[quote=Anonymous]No OP Ebola is not really, really hard to get. It isn't airborne but its much more contagious than other fluid transmitted diseases like HIV.  Its safe to sit next to someone with HIV at any stage in the disease. Sitting next to someone with Ebola in the late stages of the disease is not safe.

Has it not occurred to you that there is a reason why the # of infected is growing exponentially this fast while HIV spread is nowhere near as fast?

Ebola is less of a threat in the US because there are many areas with low density where infected individuals would not come in contact with others and standard practices in ERs separate patients/use disinfectant. There are improvised, urban areas where an outbreak could affect a cluster of people creating a spot outbreak.

If it hits areas of China, India, Haiti, other African nations or other improvised high density urban areas then the outcomes could be even worse.

This is serious and tragic..not everyone just move along nothing to worry about for us. [/quote]
