Quote:He questioned that they really know what they are doing. He seems to be completely right because they can't keep from catching it either.

 

Eric didn't claim to have the answer, He merely pointed out that those people didn't have the answer either, and guess what, he's right. He's beating you 2-0 in his argument.

 

I don't have a dog in this fight, but he's dead right about what he said.

 

They know how Ebola is spread. People can't keep from catching AIDS. Does that mean we don't know how AIDS is spread? Your logic holds no weight.

 

World Health Authorities (MSF, WHO, etc.) have been dealing with Ebola for years. We know what precautions work. Further, Emory PROVED that those precautions work. This was an instance of poor management and/or poor protocol enforcement. It's not an instance of medical authorities not knowing what they are dealing with.

 

This is from the European Center for Disease Control:

"Transission of EVD (Ebola virus disease) requires direct contact with blood, secretions, organs, or other bodily fluids of dead or living infected persons or animals or with materials or utensils heavily contaminated with such fluids."

And these guys wore protective gear? I'm starting to think we're just not sure how it spreads.

 

 

That is wrong. They know how it spreads. It's a matter of preventing that spreading.
