What happens if this becomes infected?

Posted on 10/15/2014 9:14:56 PM PDT by djf

There is something that many of us deal with everyday... it is so widespread, so trusted, that no one even thinks about it.

And one can wonder if 21 days is a hard fact or a sort-of best guess. I suspect it's a best guess, and that what can be infected/affected is at least questionable.

So what happens if this becomes infected? A one dollar bill?

Squirrels, bats, rats, deer... great hosts for the virus.

Someone with contaminated hands using the hand rail of an airport escalator seems more probable.

How about people trying to use debit/credit cards having to answer ‘do you want to donate to breast cancer’ ‘do you want cash back’ ‘do you know your pin’ ‘what is it’ ‘please re-swipe card’ ‘press yes or no’ ‘is the amount you agree to’ ‘press yes now’?

That’s a whole lot more touches than cash.

I had read that.

Something like 70% of people die in their sleep.

Not sure if it appeals to me to wake up dead some day...

:-)

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. - Rev.13:16-18

If the Ebola - Obola Virus sticks to Ballots and Voting Machines, Obama will have a reason to cancel the 2014 Election.

For anyone worrying about the Ebola virus, the possibility of passing on in one’s sleep might help to ease an anxious mind from the fact that our sheets and pillowcases are quite likely teeming with biting, crawling lice, mites and cooties, especially in motels.

He doesn’t want this. It will decimate his executive amnesty orders already in place. The Obama regime is not in charge.

Two weeks ago he said it would NOT be here. His arrogance shines for all to see.

The Mombasa MF requires a new vocabulary.

His arrogance shines for all to see.

The new word is

IGNARROGANCE

Of course "STUPARROGANCE" is also a possibility.

fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, mites, bacteria...we don’t know. there are many unknowns and lots of bad information out there. MSNBC, for example, is still reporting that Ebola isn’t airborne transmissable. The center of infectious disease research and policy has stated otherwise.

OK Mr. Monk - calm down and use your brain. Keep the dollar bill out of your mouth and wash your hands before you eat like you are supposed to.

What if you sleep with a girl that’s HIV positive or has Herpes? Who care’s enough to ponder that right now, she’s hot.

What if the HVAC guy comes over and touches your door knob?

You die and get to see Jesus earlier.

Get to confession!

Probabluy worse than paper money.

How many infected fingers have pushed those buttons at the ATM and pretty much any retail store, gas pump or kiosk?

You mean, like meat processors, butchers, packagers, shippers, truckers, grocery store stockers......

Definitely worse. The paper absorbs liquid and the virus dies, simple as that. Unless you always get soggy money at the store

OTOH a hard surface like an ATM button can hold a droplet for hours as long as it doesn't dry up. Ebola virus can be freeze-dried, but only with special equipment to dry it and special conditions to reconstitute it.
