virus is passed on from the dead to the living. ... Ebola is mutating rapidly. Ebola does not do a very good job of copying itself. Ebola is like a medieval monk hand copying a manuscript and as the manuscripts are copied, the monk makes mistakes and a letter is changed here or there, a word is changed here or there. Steadily, Ebola is evolving. And it’s now spreading widely through the human population. So Ebola is learning more and more about people, so to speak. It’s encountering a new environment in humans and adapting to us. The worry and danger is that the longer this outbreak goes on and the more and more people get infected, the more chances Ebola has of coming up with a mutation that would be really dangerous for us. Bad for humans and good for Ebola. t.co/QY8bxC7GMp
