Far as I know, they don’t bleed into their lungs...
Only smooth muscle and tissues are affected...skin, gums, throat, intestines...other organs..
The lungs are totally different...and to my knowledge, not affected by any ebola strain with one exception and that is the reston strain, which only affects animals and is not dangerous to humans.
So it’s not respiratory...
Eyes? Victims bleed from their eyes.
So it’s not respiratory...
You say right after reminding us the Reston strain IS respiratory.
Depends on what the meaning of is, is, eh?
I'm sure the White House friend of ISIS will define IS in the most prudent and narrowest sense. Just like you, I'd bet my very life and the lives of everyone I hold dear, and the continued existence of the entire country on that.
Do some quick reading on how this virus works.
It attacks all organs. The lungs literally disintegrate.
You throat is part of both your G-I and respiratory tracts.
A cough or sneeze past Ebola caused bleeding smooth muscles in the throat aerosolize Ebola in the blood soaked particles propelled by that cough or sneeze. Ditto for vomit.
