Camels May Transmit New Middle Eastern Virus
sciencehabit writes "Ever since people in the Middle East started dying of a mysterious new infection last year, scientists have been trying to pinpoint the source of the outbreak. Now they may finally have found a clue in an unlikely population: retired racing camels. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates produce and consume large amounts of camel meat. The authors of the paper point out that huge numbers of camels are imported to the Middle East from African countries as well as from Australia, where the animals were introduced in the 19th century and which now has an estimated 1 million feral camels. (Australia started exporting camels to Saudi Arabia for meat production in 2002.) That raises the possibility that African or Australian bats harbor the virus and camels carried it to the Middle East."
Not the US government... camels.
Camel toe camel mo camel pro
...after Camel-toe of course was some sort of computer virus. I need to go to sleep..
About time that thing got out of the lab.
I know it was a dupe, but deleting it? Not sure that has happened before.
Bunch of ragheads and camel humpers who get involved with sand fleas.
I told them camel fuckers to stop it, or they will get it and get it soon. Dumb ragheads.
*Good*
The Committee decided they should be shipped en masse to other parts of the world.
"though it may be a challenge to do a nose swab in a camel."
Camels spit without much provocation, making it near trivial to obtain saliva, so lame way to wind up an article, sorry. As well, this is most likely an engineered virus/contamination, deployed as one of many around the globe by nare-do-wells looking to prune the world's general population. Follow the money and don't waste too much more time on ferals...of any type.
The Haj is coming soon (i believe it will be October). If MERS escapes into the pilgrim population, it will be a global disaster. Packing millions of people into the track around the Kaaba or the Plain of Arafat will be a perfect place for MERS to spread. Then they will all get on airplanes and scatter around the world. MERS has a very high mortality rate WITH modern medicine intervention. If pilgrims start taking it home to villages in Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc where there effectively is no medical care, lots of people are going to die.
People believed the monkey meat explanation for the origin of AIDS crossing over into humans as opposed to the alternative theory. But Camels in the Mideast.... Errrm. Not buying the meat theory this time around.
Who didn't think this was from dune coons fucking camels. Honestly?!
Australian camels mostly live in the arid inland regions of Australia. Not too many bats around there, or trees for that matter.
I guess this is what you call "a camelwoe".
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
Muslims have a very repressed sexuality. That is why homosexual pedophilia is rampant withing the Islamic world. Secondly, it is followed in popularity by beastiality. In fact many Muslims end up married to goats and other livestock (Google it.). Sometimes I think it might be best to turn the whole Islamic world into a sheet of radioactive ash and molten glass. Those subhumans don't deserve to exist among the rest of us.
Oh come one, seriously?
.. this happens ALL the time. Just because some doctor finds a cold virus in their system, doesn't mean you need to be afraid of Muslims or start calling them camel humpers or promoting nuclear war!
.. designed to make you shun others, specifically, to shun Muslims. 2 people have died, flu viruses cause many more deaths than that every day. This is the promotion of unrealistic fear, nothing more.
It doesn't matter whether this is a naturally occurring virus or something created by whatever government around the world wants to make people afraid of Muslims, this is just plain silly. People are dying of pneumonia
I'm sick of the insighting of hatred against Muslims. It's such a programmed fear response. If you don't recognise the programming being unleashed upon you by these global fascist insiders, then you need to take a long hard look at yourself. This is fear programming
Take the red pill.
Stop fucking them camels!

