We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Fortunately human-to-human transmission is very rare.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Your guess is as good as mine. A lot of that mining is artesanal in makeshift mines and I’m not even sure the authorities have any reliable records, and if they do - I’m not sure they want to release them. There’s a lot of money involved.

Also, even though cobalt poisoning can lead to people vomiting blood, I think they have confirmed that this really is ebola.
Now they’re just hoping they can contain it before it spreads to neighbouring countries and beyond.
