Time progression of the typical symptoms is from time of infection, not after incubation.

Day 5 symptoms may not appear until day 21
Day 5 symptoms may not appear until day 26. Whats your point?
That is including the incubation period. That is a typical after becoming infected. It is not day ten after incubation
Read the chart, it says incubation is 2 -21 days. That means you may get the disease within 2 -21 days of being exposed to it. Disease progression is different. Vomiting around day 10. Progression has nothing to do with incubation.
That’s an assumption, specific to Mr. Duncan.
Why do you think that? What are the symptoms in day 1-4 if that was true?
Time progression of the typical symptoms is from time of infection, not after incubation.
It appears there is a time where you have the disease but no symptoms. It also says disease is not contagious until symptoms appear. Don’t know how much to believe. And then, it takes the 2 - 21 day incubation period. That means, if you are going to get it you will within 3 weeks of contact. Some don’t. Some good books out there. Hot Zone is one of them.
Sorry, I missed this post by you. That is false. They either appear by day 21, or they were not infected. See the previous step in the same chart. I posted it here on this thread just above this post.
Day 5 symptoms may not appear until day 26.
If you can go 5 days without symptoms, than day 5 may not appear til day 26.
False, go back to step 3 in the same chart. If symptoms do not appear by day 21, there is not a risk of infection.
I’d like to pause for a brief moment of silence to thank LIBs, Clown Prince nobama and other Ameerica-haters for their pin-headed policies of multiculturalism that fomented this situation. May you enjoy the deaths on your hands, you ghouls.
The correct name is now Obola.
Does this help?
The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days. Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.

Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days.

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
“I do not know what those air filtration systems catch on airline and what they do not catch”
According to Boeing, the HEPA filters on it’s aircraft are very effective at trapping microscopic particles such as bacteria and viruses and can provide essentially particle free air in the recirculation system.
Checked with doctor friend on how to read that chart. It is her understanding that symptoms may start mild (low fever, aches) and progress very rapidly, maybe he started earlier with mild symptoms but didn’t seek treatment. So yes could have 5 day symptoms on day 26. That doesn’t mean the virus started on day 26. I have been out of the medical field for a long time and wanted to make sure I understood this right. Everyone keeps mentioning the 2 - 21 day incubation period, and while it is important, it shouldn’t confuse the facts.
So you are claiming the CDC and WHO are both wrong when they say if you have no symptoms after 21 days, you have no risk of infection of Ebola.
And you base that on a flashy graphic put together by USA Today, and you want to ignore the previous step in the same graphic.
We will just have to agree to disagree. God Bless.
That’s not what I said. Symptoms appear by 21 days. That doesn’t mean they may be exteme enough to seek treatment. I have been trying to point out that Mr Duncan likely had the disease much earlier then he would like us to believe. And prior to flying he claimed he never had any contact with ebola. Agree to disagree
Post #68 "Day 5 symptoms may not appear until day 26."
So by your understanding, what would be the symptoms day 22-25 following a 21 day incubation period?
I have been trying to point out that Mr Duncan likely had the disease much earlier then he would like us to believe.
For me, you have not made that point.
Mr. Duncan, the first person to develop symptoms outside Africa during the current epidemic, had direct contact with a woman stricken by Ebola on Sept. 15, just four days before he left Liberia for the United States,
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/02/world/africa/ebola-victim-texas-thomas-eric-duncan.html
He went to the hospital with symptoms 11 days later. 2 days later he was vomiting and went to the hospital by ambulance.
And prior to flying he claimed he never had any contact with ebola.
They already documented he was lying. Liberia wants to prosecute him. He did not have fever as he got on the plane.
Depends on the health of an individual’s immune system IMO.
Agreed, that is why it may be anywhere from 2 to 21 days, most are 8~10.
It appears all health agencies agree if you make it 21 days without symptoms after exposure, you did not get it.
