re: Facts from Peer Reviewed Medical articles about Ebola

I hope that made sense, its a VERY easy disease for us to defeat. We may have a case here, 2 there, 1 here for the next few months but thats really all that will happen.

We have no idea how many people in this country have been exposed to the infected people showing symptoms.

---

Fever was defined as a body temperature above 38°C; however, in practice, health care workers at the district level often do not have a medical thermometer and simply ask whether the person’s body temperature is more elevated than usual.

Not anymore....which is just one more reason that the R0 is headed towards 0 in the US.

bullshite! Pretty much anyone that has been in contact with the infected people know they were in contact with them. The ones that exchanged bodily fluids with them, or were close enough to, for damn sure know and they all would come forward for treatment rather than die.

Even if we got one person, or 10, that didn't it wouldn't matter because when they showed up to the hospital with symptoms we have TWO WEEKS to quarantine anyone they were in close contact, like exchange bodily fluids close. Dude try to forget what FB has told you and read up on it.

Again, unless she was exchanging bodily fluids with them it DOES NOT MATTER.

Those fluids can be exchanged without intimate or even direct contact, so it actually does matter. Is it a huge risk? Probably not, but we will see.

Well this is just what I'm talking about. Passengers on a Delta flight from San Francisco to Tampa are trying to find out where a certain passenger of African descent throwing up all over the back of the plane was from. He was breathing heavily, sweating profusely and when asked by the passengers what was his native country he would not say. The passengers on the plane cannot get that info out if Delta. Was he from W Africa?

Google Delta Flight 1760 from San Fran to Tampa

It doesn't matter. If he does have Ebola and was symptomatic they would know for certain within one day. IF he was the government would have 2 weeks to find the people who were near him on the plane and monitor/quarantine them, with a flight manifest the government WOULD find them all in 1-2 days at most, thank you NSA and big brother. They actually would probably go overboard and quarantine everyone on the plane if he truly was as sick as you say. Anyone the passengers would have come into contact with wouldn't matter since they wouldn't be contagious for at least another 10 days.

The single most important thing to understand is the fact it takes 2 weeks to become symptomatic and that you are not contagious until you are symptomatic. If this is making ANY sense to you guys you should be feeling better about this Ebola scare.

Incubation is 2-21 days. The initial generic febrile state can last 5 days before the person starts to become really sick. Human nature includes denial and complacency, so there is ample opportunity for people who should know better to frick up and not take the shite seriously. Example: Amber Vinson and her CDC "advisors". As a health care worker, she was presumably among the best of the general public WRT understanding that any symptoms expressed during the incubation period are presumptive Ebola. Yet apparently she didn't understand that and went ahead to take two flights. Unbelievable.

That irresponsible and could possibly get a HANDFUL of people sick at most but again there is no concern for any kind of any substantial outbreak. One of my good friends has been directing and producing an Ebola/Marburg documentary since 2008, he just landed in Nigeria yesterday, and he isn't worried. He has spoken to literally all of the worlds top Ebola docs and he isn't worried about it in the US, he is worried about it in Africa though. They aren't worried it will kill tens of millions over there but tens of thousands, sure. We have had VERY long discussions about it and basically all I know about it came from him and watching his interviews with these top doctors. If they aren't worried about the US I am not going to worry.

This has NOTHING to do with the administration, they have handled it well. The problem is the media blowing it out of proportion and the American people who don't do any research on Ebola and how it works.

---

The CDC has handled this like dog crap, and they have admitted as much. Don't try to say otherwise.

I don't think this will ever be much of anything because of the nature of transmission of the disease and its epidemiology, but to say that it was handled well by the government is farcical.

What would you have them do, spend a billion dollars to save a handful of lives? This is actually one of the more reasonable things they have done but most of the same people who shite on Odummy for wasting $ are shitting on him now for not spending $. I 100% guarantee that if he had implemented travel bans, airport checks, increased hospital training etc and spent a billion dollars, which IT WOULD cost this administration, everyone would be bitching about that when Ebola turns out to be nothing.

We all want less government and ask for it daily so don't bitch the one time they give it to us.
