It's not airborne so just make sure you don't exchange body fluids with anyone you don't know, and you should be fine.  Basically, don't be a HO! 4951

"Unlike even your run-of-the-mill flu virus, Ebola doesn't survive well
outside of the body. It could only spread through direct contact with
bodily fluids, usually blood or stool, which I don't know about you, but
I tend to avoid already. Ebola is also not contagious during its
incubation period, meaning you can only get sick from people who already
appear to be sick. Granted, the symptoms are vague and flu-like, but
the bottom line is as long as you avoid the wrong kind of contact with
someone who's ill, you're in the clear.That
Ebola can only be transmitted this way means the people most at risk
for contracting it are family members and caretakers of patients.
Indeed, a number of doctors and nurses in Africa have gotten sick from
caring for Ebola patients. In the U.S., however, we have the facilities
and equipment to protect healthcare workers, so bringing over two
patients poses minimal risk to everyone else." 4951

If not airborn  ( can't believe anything the CDC tells us) then tell me how you get it from a bird?  How do others like kids get it from others?  You can't tell me if someone sneezes on a surface that stays wet for hours can't  then infect another person that touches that then touches their face.  4951

You can catch it if someone sneezes? Fluid contact???......so who is to say in hot humid weather that it isn't airborne with the moisture in the air?????....I don't know what is true. But, It will come out as to how it is ultimately contracted. Thank goodness I'm not a germaphobe...or I'd be the person in Kroger with the shitbreather on like all the peeps in China afraid of Sars and zombiebirdflue!  4951

why bother talking about it if you don't believe the leading experts on the facts about the disease? without commonly agreed upon scientific facts, it's all just babble and blather. it is spread from  bodily fluids from persons in the active stages of the disease. and the reason it is being srpread in africa is the traditions  of the family washing and preparing the corpse for burial thus exposing the family to the liquids. in addition, families have been 'stealing' the corpses of their loved ones from the hospitals and morgues in order to administer their rites and traditions 4951

what does cnn have to do with the facts? read the cdc reports...and the serum administered contained antibodies against the disease which is how way back they began vaccinating against smallpox by using serums from people who had had  cowpox which is related to smallpox. it is logical then that they have pulled antibodies from those people who have survived the disease. 4951
