I read/listen to NPR to know what the enemy is thinking.

My brother does and takes it as fact. I just dont get why. He has had a political inversion since he turned me on to Rush Limbaugh back in the early 90s. I try to stay off of politics when I see him. It is infuriating.

"Ebola is not an easily transmissible virus. It requires direct contact with bodily fluids. It doesn't travel on the respiratory route."
And yet trained medical personnel wearing isolation suits have caught it.

This conflicts with other reports that say Ebola has been transferred via aerosolization.
To: Resettozero
Yes, it does conflict. May be several years till we understand what the true path is...

The radical left likes these diseases. It thins the herd (which is good for the environment) and creates chaos so that gov can fill the void.

2 predictions.
1 - 0bama brings ebola patients to the USA for treatment, compliments of you and me.
2 - ebola breaks out in the USA, and we’re told not to panic.

What facinates me is the knowledge that deadly viruses have an inherent survival mechanism that causes them to evolve, change and discover ways to spread to other hosts in order to keep it’s “species” alive........

zoonotic virus, coming out of animals The "bird flu" mutation type of thing is frightening. Under a survival scenario, we can avoid other humans and avoid something like Ebola. It's tough to avoid a sick bird flying over your remote location and dropping dead on your property.

To: Drango
Why do we keep reading conflicting reports on its means of transmission? Is it that it can move by air between certain animals, but requires direct contact in humans?
To: Nifster
Not saying NPR is correct, but they are saying it’s NOT airborne.

NPR and their science dude agree with Fumento.

Get it turned loose in the “moist forest” of central and South America and see what happens.
No, there’s nothing to worry about.

This is very interesting - is rabies a virus? If so it has been around a long time and never mutated to a more contagious form of transmission. Maybe Ebola will be the same. We can hope.....
