¡EBOLA!

[eddysnake]

Ebola is upon us, thanks Texas.

[Idoit40fans]

This is the end. I hope the rapture was late. I need to get out of here.

Honestly, if I was betting I would have said Florida.

I've long held the belief that the insane population growth of the planet would eventually be stemmed by a horrible virus.

I hope this isn't the one.

A LOBE

[Grunthy]

all easily preventable if they would just quarantine those traveling from those countries for 42 days...

[viva la ben]

Can we seal off texas for a month now?

[columbia]

Can we seal off texas permanently?

[Gaucho]

Ebo-li, ebo-la, life goes on bra

la la how the life goes on

[llipgh2]

Meh, it was only a matter of time.

[DelPen]

I don't understand how they can say no one on the plane is in danger. When did he contract it? How many days is it from contact to infection to symptoms? They won't answer if he's a US citizen just he's here visiting relatives. Why won't they say where he's from?

[viva la ben]

Ebola is spread through bodily fluids right?

Yes.

[canaan]

So this thread isn't about a sweet british bowling app? Crud.

He flew in from Liberia.

He exhibited no symptoms until 4 days after arrival. Apparently when symptoms show the virus is at its' contagious stage.

Contact with bodily fluid is how it's spread. Slim chance of that on the plane. His relatives are at greater risk.

[DelPen]

So when did he contract it? Its perfectly plausible to have exchange of body fluids on a plane. Is small, you wipe your nose, wipe your hand on a surface that someone touches and then wipes their nose. Fluids spread.

Isn't it possible someone contagious was on the plane and this guy caught it from him along with some other people?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Its possible but highly unlikely

The CDC is saying he caught it in Liberia.

It spread rapidly in Africa because of poor sanitary conditions, poor access to clean drinking water, and mistrust of the medical staffs. I don't know if a miniscule drop of snot is enough to infect a person.

Frankly, I'm not going to worry about something I may or may not get.

[viva la ben]

liberia's capital city of monrovia is being decimated by ebola because the years of civil war destroyed the infrastructure and there are open sewers everywhere.

[PensFanInDC]

My main concern is that the more time Ebola spends here, in a nation with first world sanitation, the faster it will adapt to spread more efficiently. I'm not sure how fast that can happen though.
