[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get it from shaking hands, touching something that person has touched.

We all have tiny breaks--cracks in our skin--especially during winter.

The long incubation time makes this a real fucker to contain.

Signed, a former Hazleton (Reston lab from Hot Zone) immunologist[/quote]

If it was that difficult to contain we would have all been dead a long time ago.  The disease is actually pretty self containing because symptoms are so awful - symptomatic people aren't going out to dinner parties/the office.school and the disease is very lethal to the host.[/quote]

Wrong. This is the first time it's been on a plane to the US. It hit lab animals in Reston-not people.

This is major. This is different. It is exponential because the incubation is 21 days. People will show up in the ER, urgent care thinking its flu and bam--wildfire.

People are merely mimicking the sound bites put out by CDC. False assurances. The CDC is shitting its pants right now.[/quote]

And hopefully washing its hands afterwards.[/quote]
