The Only Surprise Is That It Took This Long...The First Ebola Class Action Has Been Filed
2014-11-04 14:44:14| Paper - Topix.net
I am always amused by the manner in which class action lawyers attempt to capitalize on current events and public fears in bringing a "cutting edge" lawsuit that will garner a great amount of media attention. Although the Ebola headlines are giving way to the election news, last week, the first Ebola related class action lawsuit was filed, presumably based in part on hopes to ride the wave of public attention on this health crisis.

"There is a very urgent need to recognize the difference between Ebola and non-Ebola patients as it reaches regions where it has not been before," said Erwan Piriou, lab adviser for Doctors Without Borders, which has tested and admitted 3,200 Ebola patients in Africa.

2014-11-02 08:30:52| Biotech - Topix.net
Common sense is finally breaking through with regard to the spread of Ebola, despite conflicting information by our nation's public health agencies. After repeatedly denying that Ebola can in any way spread through the air, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has now quietly admitted that it actually can, with the release of a new poster that says "droplets" can spread the disease.
