In the United States, there is a single imported case from Liberia that occurred last month.

In other words: yesterday.

Cringe? Here's cringe.

Can Your Dog Get Ebola? The Answer May Surprise You
Pet Care
by Sam Bourne
August 8, 2014
"An important caveat is, while dogs are able to contract Ebola, they do so asymptomatically. That means, while they can be a carrier of Ebola, they won’t present any of the signs and will therefore remain unaffected by the condition... The fact that they can be a carrier, however, means that they are able to pass the virus on to us, which could present a problem."

Importaint:

7. Ebola on dried surfaces, such as doorknobs and countertops, can survive for several hours. Ebola is killed with hospital-grade disinfectants (including bleach).

Eric vomits outside. Dog licks vomit. Dog gets virus.

Dog licks owners face. Dog pees in child’s sandbox. Owner cleans up poop. Dog bites someone. Lots of ways something bad could happen.

How many Freepers have gotten sick from eating at a restaurant, perhaps from mishandled food or simply because the employee failed to adequately wash their hands after elimination?

I would suspect this may be a vast and deadly way that it could get passed.

This one concerns me:

The virus spreads from person to person, or from mammals to people. Fruit bats are believed to be the natural hosts of the Ebola virus.

Once it gets into other mammals here we will always have outbreaks.

For Obola-the-undocumented Indonesian pRes_ _ent,
that truly would be ‘mission accomplished’.

And there is not a WORD from the EXEMPT, yet.

Regardless of what the “CDC experts”, MSM rent-a-doc, or other government sources say, the virus has mutated into several different strains and one of those is airborne.

The reason I suggest this is that they have a proven track record of lying at every opportunity to cover up their total incompetence.

Also, it was rumored that WH Science Adviser John Holdren, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel and Bill Ayers all wet themselves in excitement of the news that Ebola had arrived. And in conjunction with the Entero virus (which had its first fatality in addition to numerous cases of paralysis), presented the distinct possibility of mass casualties in the US for their much desired “reduction of millions of excess population”.

What's funny is the rumor that the Bubonic Plague might’ve been a form of Ebola, so that many people of European descent will be somewhat inoculated to it due to genetics. Have you heard that?

Their medicine was primitive at that time but probably just as good as the CDC’s guesswork so it might be possible.

For all we know, an Ebola cousin is endemic in our wildlife right now, and we have never discovered it because we do not eat bats and usually do not go near their caves.

A few years ago, a filovirus related to Ebola was found in bats in Spain. Ebola Reston has been found in the Phillipines (although the monkeys may have gotten sick from bats).

Wasn’t Bubonic/Pneumonic Plague bacterial?

Ebola is a filovirus.

You know that the CDC experts work closely with the scientists who do the Ebola research, the scientists who discovered everything we know about it, don't you?

Virus mutation happens all the time and really does not mean much. The five strains of Ebola have existed for a long time. No strain of Ebola is airborne, and none of them are ever likely to become airborne.

Mutation involves shift, drift, and weaponization.

Many wars are lost on such certainty as yours.

Another fact: The total number of probable, confirmed and suspected cases (see Annex 1) in the current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa reported up to 28 September 2014 is 7178.

You emphatically stated as fact “the virus has mutated into several different strains and one of those is airborne.”

Then you infer “you suggest”.

No where with substance have I heard any strain is mutated into airborne. Could you do us all a huge favor and substantiate your airborne statement with authoritative references? Otherwise please retract.
