Could A Major Terrorist Attack Come In The Form Of Suicide Ebola Agents?

Well, the guy in the hospital in Dallas just died. Didn't take very long once the disease took hold. Of course TheOldSchool and theDoctorisIn are more knowledgeable and better educated than us infidels so I guess we can uncurl from the fetal position, climb out from under the bed and watch the ballgame in peace.

Yea damn they should really doing something about Ebola over in Africa. The only place where there is a possibility of catching the disease.

Oh wait we sent people over there to work on that? Great! Why is that pissing republicans off so much?

What is worrisome about this is all the people that he exposed himself to on the plane, and those we may not even know about yet. The air on a plane is all recycled air. If I was a passenger, I would be quite concerned about my health.

Considering he was not contagious while on the plane those passengers have nothing to worry about. If they'd like to go for a physical just in case bully for them. I hope they have healthcare

Think about it. ISIS members are reported having been infected with Ebola in Syria and Iraq. It won't be hard for these scumbags to go to Africa have their agents get infected. Then with Obama's open border policy then could get into Mexico and just sneak across the border. All they have to do is travel the country go to events, interact with people, spread the disease!

A well coordinated plan could have a single agent infect 1000s a day. Then each one of these people could inflect 10s of thousands more! They could spread it easily and with our incompetent and limp-dick President it won't even be hard for them!

We should be afraid! Very afraid!

Ebola...no.

Smallpox....you bet.

It's really not all the difficult to spread Ebola, regardless of what some of you say.

"Ebola spreads through direct contact with body fluids. If an infected person’s blood or vomit gets in another person’s eyes, nose or mouth, the virus may be transmitted. Although Ebola does not cause respiratory problems, a cough from a sick person could infect someone who has been sprayed with saliva. Because of that, being within three feet of a patient for a prolonged time without protective clothing is considered to be direct contact. Specialists at Emory University Medical Center in Atlanta have also found that the virus is present on a patient’s skin after symptoms develop, underlining how contagious the disease is once symptoms set in.

The virus can survive for several hours on surfaces, so any object contaminated with bodily fluids may spread the disease. According to the C.D.C., the virus can survive for a few hours on dry surfaces like doorknobs and countertops and can survive for several days in puddles or other collections of body fluid. Bleach solutions can kill it.

In the current outbreak, most new cases are occurring among people who have been taking care of sick relatives or who have prepared an infected body for burial. Health care workers are at high risk.
What is the status of the man who arrived in the U.S. infected with Ebola?
Mr. Duncan, who traveled to Dallas from Liberia, was diagnosed with Ebola on Sept. 30. He died on Oct. 8. So far, none of the nearly 50 people who may have been exposed to the virus in Dallas have shown signs of illness."
