But #5 states, "This includes a 10 day incubation period followed by a 22 day infectious period whereby the person could be infectious but not exhibit symptoms." This clearly goes against all the rhetoric right now regarding you are safe if the person doesn't have symptoms.

> #5... The 37-day estimate fits nicely with the 40-day quarantines carried out in Europe during the Black Death.

Black Plague is a 72-hours-and-out kind of killer, but Yersinia Pestis, which is known to cause the Plague today, was found in remains from medieval plague victims. Beats me why anyone would buy this obvious attempt to cash in on ebola.
