the winter's not over even on our east coast- maybe it'll freeze it- 

Well...the article uses the phrases "could be" and "may have". I guess we will see when his test results come back 

Indian Head man charged with impaired driving causing death

This headline was on the right side of the page with the first url. I think they should re-word it. I was picturing something very odd.

The Canadian man doesn't have Ebola, but he's still very sick and isolated in the hospital:

I hope the poor guy gets better

Me too. Even though he doesn't have Ebola, Ebola-like symptoms would be hell. 

Ebola ruled out in Canada

DNA analyses suggest Guinea is dealing with one of the most deadly forms of Ebola, called Zaire. That strain typically kills about 80 percent of the people infected. There's no treatment or vaccine for the virus.

Still though, outside of Guinea, there's little reason for concern. 

Ebola ruled out in Canada

GOOD 

Scary stuff and now we have two American's possibly being flown to the US. That is if they can make it long enough to even be transferred. It is a very sad situation. 

Ebola is not an airborn disease.

So it doesn't matter that Africa is being ravaged? 

Did you used to work for "The National Enquirer"?

Your post heading sounds like something I would see at check out at the HEB.

Ebola is not airborne as you state, but the infected patient/patients are.

Let's start a panic in Texas for excitement?

lol, i thought the same thing 

Ebola is not an airborn disease.

Needs to be stated again and again. 

It isn't? I heard on the news that it was. So...... Is it or isn't it? :-) 

Is it or isn't it?

It's not airborn.

Transmission is thru contact with bodily fluids. 

Hello TexasOma?

Anybody home? lol.....

Did you mistakenly push the add comment button? 

Well this sure isn't sensationalism.

A study was done placing an infected animal and a healthy animal in completely separate cages within the same room. The healthy animal soon had the disease.

Technically it is not an airborne disease...it can't live outside of liquid...but what is in the air? Moisture...water molecules. Ebola CAN be transferred via air this way. 

Oh crap... I think I have Ebola.... 😖 

it's not contagious, it's infectious- it doesn't spread from through the air- they've stressed this over and over- 

Just don't exchange spit with anyone. lol 

very good advise, honey!!! 

it doesn't spread from through the air- they've stressed this over and over-?


That just isn't true. It is very possible to transfer the disease through the air via water molecules.

I posted above the study where caged animals who made no physical contact with the infected animal whatsoever contracted the disease via the air.

Ignoring this possibility is dangerous especially if the disease keeps hopping borders. 

That just isn't true. It is very possible to transfer the disease through the air via water molecules.


exactly just another way for the CDC to try and prevent mass panic. They dont tell us the whole truth, heck they dont even tell you half the truth.

for example, remember the twin brothers years ago, one had aids the other didnt they just happened to use the others toothbrush and the healthy boy contracted HIV. This is after the CDC saying it dies when air hits it. 

I never heard it dies after the air hits it regarding HIV. I do recall not sharing bodily fluids, toothbrush would be included there... 

that's true, mutton- all of it-