A respected captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a remote desert outpost. On his orientation tour, he noticed a very old camel tied out behind the barracks.
He asked the sergeant, "Why is a camel tied to the barracks?"
The sergeant replied, "It's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel."
"Well, I suppose if it's good for morale, then I guess it's all right with me."
After he had been stationed at the fort for six long, lonely months, the captain simply couldn't control his sexual angst any longer. He barked to his sergeant, "Bring the camel into my tent."
The sergeant shrugged his shoulders, looked at the other men, and led the camel into the captain's quarters.
Within a few minutes, the captain emerged from his tent, fastening his trousers, almost beaming with pride. "Well, sergeant, I must say that animal's service is certainly worth its keep," he said with pride.
The sergeant replied, "Well, actually, sir, usually the men just use it to ride into town."
Settlers bring viruses to native australians, australian bats spread viruses to humans across the world. The circle of life?
Let me get this straight: the first human cases of a viral outbreak in the middle east might very well have literally been camel jockeys? Hang on, I'm writing this down so I can come up with a better joke for work tomorrow.
In Soviet Russia, dot slashes YOU!
Lavabit, Email Service Snowden Reportedly Used, Abruptly Shuts Down
First time accepted submitter bazmail writes "Remember when word circulated that Edward Snowden was using Lavabit, an email service that purports to provide better privacy and security for users than popular web-based free services like Gmail? Lavabit's owner has shut down service, with a mysterious message posted on the lavabit.com home page today. The message reads in part: 'I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations. I wish that I could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I feel you deserve to know what’s going on--the first amendment is supposed to guarantee me the freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has passed laws that say otherwise. As things currently stand, I cannot share my experiences over the last six weeks, even though I have twice made the appropriate requests.'"
Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike.....know what day it is??? DOOOMSDAYYY! WHOOP WHOOP!!! :)
The Stranglers: Vladimir and the Beast:
Thank you, my fatherland
For helping me to be totally reintegrated and normalised
Only in the world's greatest socialist democracy
could one hope to be forgiven for losing temporary sight
of the aims and goals of the of the Marxist/Leninist revolution
Two years it took me to be cured of my illness
Being still a relatively young and fit man
I was still in search of fulfilment
The memory of Olger, Sergey and my two children
Motivated me to seek an occupation
That would both repay my debt to my great party
And obviously help the way to international socialism
I was still unable to resume my lectureship at the sub-nucleonic particle physics
And therefore volunteered to help our Afghan comrades
In their great struggle for liberation
I was readily accepted
Into a motorized maintenance unit
It was not long before I realised that our support
For the liberation struggle of our comrades in Afghanistan
Was not viewed at all together unanimously by the local population
In fact, we were not allowed outside of the barracks unless we were in large armoured groups
During our brief stay in Afghanistan
We had discovered some of the very few pleasures open to visitors to this desolate place
A local concoction called "hashish" was being increasingly used by our troops
And many of the helicopter gunship and tank crews, moreover
Would smoke large chillums and joints before embarking on missions around the mountains, surrounding Kabul
Every week comrades who had fallen into the hands of the rebels
would be found in various states of dismemberment around the camp
Those unlucky enough to be still alive
Were sent from rehabilitation
to the German democratic republics
Since this would prevent any undue alarm by our loved ones back home
The wisdom of this policy is evidence of our leaders' great care for their people
Apart from hashish there was not much to divert or endure the cold mountain nights
And increasingly there were signs of the troops acquiring the illness of which I had previously been cured
And therefore, my attention was focused more on looking at the few animals that were kept within the military compound.
As is often the case between human beings and animals
A close bond of affection can develop
And I became increasingly close to a camel I named Dimitri
Ah, dear Dimitri
No one can really understand the relationship between a man and his camel
As was the case with the army doctors and my superiors
Who sent me to convalesce in the German democratic republic
wait, not that kind of camel?
I first read the title as 'camels transiting Venus.'
And all I wanted was a seed investor for that Camel ranch plan.
It's called Islam.
I used to love CAMELS, Before that Paul Malls, but now I smoke NAS cause.... well I smoke NAS.
I can't believe the CAMELS have a virus.
I'm sure this has to be a false flag.
I see they got the H1N1 up to H9N7 now. Busy fuckers.
Guess what DAY it is !!

I guess they should have stuck with sheep...
Hump Dayyyy!

Despite being some kind of dago or wop it seems you're more of an expert on my native language than I am. So would you care to enlighten us as to what a "nostril do well" is supposed to mean?
And while you're at it, can you show why the commonly accepted form involving the omission of the "v" from "never" to give "ne'er" - which actually does make semantic sense - is wrong?
Words are one thing. Phrases are another, and sentences another still. Arrogant, ignorant wetback fucktards are yet another, and you're one of them.
