Ah - thank you. Been so much news over the past couple days that it’s hard to keep it all straight.
I’d be curious how well the transfusion works. It may give a key to a vaccine if it does. Ebola is one of those odd ones - bit like syphilis or smallpox. Hardish to catch in the first place, then contagious as all get out. Bit of effort might be worth it to eradicate it. We did it with smallpox.
*Hardish to catch* does not equate with *contagious as all get out*.
Which is it? Everything I've heard is that it is highly contagious and easy to catch. It needs just a small contact with a drop of bodily fluids from an infected person, from days before to up to three weeks after showing symptoms.
That's a HUGE time frame for being contagious for a virus.
