Is Ebola airborne? Virus could evolve to become transmitted through air...
Christian Today ^ | October 12, 2014 | Janna Dela Cruz

World Heath Organization (WHO) and other health officials debunked the news that the Ebola virus can be acquired through air.

Abc.net posted WHO's explanation about the virus alongside an extensive list of ways one can acquire the disease.

"Airborne spread among humans implies inhalation of an infectious dose of virus from a suspended cloud of small dried droplets," it says. "This mode of transmission has not been observed during extensive studies of the Ebola virus over several decades."

Furthermore, Dr. Edward Goodman of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas guaranteed that the virus is in no way airborne.

"Ebola is not transmitted by the air. It is not an airborne infection," he said....

Evolve, mutate, chaos theory (nature breaking free). Any of these ring a bell?

Ebola can be transmitted in an aerosolized form where the virus mixed with body fluids are broken up into airborne particles from cough or splash that can be inhaled or ingested to transmit the disease

I’ve read that such a mutation has never happened in known medical history.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

I’m much more concerned about Enterovirus D68, which is airborne, with cases present in 45 states.

Ebola Reston was an airborne variant that just happened to be non-lethal to humans. Look it up.

It's a very real possibility that an airborne variant could eventually become dangerous to humans.

With some of the odd ways some people, such as the NBC cameraman, have become infected, the possibility of an airborne version of Ebola that is dangerous to humans, is becoming more of a probability.

And since our Government is FAR more worried about keeping the rules of political correctness intact, then protecting the American people, we're pretty much screwed if a version of Ebola Zaire or Marburg goes airborne.

“Is Ebola airborne? “

Not unless you sneeze or barf on a person.

I really wish doom porn types would stop with the virus mutation thing, like this is a sci-fi movie.

Ebola has been airborne for several months, on Brussels Airlines, United, and several other international air carriers.

“Ebola has been airborne for several months, on Brussels Airlines, United, and several other international air carriers.”

That’s “air mobile.” The difference between the 101st and 82nd Divisions.

This link was given me

The Ebola vaccine is likely the trigger for the coming Ebola plague. He suspects that the 1,600 US Army troops who were recently sent to West Africa will be vaccinated which will have a trigger.

I have known about UN Agenda 21, depopulation since 2002.
I have some medical training. I am in touch with a former US govt employee whistle blower and some other people with knowldge.
Govt in the past has tested vaccines on our troops - to their harm. they are gonna vaccinate our troops going to WAfrica with a vax with a trigger to go off after they are home - and spread ebola in USA.
Nothing’d surprise me

And it might snow in the Death Valley.

No. It is not airborne. If it were you’d see THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS infected in the U.S. alone adding thousands more each day. As it is, it is less than 10.

Regardless of what the CDC butt kissers say, it has been shown to have that potential via the 2012 Canadian pig to Macaque study.Since sputum does carry the virus then any bodily fluids from an Obola patient would be a potential source.
