The outbreak in Angola keeps spreading and now 4 neighboring countries are considered at risk. How long before an infected person boards a plane and spreads it beyond Africa?

12 Monkeys!
We'll all be living underground!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Outbreak was also a good movie based on the theme.
the bbc has some info here:
Sounds pretty bad
I wonder if, like in Outbreak, these kind of events will ever be linked to some scientific military black ops type scenario?

12 monkeys is one weird movie.Comment

When I first saw the movie, I was sorely disappointed in the lack of monkeys.Comment

Chemical testing indicated the most deadly "Zaire" strain, but only a couple people got sick (light fever and stomache upset) and they recovered fine, so evidently it is a new strain closely related to Zaire, but less deadly to humans. It ****ed the monkeys up something good though. And the samples of virus from that outbreak are still treated as class 4. I wouldn't want em in my fridge...Originally posted by pchang
