Ebola

I have been following this with deep concern:

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2014/06/west-africa-ebola-crisis-out-control-2014620152657770137.html

The first concern is the mutation that it can take.

Can it then spread in a pandemic fashion.

My understanding is that when the plaque hit Europe, it took one third of its population. And my understanding is that it was a flying insect, the flea that transported it from person to person.

Our current transport for Ebola is by the mega flying insect - the air plane and it can take it from nation to nation..
