EBOLA WILL KILL US ALL

[PinkSocks]

Why are they flying infected aid workers back to America, they knew what they were getting into and frankly I think its selfish that they're putting everyone else at risk. There are already samples of it so they are flying them back for moral reasons because they feel sorry for them. Lets all remember this when they are the reason for millions of deaths.

Misconception number two. Quarantine doesn't always work. Look what happened to anthrax. Currently, Ebola can only be transmitted through bodily fluids HOWEVER it is not impossible for it to mutate, changing the way it is transmitted (coughing and becoming airborne). If this happens. WE ARE ******.

The conditions in West Africa are perfect for breeding disease, curing THIS disease will not change the conditions in which others thrive. There. Is. No. Point.

Lastly, I'm a germophobe and I hate disease so I just find the whole thing disgusting.

IM SCARED WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE ARGHGH GODDDD

it's not even being reported in much of africa because it's only occurring in a few places. it's not a big threat to them as, say, malaria is.

i don't think there's much to worry about as america can probably deal with it better than africa, hence why the missionaries are being flown back there for treatment

[IzzyUhh]

Thats so bad, it should be reported in majority of places!

Every year something new comes along thats is supposedly going to wipe out a large amount of the population.

Every year it turns out to be a big bunch of bull ****.

Well, considering after contracting the virus, the infected person can have no symptoms for up to 21 days.
The current survival rate is a mere 10%, and 30% if caught early on.
When the infected person reaches the internal and external haemorrhaging, all of their bodily fluids are infected. Projectile Vomiting and convulsions kinda reminds me of zombies you know. By then they're swinging around contaminating everything in their vicinity.
Also is importing to know, you should have your trusty Purell around. If you don't have that, then the CDC says a hand sanitizer with a 60% alcohol content.
So, with the many flights going on, one person simply vomiting, or even not washing their hands after using the wash room during a flight could contaminate many people.

I honestly would be very cautious. I will be making my runs to stock up on Purell, and a stop at the Hospital for some surgical masks if possible. Remember, it's never bad to be prepared for the worst.

I suggest you do your reading about this subject, it's only your life you need to worry about.

They've been warning about it over here on the news too. Pretty scary! I voted No because that's more likely to infect other people in the US and isn't really preventing the spread.
