American Nurses are rightfully concerned about the lack of training, guidance and necessary personal gear and supplies to handle/treat suspected patients with Ebola.

Nurses stage Ebola ‘die-in’ on Las Vegas Strip.

““Tight quarters” is like, oh, lets say... AN AIRPLANE?”

Also, any mass transit systems like Bart, Buses, Vans and even Cabs.

Elevators, cubicles at work and any closed space with a recirculating heating/cooling system.

“This is following the same denial pattern of AIDS in the 1980’s. We were told at the time that AIDS was hard to get and it couldn’t be transmitted by casual contact. If we disagreed with that we were branded irrational homophobes.”

That bs was spread from AIDS centers like Gay Frisco, LA, NY City and the media controlled by Gays.

Lies! All lies! The CDC and obola told us it was near impossible to catch. Oh, wait, see my tagline.

Thanks, BA, I had not seen that.

Ebola Zaire, or a "divergent lineage" of the same. Nice. I believe that is considered the most virulent strain of Ebola.

There was actually a professional ‘discussion’ when the first sequencing paper came out in April. The first paper’s authors wanted to call it ebola guinea as they argued it was a new strain. Subsequent ‘discussions’ in the genomics of ebola put it back in the Zaire family. There may have been political reasons for that reclassification. And, the first guys may have wanted special accolades for having discovered a new strain. I can see arguments for both.

Nope. The guy flying into Nigeria vomited blood and killed the woman sitting next to him and some flight attendants who cleaned it up before they knew it was Ebola. The other 46 passengers were fine.

AIDS is hard to get. Ebola is much easier. Influenza is the easiest but fortunately less lethal.

Sawyer also killed the janitor at MMA when he cleaned up the vomit in the airport. Last I heard the janitor’s wife was quarantined but never heard anything further. She likely washed the contaminated uniform or clothes he wore.

What other animals can the virus spread to? I’ve read that it might have originated in bushmeat/African wildlife. Thinking about the vomit left on the ground and all the trash being generated from this, I wonder what animal, other then humans, it will show up in first. Rats? Mice? Etc...

Of course they worry....they worry because they LIE, AND are incompetent. Our BEST, and ONLY defense is to TRUST GOD...that we may be protected from it. Let us pray for God to heal our nation.....

Heavenly Father, PRAISE YOU, and GLORY be to YOU, and you ALONE. Lord, as your children in Christ...We come boldly before Your Throne to ask, Father, that you have mercy on us, and on America. That if it is Your Will, Lord, commence in removing from us, this ‘judgment’ called “Ebola”.

Father God, we ask that through your Mighty Spirit, to SHAKE the hearts of man, and move them to the understanding of what it means to “trust” Your Son...the TRUE meaning of FAITH. And Lord, we ask that You change the minds of those who are afflicted by Satan’s influence from succeeding in harming your Creation, and our nation. Father, gather together all who are yours, and in the Name of your Son, Jesus Christ, KEEP US together, and give us strength in the latter days as we seek to be under the shadow of your Wings. It is in Jesus Name we pray this. Amen.
