Six Ebola Threads

1. It is not easily spread. Body fluids, which in this country we mess with a lot less than in Africa, where families members are caring for their very sick relatives.

This. Did you hear how the guy who is in the hospital in Dallas contracted it? He was carrying his landlord's daughter to the hospital. What would happen in the equivalent scenario in the US? An ambulance would transport her to the hospital.

Why don't you worry about cancer or crossing the street or something more realistic?

Texas Ebola patient was in the DC area:
"A Liberian official said the man traveled through Brussels to the United States. United Airlines said in a statement that the man took one of its flights from Brussels to Washington Dulles Airport, where he changed planes to travel to Dallas-Fort Worth."

That news is so yesterday

Im still more afraid my 12 year old kid will get hit by a car walking home from school alone than Ebola.

And irrelevant. He wasn't contagious when traveling through Dulles.

I read an article interviewing someone who studies diseases a few weeks ago who said that this Ebola outbreak was very serious. While this particular strain had not, at the time, evolved into an airborne virus, the scientist was very careful to point out that diseases mutate all the time. And the more incidents of full out Ebola that erupted, the more potential there was for mutation.

Yes, but someone who studies disease also knows that they don't mutate to airborn quickly.

I heard he had a coffee in Dulles. With a bag of chips. There's probably some poor sanitation worker in Reston dying from Ebola now.

Just watch. Tomorrow it will be 14 threads. You have been warned.

15 threads. Its like stepping into an alternative universe. I can't tell if Ebola is just bringing the folks with anxiety disorders out of the woodwork or if people are just bored.

I'm angry at idiots like you who seem to welcome third world disease into your nation.

Not pp but I don't welcome Ebola in the US. Obviously things need to be done regarding flights entering the country as well as training at ERs and urgent care centers. They screen for TB and they now need to be taught to screen for Ebola. But it also seems that some people are getting a little too anxious and in an uproar over this.
