I love how they say people only become contagious after they have symptoms... So it’s binary... Ether you’re contagious or you’re not at that magic threshold point...

Never mind the virus is replicating the entire time and you only show symptoms when it has replicated enough to cause them.

You’re body fluids still likely have the virus in them before it has replicated enough to take you down. I would guess it really maters what kind of contact you have before symptoms are present that matters...

FEDGOV not doing it’s job.

Protecting US citizens is out the window.

The degenerate bastards from both parties are running for the tall grass, all they care about is getting reelected and not doing or saying anything that would be considered politically incorrect and cost them their seats.

Time for the US military to step up and institute a provisional military government is at hand.

That just makes sense. It has to be in the body fluids to spread to other areas of the body that will show symptoms.

Which is why the time it takes an international airline flight to reach the U.S. is the perfect way to expose hundreds of people to ebola and bring them here to spread it.

Is ISIS (ISIL as obama says) in the White House?

Clearest, most understandable explanation I’ve read yet. You are CORRECT, they don’t know...but they’ll act like they do.

Thx for the post!

Absolutely correct.

Just last month a study was published that showed that a statistically significant portion of people who come down with Ebola do not display the ‘defining’ symptom of fever. The government has been saying that if you don’t have a fever you’re not contagious. Yeah, about that...

Also that symptomatic starts with feeling a bit off and waiting a day or so before “I need to see a doctor”.
It’s not instant “Ebola! [runs to hospital]”

I wish the news reports would say that it was ASSUMED that this is how and when it spreads and that this assumption led to the procedures and policies in place when these 2 workers contracted the disease - includinq the airline screeninq policies that let in patient zero who had the disease when he arrived here and has led to these other cases. And those policies are STILL lettinq in people who may have the disease and spread it to health workers and others - even thouqh those policies have failed in keepinq Americans safe.
