Are we being duped by this Ebola news?
You are a better man than I. I do not watch him.
I do to, but some FReeper pointed out that the more the virus has progressed in the victim, the more contagious they are. I still think it’s interesting if he was intimate with his fiancé.
I said that to my family earlier. The MSM is pushing Ebola hysteria and downplaying Enterovirus which has affected more people and children at that. People will rise up if it’s obvious that Obama is killing children.
More kids have died from the enterovirus than from ebola
I haven't seen where a kid died from Ebola, yet. Do you mean that D68 virus?
Typical concern to pessimism to paranoia.
Last year it was bird flu, SARS and MRSA that was going to kill people by the million.
The problem is really political correctness. It’s killing in small numbers now. Just a matter of time until it kills in large numbers.
No they don’t. The LIVs will need to be force fed the explanation.
Like I have been posing for weeks, the media and this administration will do everything in their power to keep the truth of how dangerous this virus is until after the election. To all, don’t rack your minds any longer because this is the case here.
And 500 people in 42 states have it
Whoops, I read it too quick.
I think we are not being given all the information.
For instance, there are many, many viruses, and many variants of the ‘ebola’ virus. IIRC, around 12 different variants.
Which one is this ‘ebola’ ?
Who is verifying the exact strain ? You can’t just put a slide under a microscope and tell.
“Do you mean that D68 virus?”
Yes, I thought that would have been clear...
Lately I’ve been hearing the left trying to use Ebola to justify big govt.
Thomas Duncan lived inside that apartment with his family members for at LEAST 4 days while he was exhibiting symptoms!!! Notice how whey were whisked away from the media, to a ‘gated community’ so no interviews could be done.
Whoops, I read it too quick.
“Is this because the family was not in contact when he was most contagious? “
A percentage of Africans are immune due to generational low dose exposure. Nobody from here would have even the slightest immunity.
When the Spanish and English got to the new world the new world’s inhabitants were practically wiped out by diseases that the Spanish and English suffered from in a much lesser degree because of centuries of exposure. Same reason.
Good point. We’ve lost a heck of a lot more children from Enterovirus than we have adult healthcare workers from Ebola.
Taking precautions is debatable from what was announce today. Apparently, for the two days they waited for Duncan’s test results, no one wore protective suits.
It was. Too many Ebola threads on my mind.
“Notice how whey were whisked away from the media, to a ‘gated community’ so no interviews could be done.”
And some of them are probably on the other side of the grass now. They wouldn’t tell us...
