That means the disease is easily caught on a plane!
Suspend west African flights until this outbreak ends.
so, in other words...
Th CDC needs to have a new name more appropriate to the job they’re really doing. Maybe CSD center for spreading disease?
I’m sure other freepers can come up with a more clever name.
3 feet?
So, if you stay 3ft, .001 inches away from someone, you’re safe, according to the CDC.
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...
I knew this way before that.
Check out Myth Busters and their investigations into Sneezes and sprays.
Friedan and his whole crew are a bunch of obfuscating dissemblers who only dole out what THEY think you need to know. That ‘think’ is controlled by Obama and his lackeys.
puts paid to the “direct physical contact” lie that they have been peddling.
What if the carrier has both influenza and Ebola?
Wouldn’t there be a lot of transmission?
THE EXEMPT and the Moslem Impostor:
.......... “What difference does it make”?
You can’t catch Ebola from a bus!
Along those lines, one should not use a power-washer to clean up bodily fluids from someone with Ebola. Anyone who has used a power-washer knows that droplets splash up and land on everyone in the area. When will CDC put out guidelines for clean-up? My guess - not until someone in the US gets infected that way.
How can they even put a 3’ limit? So we should feel safe if someone with this disease sneezes on us from 4’? I think not.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
three feet..
youre closer when standing or stting next to Ebola people on a train or bus ...
Where did the America I grew up in go? Now its 50% lies and 50% ineptitude.
The CDC has known for many years that certain strains of Ebola can indeed be transmitted through the air.
Read “The Hot Zone”
The entire government is making decisions regarding Ebola to suit their political agenda, not to protect American citizens.
BTTT
Wonderful - just in time for the NY Marathon next weekend - all those runners coming in from plagued nations moving about the city at will, just great.
This whole discussion of “airborne” is bogus. My cat can go airborne if I toss him to you. Grab a bucket of bodily fluids...how far can you throw that? We’re talking about a virus that can only live in fluid...a sneeze droplet to this thing is the size of an ocean. Trace moisture in a surface (humidity over 50%) is a lake! So “duh” how do you define airborne. But they are confusing this fact with DRY spores that are truly airborne. The problem is politicians parading as know-all medical experts...same for the talking head “scientists” ...remember many believe in global warming. All I can say is if the only barrier between me and agonizing death from Ebola is de Blasio or Christie, then there is no viable barrier is there?
