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

In other words: yesterday.

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).

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.

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”.

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.

It seems that the Zaire strain has mutated into the
Obola strain.

My question is ... once the Dog is infected (Shows no symtoms etc) now a carrier ...

How long is he a carrier? Forever?

That is one scary thought

TT

3. As of Sept. 23, the Zaire outbreak has a 47% fatality rate. The World Health Organization reports 6,574 cases, which have resulted in 3,091 reported deaths. Early supportive care is the reason for the reduced deaths.

Not true. This is a nice little trick to calm fears.

You do not get the fatality rate by adding new cases into the number who have not passed through the illness. The last count I saw of the numbers of that has passed through the whole cycle off this version of Ebola is an 84% fatality rate.

Big difference in a 53% survival rate and a 16%.

My question is about thermometers and their accuracy.

In a CDC scenario, in quarantine, one takes their temperature twice a day....to monitor your body temp to see if it is *elevated*.

From my layman experience, back when I had a glass thermometer [the kind with mercury GASP!] and those *new fangeled digital thermometers came out, I purchased a digital.

My kids were young, and you know how young kids are *always* sick with something. FFIW, I recall taking their temp with both the glass/mercury as well as the digital....the digital consistently ran 3* over the glass/merc in comparision

Now which one was right?

The readings a suspected Ebola patient takes/records could be bogus, depending on their instrument...perhaps putting them into a contagious state....or not.

I understand the newer IR thermometers are pretty accurate

Jes sayin’, wonderin’
