MY500SS Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Let's face it guys...the public is not being told the complete truth about what's going on with this virus. We only get tidbits of controlled news these days. Bear in mind that the figures you see regarding survival rate are only based on known and reported cases. On that basis you might say, ok, maybe its better than has been reported but. But I strongly suspect its the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silly fast Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ebola is known to wipe out entire vilages in Africa, no one escapes. And it can be airborne. No it's not airborne It only can contracted by close contact or body fluids. They got the desease by being over there to help the people that got sick. I am glad they came back here for treatment. Here is a opertunity to study and see if they can find a cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Eh. I was heavy into cell biology and microbiology before I got into chemistry. I see concern for them, tops. Giant outbreak and lethal breathing conditions occurring because of an epidemic or whatever else people are starting to throw around - its just noise.

David Hawkins Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I would bet you my Paycheck that if the 50 African officials that are coming here were made to stay at the White House or with members of Congress, they would not be allowed to come here.

RUFDRAFT Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I hate to fly for many reasons and I really don't like to travel places I can't drive too. I miss out on a lot of what the world's cultures have to offer, but, it seems no place is safe anymore from either war, disease, or idiotic shootings. Count your blessings everyday you rise in the morning and be thankful every night you survived another day. Engine bay is -- one bad ass MF! It must make some very sweet music when engaged!

Don't worry, everything is fine. Yep every things ok they say..they are saying now there will be over a million people that will contract the virus within a year and that it's already mutated 60 times so far the fear there is that the more it mutates the more likely hood that it will become airborne and if it does then it'll spread as fast as the flu around the globe...so yeah folks keep traveling to these Countries of high risk no worries..I know personally two people that are going over to Africa in the next month to do humanitarian work IMO THAT should be STOPPED!!

ilmor Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Here's a good article w/ graphics showing the movements of Thomas Eric Duncan. What trouble me most is that this individual, knowing that he had direct contact w/ a dying ebola victim, traveled and came to the USA anyway. People with knowledge and common sense knew this was going to happen eventually if steps weren't taken to prevent it by those in power. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/01/us/retracing-the-steps-of-the-dallas-ebola-patient.html?_r=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
