Does Ebola actually turn you into a zombie?
So, I;ve seen a lot of conflicting reports out there about E. bola and zombies. Last week, a couple people rose from the dead. Is it fake, or is Africa going to become a zombie nation?

No, you haven't seen conflicting reports. You've seen real news reports, and you've seen blogs and posts written by little kids on zombie-fan websites, and you can't tell the difference betwen the two. That's not the same as conflicting reports.
Ebola is real, and it's nasty as hell. It's ravaging through parts of Africa right now, and it's only a matter of time until it breaks loose in the western world. But it won't be nearly as bad in the western world, because (no offence Africa) we have things called health care, sanitation, and education. We know not to touch a dead person when they died of a nasty disease, we know not to pick up their puke or urine with our bare hands, we know about basic hand-washing, and they've never heard of our levels of health care.
Zombies, on the other hand, are 100% fantasy monsters.
Zombies as far as right now are real but not in the way your thinking, Zombies don't have to been blood thirsty dead people chasing you. The zombies that are real are People under a neurologic disease or virus. For example Mad cow disease turned people to "Zombies" because they were acting with violent shakes and uncontrollable spasms and laughter since they were doing this against their free will. So technically this person would be referred to as a zombie.
Three people have reportedly resurrected after they died of Ebola. So the zombification effect probably only works on less than 1/10 of one percent who die from Ebola. Of course those 3 could have just been early risers. And the rest just haven't gotten up yet since the zombification process will take more time for them.
Only one person reportedly rose from the dead, Lazarus, and he wasn't a zombie. No zombies rose from the dead anywhere, especially after getting Ebola. Ebola will probably just kill anyone who gets it and is not treated fast.
Oh, honey. If your sources are telling you people turn into zombies, then you need to learn what reputable sources are.
No, Ebola doesn't create zombies. It doesn't raise people from the dead, it kills people.
The people that were said to have died, hadn't died, they were simply being treated. They did not "rise from the dead". I believe people are trying to make fake articles to further scare the public.
Your joking right? Zombies only exist in movies.
No. Nobody rose from the dead. Get real.
