The latest Blood Moon occurred last night.

The Coming Ebola #Apocalypse: Breakdown #ThisIsHowTheWorldEnds

So its finally happened: the Ebola virus is taking on the Big Apple.

Dr Craig Spencer, humanitarian hero or really selfish idiot depending on your point of view, is New York’s first Ebola patient. Of particular concern to many was that the good doctor took rides on the subway, in cabs, and even went to the bowling alley before his Ebola symptoms began.

Before I go on, maybe take a look at this pd…

The Coming #Ebola #Apocalypse

The death toll for Ebola has now reached 4500.

That’s 4500 people that the western world, in a state of apoplectic panic over 1 death (so far), mostly seem completely unable to care about.

It’s also around about half of the total people infected with Ebola, effectively giving sufferers a 50% chance of survival.

October's #BloodMoon (the Tetrad part two)

Donald ‘Can You Tell From This Angle?’ Trump

There’s so much going on in the world today.

Donald Trump has a personal vendetta against Ebola – maybe because survivors can experience hair loss.

Fanatical terrorists are kidnapping schoolgirls to be raped and sold into slavery.

Other religious extremists are taking over Iraq and beheading people.

China is manipulating news from pro-democracy…

Is there anything Ebola can't do? #Ebola #Ebolapocalypse

It had to happen sooner or later.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that Ebola is expected to hit at least 550,000 cases by January.

Or that there are only 2 doctors in Bomi County, Liberia, which has a population of about 85,000 people.

Or that Donald Trump seems to think nobody should be helping Ebola patients.

Or even that it’s a horrible way to die.

Because now…

EBOLA CAUSES ZOMBIEISM

The Ebola…

Way back during Pandemic June (well, it feels like a hell of a long time to this ol’ Captain anyway) I published some articles discussing pandemics and disease and general ill health.

The first article was about Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome and whether it was the next big thing pandemic.

The second was a discussion of history’s worst pandemics, into which Ebola, though not strictly…

99.4% communicability, he thought. It played insanely over and over in his mind. And that meant 99.4% excess mortality, because the human body couldn’t produce the antibodies necessary to stop a constantly shifting antigen virus.

Love him or hate him, nobody can deny that Stephen King is one of the most successful authors of our time. And one of the most polarising of his efforts was…

Doomsday Legends: Richard Matheson #Classic #ThisIsHowTheWorldEnds

He still heard them outside, their murmuring and their walkings about and their cries, their snarling and fighting among themselves. Once in a while a rock or brick thudded off the house. Sometimes a dog barked. And they were all there for the same thing.

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

I still have a dog-eared copy of I Am Legend kicking about in my bookshelf, and it gets dusted off every couple…

10 Things to Take With You When the Apocalyptic Pandemic Arrives

 It doesn’t really matter if it’s the black plague, Ebola or a genetically modified really bad cold that brings down the world.

You don’t want to become diseased and die.

So let’s assume you don’t get sick—you washed your hands after touching banisters and door knobs or the dead body you found blocking your front door. You didn’t…
