True, but the saliva has to mix with your bodily fluids, just getting it on your skin won't infect you. And Ebola is not a hardy virus outside the host, it's susceptible to infrared light and cool temperatures. It's a strictly tropical virus that needs an immediate host to survive. And there has never been a confirmed case of airborne transmission, so the risks aren't any greater than with HIV and those folks are everywhere now.

I don't think doctors understand everything about Ebola.  What is stopping the virus from mutating and becoming airborne?  Basically nothing.

 

There have been studies done that concluded Ebola could be transmitted through coughing or sneezing.  It hasn't gotten out of hand, so no, we shouldn't panic... however it's not something that should be taken lightly.

There's a difference in what I said and what you just finally learned from someone doing your research for you, but I'm going to let you figure out what it is on your own.

Has everyone signed up for Ebolacare yet? :devil:

Maybe, and word is that it will cost billions and take years to be remotely ready.

 

It is Ebolacare after all......

I read an article saying it could travel through the air. It might've been a bunch of baloney, but I have no experience with this so I don't know who's right or wrong.

Maybe we can issue a royal decree delaying the effects for a while?

They'll just rewrite it.

killed nearly a 1,000 in Africa now. the scary thing about viruses is they tend to mutate so hopefully it dosent at some point become an airborne virus. From what I hear the two Americans brought over tend to me recovering well so that's a good sign.

And too whichever poster mentioned "the hotzone"'it's a very good book.

Guess they had a Ebola scare in JFK airport but it came back negative.

They should have been treated in Africa.

 

If they needed to be Medevaced, they should have been brought to a ship or Military base, preferably outside the US. 

 

It was a calculated decision...

I agree a 100% if the need to bring them to a better facility with better doctors was approved by the US Govt then why in H_ _ _ didnt they fly them to our highly sofisticated (and expensive) Naval medical ships or Carrier?

That way if it broke out we could just sink the ship?


It doesnt matter they havent stopped all flights, ships (cargo, passengers, etc) from Africa coming into the US so if its as bad as many fear if they dont do that it'll spread regardless.
