Woman Vomits on Tour Bus in DC, Then States She Just Returned From Africa

[Meathead]

Ah. The virus can be transmitted for nearly two months through semen from male survivors.

Looks promising folks!

I also predict a "racist" disease.

you dont catch it by sitting next to someone moron

Moron, sick people get their germs on everything they touch. Ebola germs live quite a while on objects. If the sick person touches their mouth or runny nose, then touches a door handle, back of a seat or anything else, the germs are left. If another person touches the same objects, then touches their own mouth, they can get sick.

If an Ebola patient coughs, sneezes or pukes, it does pose a risk and people have to be super careful. So, yes, you can catch it by sitting near someone on a bus.

The nurses who became ill didn't kiss the patients. They merely touched the patient or things in the room and likely touched their mouth without thoroughly washing their hands. Or the patient sneezed or coughed on them.

Point is that it can spread fairly easy. You don't think all those people in Africa were all kissing each other, do you?

Ebola spreads as quick as the flu and people need to be careful.

would you stop lying you sack of shit.
The risk is higher but you dont get it from sitting next to a person. Few things have to happen in order for that.
Point is it doesnt spread fairly easy. 4000k have died from it in africa where there is millions of people.
So far three people in the US have had it. One died, the others are stable. We have 300+ million people in the United states. 3 people have had Ebola....You do the fucking math dipshit.

Do the world a favor, go find hole and stay there if you are that afraid of ebola. Save us from your panic and stupidity. Thats the real threat to peoples health

Not only just 4,000 people (which is bad enough), but that is spread out over time since 1978. It's not like those 4,000 people died this year.

"You can't get AIDS from buggering! That's racist! It's a proven fact...and...ummm...stuff like that."-- Southern Poverty Law Center & The Queer Agenda, San Francisco, 1982

To date through 2014, 636,000 people have died of AIDS in the US. At least 2,000,000 more are infected. --CDC web site.

Not only that, but AIDS has ravaged the US worse than any other developed Western country. Our rate of death is 23 times that of Germany, though our population is only 4 times larger. Why should Ebola be any different?

Great New Republic article on AIDS here:
AIDS Hit the United States Harder Than Other Developed Countries Why New Republic

Well, then, I would recommend that you not take it up the ass as often as you obviously have in the past.

HIV is spread (mostly) through sexual contact or through shared IV use.

Ebola is not spread through sexual contact, because by the time a person is symptomatic, the last thing her or she wants to do is to have sex.

So, your comparison is a non-sequitor. Like most of the screeds you write.

 

[Iceweasel]

Trained medical people in suits have come down with it and libtards think you can't get it sitting next to someone on a bus? Liberals and their policies and priorities are going to kill us all.

What precautions is the OP taking to avoid Ebola?

I'm not doing shit. if God wants me to die I'll die. I don't worry about the little things.

Yes you do, in fact you can be 3 feet from someone and be infected. Perhaps you should pay attention to facts and reality.

no. no you can't. that would require it to be airborne...Ebola is not airborne. Unless that person vomits or sprays them with their semen or blood you are not going to get it..

How hard is it to catch Ebola - The 2014 Ebola outbreak - Vox

Perhaps you should you know, stick to what you know, which is nothing

( emphasis added)

Although I believe some may be overhyping this issue, your statement is not true. It is bodily fluids, and contact with the skin of an infected person, so yes, mucous, spittle, from sneezing in someone direction and said bodily fluids entering through "broken skin or mucous membranes such as the eyes, the lining of the nose or the mouth", can spread the disease. Additionally, if you spit, bleed, vomit, crap, etc. on an armrest, or whatever, and I touch it without noticing for up to 4 minutes later, I could become infected- although the risk is small, it still exists.

What it did not say was if those who have Ebola without symptoms can indeed spread the disease. I think the article was quite interesting.

I also think the fact people can spread this disease for up to 7 weeks after being cured also of note.

BBC News - Ebola outbreak What is risk of catching it on a flight

I touch it without noticing for up to 4 minutes later

SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: Filoviruses have been reported capable to survive for weeks in blood and can also survive on contaminated surfaces, particularly at low temperatures (4°C) Footnote52Footnote61. One study could not recover any Ebolavirus from experimentally contaminated surfaces (plastic, metal or glass) at room temperature Footnote61. In another study, Ebolavirus dried onto glass, polymeric silicone rubber, or painted aluminum alloy is able to survive in the dark for several hours under ambient conditions (between 20°C and 25°C and 30–40% relative humidity) (amount of virus reduced to 37% after 15.4 hours), but is less stable than some other viral hemorrhagic fevers (Lassa) Footnote53. When dried in tissue culture media onto glass and stored at 4 °C, Zaire ebolavirus survived for over 50 days Footnote61. This information is based on experimental findings only and not based on observations in nature. This information is intended to be used to support local risk assessments in a laboratory setting.

Whine away. There are germs in the air every single day. There is a difference between taking some precaution and screaming that the sky is falling (which is what rabid Righties like you are doing).

A meteor impact upon our planet is much more likely to wipe out mankind than an outbreak of Ebola anywhere.

1.1 BILLION people in Africa. 4,000 deaths from Ebola, over 36 years time.

1 death in the USA, 3 cases. 334 million people in the USA.

You do the math, you stupid RW fuckwad.

That last sentence is very irresponsible of you. I'm guessing that you know that it isn't true. What is your problem?

Her problem is she is a repub trying to make ebola a political football.

You avoided my point and drooled on your "I hate conservatives" baby bib. Are your diapers dirty? Freshen up and try again, trained people in suits can get it so how is it a distant risk?

Yes you do, in fact you can be 3 feet from someone and be infected. Perhaps you should pay attention to facts and reality.

no. no you can't. that would require it to be airborne...Ebola is not airborne. Unless that person vomits or sprays them with their semen or blood you are not going to get it..

Really ? so all those thousands in Africa were vomited on? I dont think so. Its better to error on the side of caution even if someone thinks your foolish.
If your wrong you only suffer a little inconvenience

alot of them came from handling the dead which still carries it. Again direct contact. A lot came from aid workers dealing with sick people. Again direct contact.

Do you get it yet? Direct contact
