I thought about the mosquito bite situation. Betsy McCaughey was on with Cavuto today and said if you are in an emergency room and someone is vomiting or has other bodily fluids touching anything, there is a great chance to infect someone. She said the hospitals are not prepared for this and the real danger is if a hospital unknowing receives a person who has Ebola.

airborne if for no other reason than they are deliberately flying it in to the country.

If they are developing serums and infecting monkeys for testing, and have been for years, doesn't that mean that Ebola has been in the country for a while?

What exactly does airborne mean. It can be spread by coughing and sneezing. Essentially any exposure to bodily fluids which contain the virus. But airborne in that you can cat has it from just breathing in the same room, no.

I think there is no knowing for sure. Despite the naysayers there is something different about this outbreak as always before they burned themselves out and the death toll hit a quick peak and then dropped. I ask all do you think that any thing the ‘authorities’ they choose to tell you will be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Dirty bootheels clocking their way into the grave of the West." From the novel 'The Stand' by Stephen King

George Bush was fully on board with Agenda 21, which requires the invasion of third worlders to destroy the American way of life.

I’ve seen a medical study that made it pretty clear it is airborne. They had swine with ebola in the same room, different cages, from primates. The primates all caught the ebola with signs of airborne transmission (infected nasal passages and lungs). Also the primates were down wind from the swine in terms of the airflow. And I believe this was the deadly kind (there is a non deadly ebola in swine in the Phillipines) all of the animals were euthanized.

From some of the replies I say this is even true on FR.

If there is an outbreak here, the MSM will suppress information about it. It gets in the way of the “Open Borders” narrative.

If it was truly airborne and viable as such, there would already be 50 times as many dead and hundreds of times more infected.

Are you confident you're getting the whole truth? I certainly am not.

I believe very little of what anyone is reporting anymore...

Not quite. It’s produced by tobacco plants but it’s not nicotine. Apparently tobacco does a good job of snatching up DNA and spitting out results.

I’m skeptical too that it is airborne. Currently it is still spreading slowly but fairly consistently compared to stuff like flu... the number of cases is roughly doubling each month. 1,600 cases now, about 800 this time last month.

If it was airborne, that number would go up MUCH faster. However, in late 2012, it was shown that it could be transmitted airborne in the close-quarters conditions of a laboratory between animals.

Worse case scenario would be if a patient with another RNA virus like norovirus (with similar early symptoms) got put in with the ebola patients and the virus acquired some of the supercontagiousness of noroviruses...
