This is what confuses me. The doctors tell us that we're fine and that it's not easily transmitted. You have to be in contact with their bodily fluids AND they have to be symptomatic.
I'm convinced that doctors are in panic-control mode right now. They're waiting and seeing what ends up happening with all this. They don't want to sound the alarm if they don't have to.
Doctors and others helping in Africa aren't catching this shite while wearing full body suits and gas masks if it's hard to catch. I'm not there but I'm pretty certain they're not licking all the victims' open wounds or vomit or anything. If they're catching it with all the protective gear they're wearing, then it's easily transferred.

We don't even know if this person actually had contact, could be a nut job. Either way its incredibly irresponsible.

One person in a country of 300m+ has ebola, and now it MAY HAVE DOUBLED
Why wouldn't they be scared

Holy shite! According to the article, it looks like the ambulance picked this person up at a CareNow clinic 
.
Hmmm, I think I may have ebola, let me go to a fricking urgent care.

My job exposes me to AT LEAST 800 people every single week. Many of them are shaking hands with me. If I had Ebola, God fricking help us all because tons of people are going to contract it, infecting others as well. Your comment proves how fricking ignorant you really are. Go back to studying for midterms.

which makes me wonder if this dude is some psych patient.

you aren't shaking hands with 800 people if you have ebola

Did I really hear somewhere that a symptom of Ebola is bleeding from the eyes? Seems like I read that somewhere but I'm not sure.

Or he's just uneducated/ignorant. I'm sure there are people who don't know what an Urgent Care is limited to treating.

I don't know. Probably more of a cultural thing.

I think you just bleed. I don't know. I'm not a doctor. I saw a picture and the dude looked like he was bleeding all over his throat, teeth, whatever. I never want to see that shite again.

I think you read that in The Hot Zone by Preston.

That's not my point, although you're right
My point is that if I have it and don't know it, why would I do anything to help keep it to a minimum? Anyone can be infecting tons of people with whatever illness they have both before and after symptoms begin.

If you are from Liberia it probably looks like a world class medical research center.

Ebola isn't contagious when you are asymptomatic.

Man, frick this guy who brought that shite here.

At first it’s not bad, little nausea, some sweating, diarrhea, much like a stomach bug. But then the virus really starts to build up in your liver and adrenal glands, after it has saturated your blood cells, the lining of your vessel, your skin, and bones. Hepatocellular necrosis occurs, which is fancy term for your liver starts to decompose.Your liver is what regulates blood clotting. This causes your blood either clot up and turn to jelly in your veins, stay liquid and bleed profusely, or a combo of both. The adrenal glands then do the same, causing your blood pressure to drop. This requires lots of IV fluids to keep your circulating volume up. At the same time inflammatory cytokines are released which causes vascular leakage. Cells don’t do a good job of holding things together so it all becomes a bloody goop. Anywhere in your body that blood vessels are shallow, like your nose, ears, gums, throat, GI tract, urethra, vagina, rectum, all start oozing fluids and bleeding because the tissues that normally keep it contained are disintegrating. So now you bleed from every orifice, including your eyeballs.
