Canada Health Covers Up Airborne Ebola Facts

[Scooter100]

Health Canada apparently changing the facts about the nature of the Ebola virus.

[Scooter100]

I was alerted about this by a Canadian friend.

Health Canada has altered previous facts about Ebola virus being airborne. In the following comparison, the left side is the original webpage several weeks ago, and on the right is today's altered posting.

Please read and compare what they apparently are trying to hide from Canadian citizens.

ebola could... then.... be very easily "weaponized,,,''?

[rainee]

Good catch..someone posted something similar that the CDC did a few days ago. I can’t find the post.

Looks like we are gonna need a smaller cart, eh?

Oh, wait you hoser, look like the cart will need to be aboot twice as big, eh?

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

It is not airborne:

Transmission

Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.

Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.

Yes Mr. GG2 showed me this last night. What the CDC etc wants to convince us of is that Ebola is really hard to cathch. Not true.

In my world airborne means somebody coughs or sneezes and the particles fly 3 ft out and land on someone next to you and they inhale the particles. So basically you can catch Ebola in the same exact way you catch the seasonal flu or upper respiratory bug.

The reason people are catching Eboa in taxi cabs is because the virus sticks to the seats, door handles etc and people touch it then put their hands to face, nose eyes etc and come down with it. This is another way you catch the seasonal flu and we all know how infectious that is.

Bottom line our government is committing a criminal act by not stopping the flights coming in from Liberia. They have ordered 160,000 hazmat suits for some reason just like they have ordered 1.5 billion rounds of ammon and 500,000 plastic coffins.

Any thoughtful person would conclude that stopping the flights from a plague ridden country is a good idea.

Maybe Canada has genetically modified Eb0la?

[Scooter100]

So in the last two weeks, the govt of Canada did a 180 on airborne Ebola? On what data?

Study the two Canada Health versions for yourself....

“INFECTIOUS DOSE: 1 - 10 aerosolized organisms are sufficient to cause infection in humans (21).”

[NorthstarMom]

Exactly, they make it sound like you would have to slip and fall in a puddle of blood to catch it. A person in the early stages of symptons sneezes on their grocery cart handle, you put your toddler in the cart within a couple of hours. They are constantly putting their fingers in their mouth, nose, eyes, etc. And then you have a parent’s worst nightmare.

[Patriot Babe]

How long can the virus survive outside the body expose to sun and air? I am thinking of the ebola patient who vomited outside the aspartment.

[Scooter100]

"INFECTIOUS DOSE: 1 - 10 aerosolized organisms are sufficient to cause infection in humans (21)."

I wonder how many "aerosolized organisms" are in a decent sized sneeze from the seat next to you on an airliner?????

Thanks for the helping hand! I’m a little shaky on attachments.

[Scooter100]

Interesting about the dates of the quoted references. It looks like the WayBack "primates" reference (1997) was superceded by the more up to date "Humans" reference in 2001. Same group of researchers...changed their minds, I guess.

So, to reduce the scare factor, they went to an earlier quote.

Presumably once the vomit dries the virus dies, but that could take days.
