[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no travel alerts or warnings for the three countries impacted. It's transmitted through bodily fluids. Or butchering infected meat. I'd think regular hand washing, etc. would be good enough. Regular travel precautions. Fully cooked food, etc.[/quote] Regular hand washing in an epidemic like this is not good enough. If you touch someone's bodily fluid (let's say spit or mucous) who has the flu and wash your hands, you may or may not get the flu but you are already exposed to the disease. Up to your immune system to see how well you fight it. Do you really want to take that chance with Ebola? Not me and I wouldn't allow my child to travel to west Africa. This epidemic is serious and fast spreading. It's actually quite scary [/quote]
