!!!!! Ebola !!!!

[LoAmmi]

Exactly. Ebola lives in the bodily fluid of the person it has infected. It's not a virus that, by itself, can travel, hover, move, or live in the air. Just because somebody with Ebola coughs spit and snot through the air, bodily fluids that will naturally be contagious, doesn't make a disease airborne. That is literally the same as saying that AIDS is an airborne disease because infected droplets of blood can fly through the air briefly upon expulsion. People literally make me shake my head at the lack of thought and research behind some of the things they say.

But people with Ebola flew on planes. AIRBORNE!!!!!!!

Okay, I probably shouldn't have laughed at that as hard as I did.

Well, here I am again in the position of trusting AMDG, keyboard warrior with no scientific knowledge in the spread of this disease or credible scientists that have studied Ebola and state that it is not, in fact, an airborne virus. Hmm... tough call, but I'll go with the people with knowledge and training as opposed to frightened keyboard warrior making judgement from her house.

I must say this place no longer holds back with thew name calling and insults. maybe after another brief hiatus from these forums, I will stumble upon profanities and porn links.

Airborne viruses are those that can literally hover. If you are on the opposite side of a large room with an infected person, you are at risk. Ebola is not airborne. Coughing droplets or throwing blood and stool does not make a disease airborn.

Correct. It never was airborne. It was Droplet/AEROSAL.

The scoff is strong with you. I imagine only until you thrown up blood.

Looking at your signature, I am surprised you haven't addressed this *forum* on that content, as I am sure on this forum you are judged. But, definitely you shouldn't be surprised by how Christians treat their own.


If you are atheist in a Christian crowd, at least you can rest assured you won't have to meet those people in heaven. If you are a Christian in a Christianforums.com crowd, York best bet is to go to the mountains for a decade, so to speak. The forums will only get worse because the people will believe they are doing gods work of incredulity and judgment.

 

[AMDG]

The virus doesn't spread through the air. Give it a rest.

It spreads by contact with *droplets* of the virus. That has been made clear over and over again by the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control (if one reads between the lines of "one can't get it riding on public transportation, but one can GIVE it to others by riding on public transportation" and even the "we need to track down those 132 people on the plane that flew with the nurse who had ebola".

Perhaps people should stop with their cavalier attitudes concerning a deadly disease--one the CDC says will claim a million lives by January.

OK. You panic about it. Let us know how that works out for you.

If there is panic, then AMDG is just a little ahead of the curve, that's all.

If this mess actually gets loose and becomes a pandemic, there will be panic, all right---and from more people than just AMDG.

And, as usual with those who mock others for being overly cautious, they'll be the first ones running in circles with their hands to their head, wailing, "But how could this have happened??? What are we going to do???"

I hate that the cliche of your last paragraph happens to often.

In the case of a virus, or even possible mass infection of the virus with a 70% mortality rate, I would heed the early panicking. I don't want to be late.

Boy, I sure wish they could get their stories straight....

i read recently 1000 ppl a week are contracting this and in months it will be 10,000 a week.
30% survival rate.
So 70% will die from it.
80 students in State College are quarantined right now.
It can stay in the body for 21 days til you have signs.
Its the same possibility as getting a cold - because bodily fluids can enter any moist opening - such as the mouth or nose from a sneeze.

There is one possible 'cure' but the US deemed it poison...?

I dont know.
But something has to happen before we have millions dying - all over the world eventually.

LOL!

They said colloidal silver is poison!!!!

Lol...


Wow, yea.


More money can be made off of vaccines, treating ebola as a chronic illness (like cancer, AIDS, and diabetes) rather than curing ebola, or developing immunity. Colloidal silver has been used for a long time as a powerful germicide. My gosh... they must really want this virus to spread.
