But Smoothy It spreads from bodily fluids so there is no danger of infection, now where have I heard that before? Those bodily fluids sure get around.

HIV was a virus the general population was told not to fear and yet millions throughout the world became infected, but not to worry it takes years to kill you. Ebola on the other hand kills most infected people. This may limit the spread of infection. Over and over again our over confidence in "modern" medicine kills us, because these people just don't know what they don't know

Sure there is never a danger from ignorance.

Scare mongering

[cdad]

How so? Many flock to the US to get the best care they can get. Do you really think that the open boarder policy that we have now can stop anything like that? They can come in during the incubation period and infect who knows how many.

And so it begins...

Yes is it the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end

Oh, come on Clete, is this your first plaque or what? And what happened to the asteroids?

[paraclete]

Tal like you I have seen many diseases come and go and well we just wait for the next one we let get out of hand, Disease and asteroids are with us all the time and then there is CME and ELE and don't forget we are always five volcanos away from nuclear winter. Thing is Tal what we are doing is unsustainable and the more people we have on this Planet the more likely we are going to have a pandemic. History tells us it is just a matter of time

[talaniman]

History also tells us that no matter the challenge we have to deal with it. Lol haven't had enough coffee yet this morning to decipher CME or ELE, so forgive me for not getting excited about all the possible ways the human race could end.

[paraclete]

Just to help you out CME; coronal mass ejection, we missed one in the last two years, ELE; extinction level event, could happen anytime. These you don't deal with, you are back to the stone age or worse

A 2012 study shows Ebola might already be considered an airborne virus. Contrary to the propaganda we are being told.

There have also been 6 people so far tested for Ebola in New York and not just the ONE the Pravada ( the drive by media) has been telling people.

Once it gets loose in the population it will spread and the only way to stop it is isolation

[tomder55]

yes it's airborne ......via airplanes .

[paraclete]

The last threat was disease became airborne in birds, these things mutate and it is already airborne in bats, fortunately bats have a limited range, but airborne in humans is a problem which can be dealt with by shutting down flights to west africa for a few weeks. It seems we are slow to take the prudent path and we must get wide spread alarm before action is taken, we have already had someone return here from west africa.

I think it is often forgotten a cough and a sneeze may transmit microscopic amounts of bodily fluids over a nearby person

[tickle]

Particles from a sneeze or cough travel quite far, from room to room actually, FYI

[tomder55]

good thing then that the ownership of Mapp Biopharmaceutical didn't listen to all the talk of the evil Pharma industry . Let's see how quickly the FDA fast tracks the approval of their experimental drug ,knowing the urgency ,and the apparent success it has had on human patients.

[tickle]

You guys are missing the point here. Ebola virus is not spread through the air, from a sneeze or cough. One can only contract it by bodily fluids. So unless you are near someone who you know actually has it, which won't be likely, just don't let them pee on you. Or you can do what we healthcare workers do, wear surgical gloves at all times.

[paraclete]

tickle I'm sure its not as simple as that, don't you think the health care workers in africa know this
