Ebola is out of control

Did they ever say how the two American aid workers contracted Ebola? Supposedly they would be taking modern precautions...

I remember when I was following the story some time back a local aid worker responsible for cleaning the area where the sick were being treated got infected and died. They assume the Americans contracted Ebola from him in a staging or otherwise considered safe area. Although they can't pinpoint the exact action that caused the virus to be transmitted, from what I've learned about Ebola and during the time following the story I learned a lot more than I ever wanted to lol, I believe the transmission happened from a hand shake followed up with touching of the face, possibly eyes.

Although it's true that Ebola in it's current form (that we know of) in Africa can only be transmitted by bodily fluids this also includes sweat, and because it can exist for an extended period of time in these fluids (think dead bodies), and because we are talking about Africa in the summer months, people are sweating a lot! Temperatures in the safety equipment they use when treating and attending to the contaminated area get extremely high which can cause excessive sweating, with these conditions in mind you can imagine what happens next. These medical workers aren't stupid people and yet to date, more than 240 health care workers have developed the disease in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and more than 120 have died.

1:14 in this video, a Doctor mentions sweat is a bodily fluid that can be used as a vehicle to contract Ebola.


Number of times a human touches their face per day increase chance of transmission.

Of course this contradicts all of the assurances that it is so hard to contract, and it requires intimate contact. Ebola ain't AIDS.

Oh btw for those that care, Ebola reaches another country

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/29/health/ebola-outbreak-senegal/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

(CNN) -- The West African country of Senegal has confirmed its first Ebola case one week after closing its border with Guinea over fears that the deadly outbreak could spread, the Senegalese Press Agency reported Friday.

Senegal is the fifth country in the region where the virus has spread.

Senegal's health minister, Awa Marie Coll Seck, confirmed that a 21-year-old university student from Guinea was infected with the Ebola virus and placed in quarantine in the Fann Hospital in Dakar, the news agency reported.

Officials in Guinea alerted Senegal on Wednesday after losing track of the young man, the agency reported.

That particular paragraph is referring to Ebola Reston- that is- Reston, Virginia, where that particular strain spread in a monkey holding facility, from room to room, through air vents. . . .
Unfortunately, many ... have confused Reston with ALL of Ebola, and it is simply not true.

i would have been one of those who understands Ebola solely from the monkeys in Reston, Virginia - which came from Africa.-
and that is good enuf for now.

Maybe I am a hard headed old man or something, but it is good enuf for me to die in some future month/year/decade
still holding on to old school core beliefs and ideas about all sorts of things . . .
young'uns try to manipulate that they know something new by obfuscating sometimes.

I will be fine enuf considering Ebola as a primarily monkey disease from Africa, some humans get it through contact with the monkeys or a bat cave,
which is where the Ebola of Reston infamy got traced - kids playing in a cave.

In humans you bleed through every orifice . . . ears, eye sockets, and even pores of skin - not airborne per se like tuberculoisis,
but the patient is bleeding every where - bound to happen even with precautions that bodily fluids like infected blood gets around
to infect health care workers.

Ebola does not have to mutate anymore to be deadly . . . containment has always been a goal for this decades old virus.

Good luck everybuddy.

With genocide and a smile.

My concern is that the sick fucks in Labs are meddling with it.

And it may not "mutate" on it's own,, but have help.

They are working on a vaccine in a lab about 50 miles from me.
