You heard it here on FR first.

I was one of the first on FR to make the point about transmission by aerosols.

This article is additional confirmation.

Oh please. Planning doesn’t make something true. Every single non-airborne virus is studied for the possibility of it going airborne.

Ridiculous fear-mongering.

[Lazamataz]

Even worse than airborne Ebola is short-range-teleporting Ebola.

It teleports right through walls.

[Polynikes]

I've said it before and I'll say it again TPTB (CDC) is parsing words regarding the definition of airborne.

The general public regards anything in the air as airborne while the CDC publicly denies it as it it doesn't fit the medical definition of airborne.

For all practical purposes this thing sure acts as its airborne and should be treated as such within its somewhat limited range.

You heard it here on FR first.

FR's very own poop-pooer ex-spurts will be here to deny it in...

Wait. What? They're here already???

The NSA must be giving the disease deniers a direct feed!

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

These morons. Anyone with marginal reasoning capabilities figgered this out long ago, that coughing, breathing hard (during workouts, heavy physical exercise) etc., can eject this into the air for short distances.

[Falcon4.0]

Obama is handling this like he handled Benghazi.
Do nothing and hope it doesn't get worse.

“I was one of the first on FR to make the point about transmission by aerosols.”

But who was the first to predict that it’s due to global warming?

[heartwood]

You want aerosol? Just flush an Ebola patient’s vomit and diarrhea down a high-pressure hospital toilet with no lid.

I hope they have sense enough to pour in a quart of bleach, bleach-spray the bowl, and wait ten minutes before they flush, gross as it is. Of course the patient may be spewing every five minutes.

And I hope Ebola virus doesn’t survive municipal sewage treatment.

This article is additional confirmation that some sensationalist journalists are still taking advantage of the fact that some people do not understand the difference between airborne (indirect) and droplet (direct) transmission. Such sensationalism sells news, but it misinforms people.

Efforts to educate people on how Ebola really spreads—through direct contact with infected bodily fluids—are making some progress. I just heard a poll last week that showed that 25% of people still do not understand how Ebola spreads, down from 37% in a previous poll.

The report says the government is seeking technologies for the “rapid disinfection” of Ebola, including an aerosol version of the virus.

Gee....I wonder if they’re “seeking technologies” from the PRIVATE sector. Who DOES build solutions and treatments, like that.

Congrats on being a contributor to the “You heard it on FR, first” club. That’s what makes this place to great.
