Will obama and family be hidden away in a bunker where he can still be on tv?

If they let the news out for wider public circulation, you should be hearing very soon about a doctor in Dallas testing positive.

Something is gonna come out that changes how we view and fear this virus. I am a fireman and an EMT and deal with hospital personnel regularly. There's no way in hell these two nurses got this particular strain of Ebola that is only supposed to be capable of being transmitted by bodily fluids. My money is on the fact that it has mutated to a form that can be transmitted through the respiratory system. Wait and see!

Yep, things mutate, and this is what is going to cause the biggest problem with dealing with it.

Another interesting article, basically the other side of the coin.

Ebola Fear Factor: Why America Needs a Viral Reality Check

The University of Minnesota denies that its Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) has said Ebola can be transmitted through the air.

CIDRAP News had published a commentary raising that possibility on Sept. 17.

"Being at first skeptical that Ebola virus could be an aerosol-transmissible disease, we are now persuaded by a review of experimental and epidemiologic data that this might be an important feature of disease transmission, particularly in health-care settings," the authors wrote.

Some news sites such as Breitbart.com took that to mean CIDRAP officially endorsed the authors' position.

On Thursday, the university said CIDRAP does not make that claim. The authors, Lisa M. Brosseau and Rachael Jones, are from the University of Illinois at Chicago, not the University of Minnesota, the rebuttal stated.

Ebola experts such as Erica Ollmann Saphire at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla said the virus can't survive as dry microscopic particles wafting in the air or on surfaces, because dessication destroys the viral membrane.

It's also extremely unlikely that the virus could be transmitted through droplets from a nearby person sneezing. Tests in non-human primates have failed to find transmission through droplets, and such transmission has not been documented in people.

However, Ebola replicates with greater efficiency in the respiratory tract of pigs, Ollmann Saphire said. In the laboratory, monkeys housed in cages about 10 inches away from infected pigs have acquired Ebola through droplet transmission.

"So do not bring your infected pig on an airplane," Ollmann Saphire said. "Do not spend multiple days in face-to-face contact with an infected pig."

It has already come out. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have released a study where they claim that Ebola has the potential to be transmitted via exhaled breath and "infectious aerosol particles."

Maybe I'm taking this too far but is this the "change" Obama and his band of retards have been looking for?

They had to wait maybe longer than they anticipated and those nasty doctors are slowing the progress of the infection by saving those 2 nurses but maybe they can over come those obstacles if we keep the border open and flights to the infected countries open.

Am I too cynical? Does the "administration" have a credibility problem or is it me? Dang! kwg

That is a very interesting article.
Just one small quote:

"On October 14, the New York Times reported that in Liberia, with �only� 4,000 cases, �Schools have shut down, elections have been postponed, mining and logging companies have withdrawn, farmers have abandoned their fields.� Which means that the baseline for �best-case� is already awful."

Can you imagine No Elections?

University of Minnesota officials knock down tweet that its researchers say Ebola is airborne

Quote
University of Minnesota officials are knocking down a tweet claiming its researchers say Ebola is airborne.

University spokeswoman Caroline Marin told the Star Tribune in Minneapolis that the university never made such a claim.

In fact, the tweet refers to a commentary posted a month ago on a university website that was written by Chicago-based researchers who were debating Ebola's "potential to be transmitted" to health workers by aerosolized virus particles, and thus what protective gear they should wear.

World health authorities have been clear that Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, and that blood, vomit and feces carry the most virus. Health workers are at particular risk because in the course of caring for patients, they draw blood and clean up diarrhea when the patients are most infectious. Likewise in the epidemic zone in West Africa, people involved with burials of highly infectious bodies are at high risk.

What if a sick person's wet sneeze hits your hand and then you absentmindedly rub your eyes? Asked about such scenarios recently, Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, allowed that, theoretically, "it would not be impossible" to catch the virus that way. But it's considered highly unlikely. No such case has been documented.

"Should you be worried you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone?" he said Wednesday. "The answer to that is no."

Frieden said "what actually happens in the real world" � and he cited four decades of dealing with Ebola in Africa � is that the disease is spread through much more direct contact with a sick person.

The World Health Organization says the same thing and notes that few studies have found Ebola in an infected person's saliva, generally in patients who were severely ill.

number of ebola deaths to date: less than 2,500

number of flu deaths on an average year: 23,607 (can be as high as 48,000+ on a bad year)

but feel free to panic

Re Ebola, I only need one reason to panic.

His name is Barack Hussein Obama.

hmmm interesting article


but I disagree with his premise


no good reason to PANIC


calm resolute action would seem to be a better course, but that's just how I see it.


if I have my way the only way I'd see the inside of a FEMA camp is feet first.


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
