100% chance everyone will die, so there's no point in vaccinations or surgeries or antibiotics or doctors or hospitals or even band aids....1 in 5 chance an American will die from heart disease. And if freaking out about ebola, it'll probably be you.
Those numbers could change....rapidly.3 times more lilely to die from a vending machine than from ebola.
Numer of deaths in the US per year from vending machines: 3
" " ebola: 0
Given the doom n gloom is coming from the media, just as it did about SARS and H1N1 they lsot me as a reactionary alarmist who'll spread the word getting the warning out. It's sensationalism whose only purpose is to sell more commercials.

It isn't time to panic on Ebola, not yet. One needs "significant exposure" to contract it. You can't get it from breathing the same air on a plane or bus, you won't get it from sitting in the same seat as someone who has it. It has to come from
bodily fluids and them those bodily fluids have to get mixed with your bodily fluids. Avoid blood, feces, urine, and vomit. Good advice normally.
Also, human skin, as long as it is intact, is an excellent barrier. Even if you got blood from an Ebola infected person on your skin, you are safe. Wash it off. The virus has to have access to the inside of your body.
At this point Ebola is not an airborne virus. If an infected person coughs, you would have to be close enough to catch it in your face to get infected.
Perspective is needed here. Hepatitis is not only more infectious than Ebola, it's more prevalent with thousands already infected in the US. We aren't panicked about getting Hepatitis.
Perspective again: there have now been over 3000 deaths in Africa attributed to Ebola. There are millions on people in the three countries where the disease is running amok. Their healthcare system is almost non existent and less than 4000 cases. Perspective.
So you'd ride in a car or fly with someone who has ebola?

Ebola's only contagious through physical contact with someone who's symptomatic. Be at greater risk in a car with non-symptomatic ebola patients getting a cold or flu.
Only reason ebola's spreading so much in Africa is their burial rituals involve handling the deceased corpse. Torah warning about touching the dead 3000 years ago. Guess it never caught on in Africa.

You can get it if an infected person coughs on you. In a car, that could happen.
What if someone infected with Ebola is working out at the gym, and they sweat on a machine, bar, weights, etc... and then you end up using those things?
Can it be spread like that?

Riding in a car is too close. If he pukes there or coughs the chances are too high that I could get inoculated with the virus. If i knew a person who was infected was getting on a plane, I wouldn't.
but your nose, eyes and mouth are like sponges if you transmit germs/bacteria/virus to them...What if someone infected with Ebola is working out at the gym, and they sweat on a machine, bar, weights, etc... and then you end up using those things?

Unlikely for two reasons:
1. Your skin is a very effective barrier against infection, as long as there are no wounds.
Ebola is one of two things:
Hyped like swine flu but nothing really to worry about
OR
A disaster in the making that they are downplaying.

Of course you wouldn't. No one would...but there are several who are trying to minimize the danger. I was wondering how many of them would actually be willing to take the chance.
Like you said. "perspective"
More like to die in the US being bitten by a flea from your indoor-outdoor cat giving you tuleremia (aka bubonic plague) than ebola. Handful die every year from plague. None have died from ebola.

Are you putting your mouth on gym equipment? Hey if you are into that, no judging here!
Are you putting your mouth on gym equipment? Hey if you are into that, no judging here!
Ohhh..word games now...LMAO Ok......
Did the people who have it now put their nose, eyes or mouths on gym equipment?
Did ANYONE who EVER got ebola, get it from putting their eyes, nose or mouth on gym equipment?
