I like how Ebolabat is now a recognised concept.

What the countries really need is some economic growth and governments that are worth a damn.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I don't think that an education would help, LSP. There's plenty of starving people there.
Education is the first thing we need. If everybody knew the scientific details of Ebola we'd be seeing almost zero infections.

I don't know. Nowadays everyone is or should be at least dimly aware of the link between cancer and smoking. Yet people still smoke. Even health professionals that should know better.

All it takes is one ebolabat...

Next thing you know there's gonna be E-Bolabats.
Now I'm imagining two bats tied together by a rope that you throw at people.

Yeah, that's why all these doctors and nurses treating Ebola patient keep dying, because they don't know jack shit.

Less culturally imperialist than... meatily imperialist? I guess? From what I understand of meat, just due to what bushmeat tends to be -- the type of animals, and how they live/what they eat -- the meat trends toward being on the lower range of delicious flesh quality, compared to your average farm grown stuff or whatev'.

ayyyyyy

are you saying that meat farms are in any shape or form superior to ebolabat

the only reason meat farms are not ebolabat is because they spray fucking everything with so many antibiotics i recall who shouting "pls no"

give them a knowledge of virology to the measure of "hey guys catching bats is not a good fucking idea" it's not like poor people don't keep away from poisonous shit if they very well know it's poisonous don't they
Well, to be fair, it used to be true in the West as well.  Pigeon pies are much harder to find nowadays then they used to be, and rat in the West has gone the way of "traditional food" - I'm not sure I've ever seen a rat paella.  Education is all and good, but others have already pointed out the issues in that education alone isn't enough.  It is entirely true that ready access to mass-produced, safer (as you yourself say), and above all, inexpensive meats - regardless of which meats those are, or how those meats are produced - will reduce the consumption of bushmeat and have positive effects on Ebola transmission from wild animals to humans, which is not a bad thing. 

((Of course, that said, just because we don't actually eat it doesn't mean we don't make the occasional joke about dog-meat and emergency food supplies.))

Don't give me that shit. You know full well their infection rates are from voluntary exposure to people with symptoms on the level of bloody projectile vomit. But the civilian populace, the ones actually driving the infection, would be much better off if not for misinformation and paranoia regarding the disease. If they had knowledge comparable to that of the medical workers, this would already be over because they wouldn't be doing things like attacking the body-disposers and rubbing their hands on their dead Ebola-saturated relatives.

Trying to sum up what Africa needs in a sentence is a task whose energy is better spent fighting ebolabat.

Please. Ebolabats are still an existent species. Any oppression to date has been solely incidental. We have not yet begun to oppress ebolabats. You will know when we start when they go extinct.

Are you seriously suggesting endemic cleansing of ebolabat? You disgust me.

what we need to do is introduce these poor, disparaged against ebolabats into modern society by giving them a level playing field
