In an aircraft where air is recirculated, the virus is spread by bodily fluids, a few good sneezes should do it.

Do-gooders who want to go to Africa and potentially become infected should have to stay there under quarantine.

You KNOW they're coughing and spitting all over the pilots and medical personnel (who are all nude) and will be released into a packed stadium watching an NBA game!  

You guys know ebola is already in the US, right?  Do you think something this new and deadly wouldn't arouse the curiosity of the CDC and various medical experts who would then want to study it here and have, in fact, been studying it here for decades?

Yea right.

It is called denial.

Why do people insist its the most deadly?   The bad strain of smallpox has a similar rate of people dying and spreads far easier.

So how do you think 2 American doctors that know full well how this virus spreads and what precautions to take ended up getting this virus?

Do you think they were kissing dead ebola victims?
Bathing dead ebola victims?
Hiding ebola victims from authorities.
Not using equipment to not come in contact with body fluids?

Any of the other bullshit the media is telling us?

So tell us, how did these 2 American doctors contract ebola?


They got lazy and careless.



Or others working there got lazy, or careless, or improperly trained.

Think about a local breaking protocol,  spreading the virus where it shouldn't be. Mind you they aren't working with bedsheets to keep quarantine.

Bet the infected us doctors chance of survival quadruple being in a modern facility.

Studying it in a petri dish in a state of the art lab is one thing. Potentially exposing the plane, it's workers (pilots and everyone on down to the cleaners) to the virus in the US is another thing. Remember the infected doctors were supposed to be using all the safe protocols.

On who's orders was this done?
Because something with a potential 90% mortality rate in my backyard is something to be concerned about.

And yes I understand its the CDC we're talking about. Their recent....issues do make one worry about this getting out of hand.

yes, but it wasn't being transported around inside a live host and then placed inside a hospital that is publicly accessible. Smallpox only has a morbidity rate of around 35%, btw.

Depends on how you count the Reston "outbreak" - see The Hot Zone by Preston.

Then there's the Marburg outbreak in Germany, which is supposedly very similar to Ebola.

Lab accident in UK several years ago I think killed one person.

Might be missing some.

I gotta say that I have a lot of questions regarding these developments.   Such as who approved this idea to spread this plague around the world .  And why to a populated country.  Why not set up a medical unit on some island with no population.  Should we trust the .gov when they say , " we can handle it "?  Not based on previous .gov successes.



Since the show " the Walking Dead " is based in Atlanta.   We now may have a case of  Life imitating Art.  Not stumbling  Zombies but millions of panic citizens fleeing the infected areas.

And  so it begins.

As long as the appropriate protocols are followed, the risk is negligible. Ebola is not airborne, you have to transfer bodily fluids. Transporting two infected Americans, done properly, is no different than transporting vials of the disease itself, done properly.

If these Americans can get superior treatment here in a BSL-4 facility, I say we do it.
