Honestly let's say hypothetically New York gets the unlucky plane. Infected guy walks down through town and he has some jungle killing Ebola in every cough. Not to mention the 100+ on the plane with him. How fast would it spread in the States? What PPE is required to improve your chances? From what I understand, as long as he didn't bleed on you or vomit or spew phlegm onto you or get his bodily fluids into you then you are going to be okay, as long as it has not mutated into an airborne spreadable disease. In the United States where we don't kiss the dead at funerals and things like that I think it would spread much less quickly as long as it did not mutate into an airborne agent. |

I'm not saying they have to completely give up the practice, just don't do it with people who've died from hemorrhagic fever. If Batu was bleeding from his nose, ears, eyes, and mouth, and his skin was sloughing off...don't touch him. Problem solved. Ebola doesn't appear to spread very easy. I doubt an outbreak in a western country would go far.

Quoted:
You guys ever heard of the Reston strain? It was airborne and managed to infect some humans, but they showed no clinical signs of infection because it was not harmful to humans. It was called Reston because it happened in Virginia. So I believe it's only a matter of time before a filovirus with a significant mortality rate becomes airborne... Absolutely false. It never infected any humans. We go through this every time we have an Ebola thread. "Six of the 178 people who had contact with the infected monkeys at the Reston Quarantine Unit seroconverted. All six of the individuals worked with the primates. None of the six who seroconverted developed a filovirus-related illness. Of them, four (all of whom were animal handlers at one quarantine facility) had serologic evidence of recent infection with Ebola-Reston. It is likely that one of the four infected himself when he cut his finger while performing a necropsy on an infected monkey. The mode of transmission for the other three handlers is not known. The remaining two people were seropositive at low titer and had evidence of past infection. One of these two people is a worker at a facility that temporarily houses nonhuman primates before delivery to U.S. quarantine facilities and had had regular contact with quarantined nonhuman primates for three years. The second person was an employee at Hazleton's Texas Primate Center." To all those saying that Ebola doesn't spread easily, that's true. Even then, it spreads easier than HIV. And look how far HIV has gone. |

I doubt an outbreak in a western country would go far. Concur. Supposedly there have been large animal die-offs associated with Ebola preceeding human outbreaks... Basically the theory is that it starts up, many, many animals are killed/infected and by the time human cases appear wide areas are are now part of the epidemic. In a western country like you said, this probably wouldn't help it spread much. I still like the science fiction/thrillers about it like Outbreak, Tom Clancy's book, etc but aerosalizing (word?) a disease would probably b e as complex as altering a human embryo to grow wings. |

The flu makes people cough because the virus in in the lungs, the mucous in the lungs contains the virus. Then you breath in the virus infected mucous. That is how flu spreads. If ebola were to infect the lungs and make people cough, it would be airborne too. |

It was called Reston because it happened in Virginia. So I believe it's only a matter of time before a filovirus with a significant mortality rate becomes airborne... There is only a limited amount of space inside a virus particle. Adding a gene requires the removal of another gene, often causing the resulting virus to become less pathogenic or even non-pathogenic. Which is probably why Reston virus does not cause clinical disease in humans; the mutation which allowed it to easily infect people also caused it to become harmless. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Ebola just isn't the bogyman they make it out to be. Stay away from bodily fluids, and you'll be fine. It can't get through your skin and is unstable outside the human body. If it wasn't for their funeral custom, that the family and friends wash and prepare the body of their dearly departed, there wouldn't be 337 dead. I'm not saying they have to completely give up the practice, just don't do it with people who've died from hemorrhagic fever. If Batu was bleeding from his nose, ears, eyes, and mouth, and his skin was sloughing off...don't touch him. Problem solved. Ebola doesn't appear to spread very easy. I doubt an outbreak in a western country would go far. Exactly. It's not particularly dangerous in a modern western country. |
