Although Ebola spread largely in an area where hygiene has not been invented yet. Everyone touching the dead and so on, even when they died from Ebola. 

 

It's rather hard to compare this, Ebola, SARS etc. This seems to spread easier, but seems less fatal.

Well, removing the dead happens in the every culture. The problem was that weren’t wearing protective gear, because the didn’t know Ebola could live outside a living host for a while. Ebola is extremely difficult to eradicate, and I actually think those nations involved in the outbreak deserve a little credit for containing it.

 

Novel Coronavirus is less deadly than Ebola, but it is still dangerous. It could kill a healthy person, but the deaths have mainly occurred amongst the elderly and already sick. 
 

It’s worth noting that both of these diseases started in local “bush” meat markets. That is the bigger danger here. These places need to get shutdown soon.

True, but the lethal rate is a lot lower. It's pretty much like a bad flu (not exactly, they are different viruses after all), older/younger/immune compromised people should be concerned, everyone else not so much other than being very ill for a few days.

I wouldn’t call a disease that causes sepsis, “a bad flu”, but you are right that healthy people should mostly be fine if they contract the disease.

Sepsis isn't that hard to get, especially if you aren't getting treatment or are in a place with poor healthcare.

 

Just to be clear, don't go around kissing infectious people, but you shouldn't be any more concerned about this than the various other medium risk diseases in our world (basically the media is making this a bigger issue than it should be)

Yeah this is essentially, slightly more deadly pneumonia.

Removing the dead happens, but when people die of an infectious disease, it's generally not a good idea to go on as usual and let everyone and their mother touch the dead person. Just to be clear: not blaming the people there for still being far behind in hygiene in situations like this, but it did make it very much easier for in this case Ebola to spread.

 

The biggest Ebola epidemic didn't start in a local market by the way, it most likely started because of a young boy coming in contact with a bat in some tiny village, after which his sister, mom and grandmom got infected and died, and then it spread.

Bat meat is sold in markets in the those countries. That’s where WHO claims Ebola started.

A hollow tree in the village of Meliandou, to be exact. It housed a large colony of bats, which children used to play with. A 2-year old boy caught the virus and then it went on.

Since tons and tons of animals are being hunted and killed in Africa all the time, for a large part because Chinese people believe a rhino horn gives you a better erection or something....would it be possible to make the same people believe poacher meat is a cure for the coronavirus? At least then something good would come out of this..

I heard, from a very respectable source that should not be questioned, that eating poacher meant actually releases all the bad spirits from ones body, including the influence of the devil

And it gives you a mega dick apparently. Which, I assume, is something Chinese people would be interested in  

 

Only 15 dollars a kilo, go ahead!
