Last night I was listening to a dr in a podcast who was trying to explain that ebola can infect through the skin. If it can get through the skin barrier, then the lining of the mouth, esophagus and lungs is not an issue.
The big problem is how little of the virus is needed to cause an infection.
Frankly, I don’t know what we haven’t had a pandemic of this monster until now.
Thanks for the ping!
It’s been known for some time. ...another lab report.
