They’re admitting you can catch it from contaminated animal meat. How does the animal catch it?

Back to my scenario. A worker in a processing plant comes down with ebola. Of course he’s handling meat for a while before he’s diagnosed. Too late to prevent all the meat he has touched from being distributed.

There are numerous cases of people getting ebola and similar diseases through handling the meat of infected animals. The original patient of this epidemic (a two year old) got it from eating some bush meat.

Back to my scenario.

Here's my scenario..

Obama imports patient zero from Liberia and has him go on four separate flights infecting all the people on the planes going to different stops.

Then he lets the disease develop in patient zero and sends in all sorts of people to check on him so they get infected and go home to their own families.

Then they delay any response by authorities so the disease can scare the crap out of everybody.

How's that?

Not to mention that they say dogs are a threat because they can get the virus and pass it along - even though they never become symptomatic......they killed the Spanish nurse's dog for safety..
