I can have more fun pointing out how stupid that guy is while I'm waiting for this fellow to show up with his research proposal.

I spent 2 summers ago near Vail,Colo. I met an illegal Mexican carpenter who was working on a project and was making $20/hr. That doesn't sound like the kind of work that Americans won't do. lol..He told me that he had paid a coyote $3500 to get him across the border back then. And the coyotes are forcing women to hide drugs in their private place in lieu of some of the cost of passage.
When was the last time you hired a carpenter?

You're going to have to speak a little louder, I can't hear you over kicking the guy's arse in this thread.

If EVD became more lethal/virulent it would decrease its ability to cause a widespread epidemic.
In large part, epidemiological characteristics are a function of contagiousness following infection but before symptoms appear. If the period asymptomatic contagiousness was unaltered or increased, the pathogen's predilection for spread would be unchanged or increased concomitantly.
For example, if the evolved virus demonstrated pulmonary involvement imitating a URI c/w sneezing/coughing, yet with only lowgrade initial symptoms, it could dramatically increase danger of spread.
You know that.

Clutch those pearls in anger.

Given the nature of transmission of EVD, you rarely if ever see contagion in an asymptomatic individual.
You just don't get a lot of non-sexual bodily fluid transfer among healthy individuals. Most if not all spread of infection with EVD comes after symptoms appear or post-death (e.g. a custom of kissing deceased family members on the lips may have led to increased spread in the 2014 Western African epidemic). Quicker mortality would give less time for spread, decreasing likelihood of large-scale epidemic in a population.
Not a likely mutation, as EVD is not airborne and the droplets become noninfectious incredibly quickly - especially in not severely ill individuals. We just don't see viruses jump transmission routes that frequently.
But you know that.

Let's send a few of them to stay with you then, snicker. The next batch they catch you get to live with four or five.
You'll say different here, but you'll be lying if the idea of Ebola transmission or something else doesn't enter your mind.

Wait . . .

You addressed another poster with a bullshite response to possible viral evolution.
Now you are addressing my response with a bullshite retreat from a future strain back to current viral characteristics? You thought that would fly? Really?
I'm happy to talk about either speculative future strains, the present patogen, or both. Just pick one. But don't try to meander to-and-fro. That might work with anti-science AGW audiences.
It won't work here.
Sorry.

as EVD is not airborne
Secondly, if EV is present in respiratory secretions and the host sneezes, thousands perhaps millions of viral particles are sent airborne for up to 20 ft. Considering Ebola infection (EVD) requires as few as 10 viri, RT-to-RT transmission without direct person to person contact is an obvious possibility.
Third, you've repeatedly attempted to confuse laypeople here with "airborne virus" vs "nonairborne virus" designations. Those designations notwithstanding, Ebola can be passed through the air between humans within a 15-20 ft radius.
Again, take your BS elsewhere. It won't pass muster here.

She got her posterior smeared all over my post string. Methinks I might have to visit the archives. You asked for this Madame Curie-Atl.
