quote: ORIGINAL: LookieNoNookie quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen Ebola isn't easy to catch. It's only spread by bodily fluid exchange. you guys can relax. and avoid any fruit bats if you see any. You are sooooooo (unbelievably) uneducated (as is anyone who is under the impression that it can only be transmitted by bodily fluid exchange). I'm guessing that's why those they can deduce these people have come in contact with are now quarantined for 21 days and why everyone that comes in contact with them in any fashion at all are in a Space suit.....because they fear that anyone that comes in contact with them will be doing the tongue dance with these people or having sex with them (or....on that flight....have, did or, might have). Must have been a hell of a fun flight. GAWWWWD......the lack of education on this planet is extraordinary. Bodily fluids include sweat and spit (including while talking, for example). Not just sex or syringes.

Ya feel me? I really would have loved to have been wrong about this! Thanks for the link, DaddySatyr! If you don't usually click on links, you might want to make an exception just this once! ^^^ One other issue is that this Ebola strain is not the most virulent. The higher the death rate, the less likely you can have a pandemic. The lower the death rate, the longer people linger, increasing the opportunities for transmission. Having said that, Ken is right that there is no aerosolized means of transmission. Some real people, CDC/WHO, have warned mutations could happen. Could doesn't mean will. But it's a concern. Law of large numbers. Millions of infected would mean far more opportunities for Ebola to "hit the jackpot." Evolution in action.

Think about this for a moment. Liberia has a population of around 4.25 million but there have been less than 20,000 people catch the disease in an outbreak that has lasted well over 6 months. If it spread easily we'd be seeing flu season levels of infection instead of such a small number. Yes, it is a problem but it isn't something to freak out over.

ORIGINAL: Aylee I read about virus mutations in an alternative history science fiction novel. We are all doomed! Your candor is commendable.

FR - Before any final decision is made concerning what to do about the Ebola virus situation, I think we need to wait and see what Jenny McCarthy has to say about it.
