The city of Sao Paulo is home to 20 million Brazilians, making it the 12th largest mega-city on a planet dominated by shortsighted humans. Shockingly, it has only 60 days of water supply remaining.

Men who recover from Ebola must abstain from having sex for three months or risk passing on the disease in their semen, health experts have warned.
If you think water is in short supply in California, you should see what’s happening in China. The situation is so dire that next month, the communist government will turn on the taps in the world’s biggest water-diversion project. The Yongding River, which once fed Beijing, ran dry along with 27,000 other rivers in China that have disappeared due to industrialization, dams and drought. “Some of the large parts of the north China plane may suffer severe water shortages,” said environmentalist Ma Jun. “Some of the cities could literally run out of water.” To try to solve the problem, China’s government is planning to spend nearly $80 billion to build nearly 2,700 miles of waterways — almost enough to stretch from New York to Los Angeles.

Liberia, along with Guinea and Sierra Leone, have been hardest hit by the outbreak, accounting for almost all the cases and fatalities.

Acknowledging California's parched new reality, the city of San Diego has embraced a once-toxic idea: turning sewer water into drinking water. The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to advance a $2.
Ebola continues to spread wildly in Sierra Leone as experts project that virtually all major cities in the United States will face imported cases of Ebola amid the failed response of the CDC. The nightly news says the story on the disease is ‘closed,’ but medical doctors around the country happen to disagree — and overwhelmingly so. In fact, medical professionals are now speaking out privately and publicly about the ‘cover up’ of potential Ebola cases that they say may end up with their careers on the line.
