The empirical evidence of an airborne Ebola Strain is overwhelming
Hat Tip GWP - Patrick Sawyer was the American businessman, who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia, then collapsed after he got off a plane to Nigeria and died July 25. He was the first patient in Nigeria with the Ebola virus. The Nigerian authorities have refused to release the names of other passengers on the plane with Mr. Sawyer, or notify the media of their status.

Yep...it’s very unfortunate the way all this has played out...
Apart from their obvious marxist slant, something like this, from media all over the globe, would not be easily dismissed due to ideological foundations, IMO.
The balloon would have gone up across the world about the virulence, communicability and deadliness of this strain due to their primary instincts that haven't been censored as of yet by all governments all over the world.
If the toll was that numerous and the outlook that dire, no ideology could trump the real facts (at this point in time, the future is not a given, yet).
If airborne, we would have a spreading virus in every corner of the world by now and panic would be ensuing to levels never seen before in modern times.
Use your freaking brain! Don't let yourself be ruled by emotions like a liberal!
Read the literature. Scientists have determined that it can be spread from monkeys to pigs through the air. They have not yet determined if it can pass in the same way to humans.
I have read the literature! Prove to me that this strain is airborne!
Look at the numbers and use reason, not emotion!
small
how about explaining why all the folks in the good doctor Brantly’s isolation room are dressed in full biohazard suits and follow level 4 procedures to the letter.
how come they aren’t as cavelier as you are?
if after all its not airborne then why the full face respirators and biofiltered air supply?
you have no expertise other than you own opinion and certainly not more expertise than the docs at the CDC.
so I’m the one spreading the fear - not the guys down at the CDC in the full containment suits - right!
you are full of it or yourself but that is just my opinion and even you are entitled to your own opinion.
I mentions the word prudence I would also add the word caution- something the docs at the CDC do everyday.
bump for later
Hey professor, I told ya you can believe anything you want. I have no problem with that. I don't give a damn what ya believe.
I told ya I have little reason to believe *anything* this media or this government says about anything.
BTW, you don't want to get foul me and play like you know it all.
If ya don't like it that's just tough sh*t.
Prove to me that this strain is airborne!
nobody has to prove dick-squat to you, who the heck do you think you are?
men wiser than you have indicated caution, folks here have pointed out particular NIH papers where are your citations that say it absolutely isn’t airborne?
If that were remotely true, there would be far more infections reported in Africa, considering it is in four locations. There would be far more deaths as well.
To my knowledge, to date, there has been no reports of upper respiratory involvement in the affected.
To date, there have been no reports of a new strain.
Frankly speaking, the “We are all Gonna F’n Die” internet crowd is really wearing out it’s credibility fast.
You can continue to post suppositions with no basis in reality other than your own speculation, or you can use simple intelligence to see for yourself that your proposition has no basis in reality other than your own personal beliefs/feelings.
Take a moment to look at what would actually transpire, or more to the point, what has already transpired, if this virus were TRULY airborne! The actual results we've seen to date do not match such a wildly speculative hypothesis!
I expect more from those who post on this forum! This type of gibberish is what I expect to see on a forum that is dominated by FEELINGS, specifically those on the left.
Fine. Believe what you shall and go squat in a corner in dire fear for your life for all eternity as far as I’m concerned. I have little use for fools and less for those who are determined to live a life of ignorance!
So, basically what you are saying is, you have nothing other than your personal feelings and beliefs to back up your dire predictions, hypothesis and drivel and everything you post is to be fawned over by all regardless of reality?
Please, get over yourself!
Boy, where did ya get all slick?
All those baseless comments ya just pulled out of your rump make you one deceitful individual, at best.
Deceitful in what way? Specify?
I’m nowhere near the brightest bulb on the tree, but I do have enough “smarts” to understand just about any subject you can toss my way. I do plenty of reading and research and rarely post my opinions unless I believe I have a solid foundation to stand upon.
I’m prepare to back up my statements when posted, and I’m also prepared to state that I’m wrong when proved so.
Reboot your memory professor. I tell ya I believe little or nothing this government and media say, and suddenly you suggest and imply I'm an ignorant fool, who's cowering in dire fear for the rest of eternity, who's determined to live a life of ignorance. Lol...Did ya forget what ya just typed out?
In fact you seem inordinately angry about how I feel about trusting media and this government.
I find that extremely suspect.
The Animal strain, a one time event in the US in Reston Va, did, but the virus disappeared and only exists in test tubes right now. But it was absolutely harmless to the human immune system. Even contracted from infected blood via a cut in the skin, the virus disappeared in the human.
It's so called airborne characteristics are a subject much debated. In my view, since this particular strain did in fact affect the respiratory system, this indicates that it can be contracted through the breathing in of aerosol droplets from a sneeze or cough from a infected animal near enough or perhaps aided by a fan or AC system blower.
But it can't travel for any long distance unaided. aerosol droplets are considered contact with bodily fluids. Different from the hantavirus that can be transmitted through dust in the air as a result of disturbing a nest of a infected rodent. That can't happen with Ebola as when dried it is dead. It has to have the right environment to live very long outside the body. Humidity, nutrients..etc..
But let's get back to the point here.. All that was in regard to a animal, specifically a type of monkey, the Reston strain that is not the point of discussion here.
The known human strains are not reported to attack the respiratory system. they attack joints, and connective tissues, smooth muscles in the gut and perhaps the throat as occasionally their is a complaint of a sore throat but not the lungs..
These strains are also not known to spread until the patient is in end stage, unable to travel and obviously compromised. So sitting on airplane with someone not in end stage but infected, the incidence of contact with his her bodily fluids would be difficult and the chance low. Not zero, but low.
OK....now you can return to your utterly wasted efforts to have a useless panic attack.
That is not deceit, it is a reflection of the parsing I made of your statement.
Anger has nothing to do with my post. More to the point, it is disappointment as I expect more of those on this forum to be reasonable by way of an intelligent observation of the given facts and reasonable interpretation of the data set that has been provided from multiple sources.
You may find is as suspect as you desire. I have nothing to hide and only wish to help end the unbelievable nonsense being spread upon these “Ebola” threads as it reflects negatively upon FR as a whole, IMO.
!
Bull shit...You clearly implied and suggested I was an ignorant fool, who's cowering in dire fear for the rest of eternity, who's determined to live a life of ignorance.
Did ya forget what ya just typed out?
All this BS because I told ya I believe little or nothing this government and media says or reports.
Again you seem inordinately angry about how I feel about trusting media and this government.
I have nothing to hide and only wish to help end the unbelievable nonsense being spread upon these “Ebola” threads as it reflects negatively upon FR as a whole, IMO.
That's got zip to do with what I told you slick.
In fact I think you reflect negatively on FR, with your wild reckless suggestions and baseless implications.
you are one sick puppy maybe the ebola got ya
