How did the Sheriff get in without touching the doorknob? (no one wore gloves or protective gear for the first day or so).
Did he lay the papers on a table? Ebola can live on a dry surface for 6 days.
Has the virus become aerosolized (thanks to the dear departed Mr. Duncan)?
We may never hear about the family members again. They may just disappear.
Perhaps some races are less likely to get certain diseases?
When is the MORON Judge gonna check his narrow ass in?
I hope that moron grows a brain before he dies

(I know redundant ... just can’t be said enough)
Anyone with even a minor knowledge of epidemiology, microbial and viral genetics understands that mutation of organisms and their transmission vectors is not predictable in any real fashion.
They’re a pack of liars, traitorous shits one and all.
Somehow I have a suspicion that the actual standard protocol in West Africa involves covering up body odor rather than cleansing. I am probably confusing West Africa with East Orange, though.
There was an article in the newspaper years ago that said that the people who survived the old plagues of Europe, had some kind of natural immunity to AIDs and they were being studied to see if a vaccine or cure could be found by studying their immune systems. Could be the same with Ebola?
Their offspring were being studied. Several generations later. It was northern European whites who seemed to be immune to AIDs.
The eustachian tube is not a mucous membrane and lies behind the tympanic membrane, also not a mucous membrane.

Northern Europeans who were immune to bubonic plague passed this immunity on to their offspring and they seem to be immune to AIDs. I am most likely immune to AIDs but I do not risk it anyway! Better to be safe than sorry.
Interesting read thanks for the links.
Not funny.
Point taken - it was an observation we both made. But it does appear (after more reading) that Ebola enters thru a mucus membrain.
The virus is not absorbed through unbroken skin regardless of what you’d like to imagine. If you have medical or scientific evidence to the contrary, not fantasies based on some anecdote, please present them.
But it definitely LEADS TO mucous membranes which is the way I should have phrased it.
I guess but short of a ruptured ear drum there is no way to contact it from the exterior
I wonder whether he’s quite so smug now.
Not meaning to be argumentative; it just seems to me the tube clearly is a potential path for infection. How often it would actually function that way I have no idea.
You are right. You have no idea
Talk about someone who may have a legitimate legal case. What were his superiors thinking!
