Obama is trying to spread Ebola in the United states because that’s what radical Muslims do.

1. True

2. Very true

3. Positively true, how many freakin’ examples do people need? What does this guy gotta do to get impeached?

I took the quiz, and failed on multiple questions, but some are convoluted and I think incorrect. It asks, ‘ the virus can only be passed when you are displaying the symptoms’, or something to that effect. They say that is true. Shortly thereafter it claims you should wear condoms for 3 months after you’ve gotten better! Makes no sense.

They also contend that the flu is a greater danger than Ebola. That remains to be seen, but I know I’d rather have the flu.

#2 You can catch obolo from sitting next to someone on a plane.

Your Answer: True
Correct Answer: False

Not unless the person had symptoms and you had direct contact with their bodily fluids. You can’t get it just by breathing the same air.

My teachers from years ago owe me a lot of points. If it is only false if you make assumptions, then, according to my teachers, it is true.

RE: Their question number 5 negates their answer in question number 2.

__________________________________________

Question Number 5 answer states thusly:

Most people who get better can’t spread the virus anymore, but Ebola can stay in semen for up to 3 months, although it’s rare. Men who’ve had the disease should use condoms for 3 months or not have sex. Likewise, women should not breast-feed during that time, in case it’s in their breast milk.

Question Number 2 answer explains it by saying:

You cannot catch Ebola by sitting next to someone on a place. Not unless the person had symptoms and you had direct contact with their bodily fluids. You can’t get it just by breathing the same air. The virus doesn’t spread through air or by water. You can also get it from contaminated needles, sheets, and other objects. To infect you, the virus has to go into your body, such as an infected person sneezing in your face.

I got 8-12 right, but these answers are with the "science" they have now.

One of the answers that says ebola can live for 6 days away from it's host is alarming.

Not to mention the fact that they contradicted themselves. They said you cannot get Ebola except through the exchange of bodily fluids, then on another question they say it can live outside the body for 6 days. Oh gee whiz, only 6 days. So if I got the virus on my spoon and put it in my mouth I guess I won’t get Ebola because it can only be exchanged through bodily fluids.

Question 2 answer is wrong, and I note they even clarify their “no” in the responses, and Question 12 asks for an opinion.

I quit after told me that “You can contract ebola from sitting near a infected individual” was false. Apparently the idiots who wrote the quiz never heard of coughing or sneezing or other nice ways of aerosoling bodily fluids.

CDC defines “close contact” as within one meter. You can’t get a meter away from anyone on a plane.

Wow, their one question is “Men who recover from Ebola should do this for 3 months”

Correct Answer: “Wear Condoms”

Really?? Just continue on having sex after supposedly being cured of it, and condoms will make everything A OK.

Insane!

I must have gotten the question number wrong, or they are mixing them up.
