They may require he be cremated. I can’t imagine that a funeral home would take and prepare the body.
Except where the cemetery workers are on strike for higher pay, they are disposing of them 2 meters under ground. Even Africans know that much (let's just hope it doesn't get into the ground water).
Drudge SUCKS.
LOL ... the mods gonna get you
Freeze drying works but then it has to be sealed or it degrades with any residual moisture. Only some small portion reactivates if you humidify any freeze virus. I think freezing while wet works better for this virus if you want it active once you warm it back up.
I am STILL confused as to when, if someone is infected, they can SPREAD the disease to someone else? What is meant by "showing symptoms"? The first symptoms are severe headache, muscle pain and fatigue. Are they infectious at this point or do they have to be bleeding from their pores before they are infectious?.
Duncan - the Liberian Ebola patient announced dead... .
Personally I believe he died days ago - when it was reported by a Reuters report via an Israeli media source - which I posted... As I also said the authorities did not want to announce him dead until they had rounded up all that were exposed - which they did - the last hold out was a homeless guy who somehow was in one of the ambulance rides with Duncan but later disappeared ... The Texas Health Department issued a Health Warrant and in finding the guy they secured him in a lockup..
Notice the wording of the official announcement: “It is with profound sadness and heartfelt disappointment that we must inform you of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan this morning at 7:51 a.m.
“Inform you of the death this morning at 7:51 A.M.” - Not that he died at 7:51 A.M. - there is a difference.

Hey Laz, by the way, I spent most of yesterday trying to bring up your Jennifer Lawrence link. I ended up calling my internet carrier and they just sent me the pictures of her. But thanks for trying to get them to me.
Once they have the headache, muscle pain, etc, they are infected enough to infect others. At that point there is a lot of virus in the blood, but there is already some in the saliva transferred through the salivary gland. However there are also enzymes in saliva that kill the virus. I’m not sure how soon they can sweat out virus, but saliva shows virus early.
It’s a matter of degree. Mild symptoms, slight possibility of infecting someone else. Moderate, moderate. Bleeding from bodily orifices, pretty high. Nearing death, really bad. Recently deceased, you don’t want to be anywhere near it without a level 4 hazmat suit, spray it down with bleach and promptly cremate it.
I guess a good question to ask CDC Director Frieden is, would he be ok receiving a blood donation from an asymptomatic person who was known to have contacted a known Ebola patient?
For some reason I am having a hard time believing all this asymptomatic non transmission hype!
That would be a great question. He would lie and say ok. I remember it took a while to keep AIDS out of the blood supply.
If that were settled, there wouldn't be anyone entering the country from a location known to have an epidemic of a terribly infectious, deadly disease.
So, "Open Borders = Open Disease"
Liberals will say "Ellis Island they let in everybody, and blah, blah...."
They obviously never watched The Godfather
if not intentionally then at the very least by sheer incompetence.
Reverant Jesse just needed little time to amass racecard rent a mobs.
open borders is like playing russian roulette.
You may be right. Jesse maybe getting hisself a big ole case of it.
Interesting graph, thanks. It was essentially a third-world environment for 5 days inside that apartment.
