Yeah there was a blonde woman either South African or British on one of Fox’s shows yesterday and she was saying there is nothing to worry about as there are treatments for Ebola here and the only reason it is so deadly is when it happens in Africa there isn’t good medical care. I’m not buying it. Once it’s here, it will spread. The symptoms are similar to flu so how many will go undiagnosed and spread it to others. She said it is not airborne, but that it can be spread through bodily fluid and saliva. When you sneeze aren’t those same water molecules mixed with mucus flying out of your nose and mouth the same thing as saliva?

I read that the virus can survive 23 days on objects at room temp. If this is true - red alert.

Can anyone verify this?

There are no treatments for Ebola here. In fact it would likely be more deadly here for the first little bit because no one would suspect it until we already had multiple deaths from an outbreak. There is plenty to worry about, and an Ebola outbreak here would be devastating.

Same goes when you breathe. Just being near a person’s breath would be enough .
