There are NO absolutes. What they know about this virus changes hourly.

Researchers at the university just advised the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that “scientific and epidemiologic evidence” now exists that proves Ebola has the potential to be transmitted via exhaled breath and “infectious aerosol particles.”<<<

i'm sorry that i'm trying to point out calmly that all this hysteria is, frankly, unwarranted.
but, by all means, have at it.

4000 deaths with estimates of 10000 by the end of the month because, ya know, the WHO has it all figured out.

It's not hysteria when they are all backtracking on their initial summations. 3 hours ago CIDRAP confirmed it can be spread through the air, but just not where you are. You're fine.

oh, wow. yeah, that's a huge mess, 4k deaths.
compared to malaria in 2012 that killed 600,000. or the typical month in american car crashes that kills that many.
and yes, i am fine. i don't work in the health care field with people with ebola, and haven't been to africa-and won't be.
the thing that gets me most, are the people saying this is all a conspiracy to kill off a bunch of people-they sure picked the wrong way to do it. other ways are much quicker and take out a lot more people. but let's not let all that get in the way of a conspiracy theory-cause they're really much more fun.


'so far none of the family or friends of Thomas Eric Duncan –- the first patient to die of Ebola in the U.S. –- have become ill. With their 21-day quarantine period almost at an end, it doesn't appear the virus had a chance to spread, he said.

"This is a terribly important lesson that virus is not going to run rampant in Dallas or anywhere else in the U.S.," Schaffner said. "Let's not forget that we've done some things right."'

oh, how boring....

I'd love to see the President, his entire family and all of congress step up and visit each of these Ebola patients sans mask to show the public how the virus can't be passed w/o physical contact.

Look at them all superior and smug. Then they talk about watching a couple of COMEDIANS on television so they can get their news.

Can't collapse fast enough. Cull the idiot herd.

i'd be more worried about the flu, or a car accident-both of which hit far more people every day than ebola does. and i don't worry about them either.

'Unless you exchange or come in contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person, you are not at risk for Ebola. This infection results from close contact with a patient who is at a late stage in the disease.'

you cannot get it from casual contact. i haven't been to africa, neither has my spouse. we aren't in the health care field.

CDC finally reveals truth by saying it knows little about how Ebola is spread

Under questioning from Congress on how two Dallas nurses contracted Ebola, Tom Frieden of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, ‘While we do not yet know exactly how these transmissions occurred ….’ Right there, at last, Frieden said what he should have been saying all along, that he and everybody else only knew what they thought they knew about Ebola.

It's a shame they don't realize we have a resident expert right here on DT. Oh - but Malaria is worser, so just move along...

you know what? fucI< you.
i come here for conversation, not bullsh!t snide remarks like this. it's a goddamn shame people can't come here and give their opinion without condescending bullshit like this. so, go **** yourself.
i've put some of the other assholes on here on ignore, rather than deal with them...but i'm sick of all this. i'm tired of taking the high ground and just sucking it up and saying nothing, because it doesn't make anything better.
you can kiss my ass, rude boy. your name fits. so, go buddy up with coach and dell, and call names all you wish. have at it.

This is nothing for him or her, or whatever it is. Read some of its horse posts, its most comical when it tries to discuss sports.
