Just an awful tragedy and hopelessness , never in my life would I want to see those images again of families and children orphaned and suffering . If this can help in any way, I hope they can unlock what ever secrets ebola has , because lord , that is just cruelty .

Its been known since 2005 already that the Ebola virus is carried by Egyptian fruit bats and its been known since 2007 that the

Marburg virus is carried by Egyptian fruit bats as well.

This information has been given also to the public in West Africa short after the discoveries have been made and and warnings

have been given to the public in West Africa that a consumption of these animals do pose a dramatic threat to health.

But the consumption of these animals hasnt stopped.

Its a mess.
