stupid too. Why not isolate the dog and get the valuable information on whether it’s readily transmitted to dogs. The only problem is, absence of Ebola doesn’t guarantee doggy immunity.
We already know that it is transmissable by dogs.
Read the stories coming out of Africa.
This was no knee-jerk unreasonable response.
This is rationality.
You cannot quarantine the dog and wait for symptoms. The dog will never show symptoms and will only be a carrier. This is a level 4 disease. Just holding him and testing him would be dangerous.
dogs are mmune. they can become carriers. that’s the concern.
unfortunately they didn’t wait and simply take’blood’from the dog every few’days while isolating him, and see if ebola virus was present.
