FoxNews participates in the big cover-up about the Ebola virus!

[PoliticalTorch]

Just another reason to seal the borders folks.

Too bad we can't make the border air tight! Will Ebola force us to create domed cities?

Well if some of the folks here who feel there is no real threat with Ebola and who support bringing in people infected with it to this country had their way, yes, we may very well be looking at domed (doomed) cities before long.

The US has far, far superior containment abilities than does Africa.

FoxNews is inaccurately reporting that the Ebola virus cannot be transmitted through the air. This is a big lie!


Ebola transmission by aerosols confirmed: virus survives for days outside infected hostsf

In fact, a 2012 BBC article entitled "Growing concerns over 'in the air' transmission of Ebola" states: (3)

Canadian scientists have shown that the deadliest form of the ebola virus could be transmitted by air between species. In experiments, they demonstrated that the virus was transmitted from pigs to monkeys without any direct contact between them. In their experiments, the pigs carrying the virus were housed in pens with the monkeys in close proximity but separated by a wire barrier. After eight days, some of the macaques were showing clinical signs typical of ebola and were euthanised.

Horseshit. The Ebola virus can only be spread via fluids. Now, can those fluids be sprayed out, as in a sneeze or blood spray? Sure. And if those fluids happen to hit a membrane (eyes, inside the nose ect) it could be spread.

But let's stick with what the CDC scientists say rather than sensationalistic doomsayers.

The US should, but fear sells. Discussing research is boring, panic interests some............

People need an Africa/Ebola training video on this site.

This not Africa. There are no fruit bats spreading the disease.

The only concern I'd have with the Zaire strain is the incubation period.

Non story. Non issue.

Non story. Non issue.

True.

But fodder for the gloom and doom rightwing misery offensive, nonetheless.

That's funny, then how did we all hear about it ?

 

[Politico]

There is nothing to hear other than the crinkling of tin foil. The news are a bunch of bobble heads who rarely get anything right.
