That would make sense if I had said that. However I didnt. There is no way that woman should have been allowed to get on that plane. If she had a wedding coming up she should have known to not to be involved.That doesnt make the disease airborne though. Running around like chicken little claiming it airborne when its not will only cause panic. We have enough conspiracy theories going around as it is.The cold mutates too. Several times in a season I believe. The point is that its something we need to be concerned about but we dont need to panic people. Putting out bad information can get people killed.Dr. Jahrling, who has worked with ebola for decades, says that airborne is generally less infectious anyway. He says what is frightening is that the virus appears to have mutated to carry a heavier viral load.
The point is, it mutates. It's exceedingly virulent, it's exceedingly deadly. He is guarded but thinks it will sink back down into the animal population again (as it has in the past, this is what I think as well). If it doesn't mutate into something else. Which it can. But he knows it can do a lot of damage before it does.
BTW, it always comes from the animal population and he says it's coming from several different routes.
Well, saying "nothing to see here move along" has gotten two nurses sick so far. How many more do you want to see get infected? I'm not afraid or hysterical but I do read and what I have read says that these viruses are very powerful and need to be dealt with in a very particular way. The powers that be haven't been doing that.
