You are still more likely to die from malaria. Since the Ebola outbreak began in February, around 300,000 people have died from malaria, while tuberculosis has likely claimed over 600,000 lives. Ebola might have our attention, but it’s not even close to being the biggest problem in Africa right now.200,000 people a year are hospitalized with influenza and 36,000 will die.Do you understand anything at all about Ebola? People aren't flocking to their apartment
Ebola Scare Turns Dallas Hospital Into a Ghost Town - ABC News
With all love and admiration my friend, are you trying to say that mass hysteria is evidence?
Trying to say that people tend to run FROM a level IV Slate Cleaner. Moreover, Obama is either a total incompetent or a bioterrorist.
What would his response have been if a TeaParty guy had a vial of Ebola in Dallas? Hmm? Same? Hmmm?
stop misrepresenting what people are saying. then think. what is the death toll from the flu every year? do we shut down airlines because of the flu? you hear the word ebola and it's scary. and you are allowing hysteria on the part of those least knowledgeable, to create mass hysteria.
it's absurd.
Irrelevant to Ebola and this thread. Two years ago in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ghana, you were more likely to die if malaria than Ebola. Those are worthless statistics.
Duncan's flight came from Belgium.Why I'm not worried in the short term, but am worried about the medium to long term.
- It appears to me that Ebola is deadly mostly to people who already have compromised immune systems (poor people with inadequate hygiene). (Side note: HIV/Aids is similar in that those most at risk already have damaged immune systems.) The survivors in the U.S. have had plenty of clean hydration and were relatively healthy to begin with. As long as Ebola doesn't mutate into a true airborne virus, the risk to most people will remain very small.
- Despite the above, I'm very worried that our Incompetent and Arrogant Government will make things far, far worse than they would have been if we'd banned flights from the Ebola areas, if the CDC has stayed true to its actual mission, if the FDA weren't functioning as an innovation prevention center, and if we had invested in the regional centers to fight Ebola in the areas of origin.
- Viruses do mutate, and the less we contain Ebola now, the more opportunities it will have to mutate. A Pandemic is not out of the realm of possibilities.
Republicans are infected to that degree?We're still not sure what the animal carrier is in Africa, maybe bats. What would happen if rats carried it in the USA?
Glad to see you admit that other than the Dallas hospital, we are doing a good job.Republicans are infected to that degree?We're still not sure what the animal carrier is in Africa, maybe bats. What would happen if rats carried it in the USA?
Glad to see you're able to make light of it. You have to be a special kind of fucking stupid for that
The reason sane people handled Ebola in Level IV facilities was both for prevention from getting the infection AND from keeping the virus from finding a suitable host outside of the lab.

Stop with the panic, it's ridiculous.
If you want to spend a bazillion dollars on something that isn't very contagious and hasn't killed any Americans lobby to raise taxes and do it! I started a thread about it. We could put medical hazmat teams in every hospital, clinic, and airport and build specially equipped isolation units. No one seemed interested.Glad to see you admit that other than the Dallas hospital, we are doing a good job.Republicans are infected to that degree?We're still not sure what the animal carrier is in Africa, maybe bats.

Why do we even have a Department of Homeland Security and a TSA?
I can't get on the plane with a screwdriver but someone infected with a Level IV pathogen is free to board a plane and roam around Dallas

You're smarter than that. The ban would apply to travelers who originate from Ebola countries.

And how about Nigeria?
Has it occurred to you that predfan is just in agreement with folks thinking more rationally than you unhinged rightwingers?However, it should give you pause when you get morons who continuously say the common flu is a bigger concern than Ebola. They, are giving you agreements.
See previous post.The question you asked me, was answered I told you to read what the IDIOT FAUN wrote. That is who I was calling IDIOT.

go volunteer to treat ebola patients and confirm that it is not contagiousNo one Duncan lived with, rode with, or interacted with aside from two caregivers have become ill.
