Lovely
Haven’t seen this website before (just visited it). It doesn’t seem very reputable. I wouldn’t put much faith in it.
streaming coverage of an Emirates Air jet at Boston. People in biohazard suits just went aboard. Apparently five passengers are sick.

Man, I thought CIDRAP was some sort a rapper.
E’erybody know you c’aint catch no Obola unless you get nekit and breakdance in’ey infectush jooce!
The government is lying to us to cover for their incompetence and failure to quarantine ALL west African travelers.
Obama may well have brought a new plague to America
It is clearly not full airborne like the common cold or the flu, else half the world would now be infected. However, it is clearly somewhere in between that and what the Centers for Disease Transmission have staked ALL OF OUR LIVES ON, namely, “not transmissible by any means other than direct contact.
If the latter were true, how did the nurse in Dallas get it, despite being in a bio/hazmat suit? Aerosolized both makes sense from a medical POV and sounds “just right” in terms of splitting the difference...which bodes rather ill for the rest of us because it is more contagious than we thought (and that’s before additional mutations, which apparently occur in literally every body that is infected.
But there’s nothing going on here, nothing to see, just move on...says the Centers for Disease Transmission head, Dr. Friedenstein (B.S., M.S., A.S.S.H.O.L.E.)
Well Ebola Zaire’s non lethal to human’s cousin Reston was airborne (which has been known for 30 years) so it wouldn’t be shocking at this point.

Hunt down EVERY Government official and politician that espoused this nonsense that it’s not and cannot be airborne, and HANG THEM.
CDC director will no doubt says these CIDRAP people are racist.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Why aren't UV-C lights being deployed at least in all suspected Ebola patients' rooms and more preferably all over the place?!
Waiting for the chorus of “it’s not airborne” Freepers to chime in 3-2-1... aerosolized droplets can remain suspended for long periods, scary stuff but logically correct.
Purdue professor says Ebola ‘primed’ to go airborne

It appears that living in a desert is beneficial from the pov of arosol transmission.
This article reads like an ad for PAPRs. It says things about Ebola that simply are not accurate, and deliberately fuzzes definitions.
Ebola is not transmitted through aerosols, and there are a number of reasons it doesn’t and is unlikely to. It is transmitted directly, which means through touching an infected patient, or having contaminated fluids splash up onto bare patches of skin. Although these droplets are launched into the air by various means, they are not airborne, but are a subset of direct contact.
In actual use, a PAPR would replace the face shields/head coverings/surgical masks usually worn; it would probably be about as effective.
Great article. Should be in Breaking, where everyone can see it.
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...
