THE nightmare scenario that the ebola virus could become airborne has been raised by the UN.
Authorities in Wales are already on alert for the symptoms of Ebola.
But with the disease spread only through bodily fluids like blood, currently, and it being almost entirely contained within Africa, the chances of an outbreak here have been low.
But that could change if the virus mutated to be able to be carried through the air, like the flu and the common cold.
It could also have devastating consequences in Africa where the outbreak is on a large scale already.
The United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative Anthony Banbury has warned the virus could become airborne....

please God have mercy and remove the UN from the entire planet.
Well, the evil side has openly declared they want the world population under 500 Million in perpetuity.
What better way than to create a bio-engineered virus that no one has an established immunity to?
Cough, cough. I’ve been thinking of ordering some surgical masks, just in case they become difficult items to find down the road. Any Freeper recommendations? Amazon is easy, but I’ll consider other vendors, and the gang might want to know.
They shoudn’t be hard to find—a tenth of the Chinese and Japanese you see on airplanes and on the street (in China) seem to be wearing them, although I don’t know if they’re of virus-droplet rejecting quality.
The UN is hoping.
“(in China) seem to be wearing them,”
I think they wear them to deal with the hellish air pollution in many large Chinese cities.
Only emergency sex and having the Presidential Suite at the InterContinental Hotel in Lagos can prevent a global pandemic...
I bought a load of N-95 mask a few years back for the H5N1 pandemic. They are suppose to be good for airborne viruses.
BTW, the more victims that are infected, the more likely a mutation to airborne is to occur.
Who knows. Writebol got infected, and I’m pretty sure she took extensive precautions. It may already be able to go airborne, but in a very limited sense. I also doubt that Ebola has as much coughing and sneezing as the flu or cold, so aerosol droplets containing the virus might simply be much rarer.
No, thats not possible. In fact, the chances of Ebola even making it to the US are almost nil. /s
That’s unpossible. Air pollution exists only in capitalist countries.
Stand a few feet away from a coughing Ebola patient and you will soon be convinced that Ebola can be airborne.
Pollution... that is true. And it is unbelievably bad. I was there in April/May, when it’s not as bad as in the summer. And it was B-A-D.
“That’s unpossible. Air pollution exists only in capitalist countries.”
I forgot :-).
Thanks. Is N-95 all the info I need to start looking, or can you tell me a bit more? Is the 95 a particle size designation?
Fear not. This congenital idiot says everything is great and there is no danger.
One can only hope that if there is an Ebola pandemic, he will be the first to succumb.
Un warns..........they have a stake in the new world order, quelling the herd of undesirables such as our selves. We are being set up
Q: Were you wearing PPE in your job, disinfecting doctors and nurses?
N.W.: No, I was wearing gloves and a disposable apron. There were times I had a mask on. I was behind a line where I did the disinfecting. They were on one side of a line and I was on the other side. I never crossed those lines. We just don’t even have a clue what happened.
