I haven't seen one of those, do you have a link?
Who really knows? Of course we have complete confidence in their tracking....right?

It would be easier if you guys would post your links to your source of information.
That doesn’t say what you claimed. Your link totally contradicts your claim.
“”This is only the deadliest outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease because past ones were so tiny. At this writing, there have been 1,603 reported cases in Africa and 887 deaths.
That’s too many. But every day about 600 sub-Saharan Africans die of tuberculosis, and contagious diarrhea claims the lives of 2,195 children, the vast majority of them in sub-Saharan Africa.
Malaria, syphilis, AIDS and probably dozens of other diseases each year kill Africans at higher rates than Ebola is killing right now.””
So you don’t know, but we can assume that it is more than one or two, probably quite a few of them, I think Canada has at least two.
The Council of Foreign Relations reports that the spread of Ebola is out of control. I would edit this to add that infected individuals don’t care if it was airborne or not.
Canadian scientists did do an experiment with pigs and monkeys. Pigs were infected, monkeys caught the virus even though they were separated by a barrier.
They having a little trouble getting volunteers for a human to human experiment.
Ebola virus does survive several days outside the body so indirect transmission would be possible.
Nose pickers beware!
“Everyone’s gotta die of something.”
“We seem to have been dealing with infecting monkeys with the Ebola virus, for years.”
Are you thinking of the Reston ebolavirus that was featured in ‘The Hot Zone’?
If so, that virus is closely related to the Ebola that infects humans but is itself not pathogenic to humans.
No, the Ebola research that is taking place in the U.S. and Canada.
I don’t know what all the labs are doing, but at least the one in San Diego was/is infecting monkeys with it and then trying to cure them.
It is mind boggling to me how easily they have allowed flights in and out of the areas of infected people.
Yes. There are a lot of Liberians in Minnesota trying to get their friends and family here asap from Liberia. So glad I don't live near there.
droplet precautions are three feet.
liberians are desperate to leave the country and are getting out to where ever they can
I think South Africa has some suspected cases too.
This is exactly how very bad situations get worse. Without quarantine these people are getting to where ever they can and infecting others.
Minnesota Liberians struggle to get loved ones out of Ebola-stricken areas
It is just amazing that these countries were not put under quarantine...now it could be too late.
I think we're beyond the "desire to be PC." We've been PC for so long, it's just the way many/most people think. They are so locked into agreement about how things are, they never question it, and if you do, they think you're "weird" or "eccentric."
Neither one....nor anyone who is drunk or insane
Well played
