In a recent incident in Australia an American actor smuggled two dogs into the country aboard his private jet. He could have informed the authorities and they would have quarantined the animals until they left the country or they were deemed free of the rabies virus. This is one deadly disease that our region is free of and to risk that for the sake of a recalcitrant visitor who thinks himself above the law was an abomination to all Australians.
Rabies kills more than 50,000 people a year according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and has one of the highest fatality rates of any virus. It is now a greater danger to people in Africa and Asia than in the United States where only three people are known to have survived it. Louise Pasteur produced a vaccination to combat the disease and this has had a remarkable effect in Europe and other western countries where it was once a major threat.
It is transmitted by a bit from an infected dog or bat through contact with their saliva or brain tissue. Until Pasteur worked on the formula to control it Europe was inundated with it. With the countries where it remains prominent the vast distances and superstition among the native inhabitants makes it difficult to educate them into the need for a vaccine.
Meanwhile people who transport dogs from a country where rabies is known to be present into another which is free of the disease should be heavily dealt with. Bats are everywhere and are likely to bite dogs and pick up the virus for transmission.
After my reincarnation my knowledge of how we return to life after death has impacted on my study of human mortality and biblical prophecies that state that at this time we will be trapped by our own mistakes. Surely the things happening now in regard to the way diseases and viruses are so easily transmitted and the speed of travel around the world needs more attention.
