Ebola incubation period can be up to 20 days. People who come in here with it may not even know they have it.....10 days later, they collapse.
Also, the virus is spread through coughing, sneezing, etc.....just like an influenza virus. Wipe your grocery cart handles because ebola virus can live on surfaces for several hours.
I honestly believe the CDC is not being forthcoming because they don’t want mass hysteria.
Peace Corps volunteers evacuate because of Ebola virus
“The Peace Corps is pulling 300 of its volunteers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea due to the increasing spread of the Ebola virus, several of whom are from the Sacramento region.”
The story says that only a couple of these volunteers are being quarantined. Several are returning to Sacramento, according to the story. Who knows where the rest will be dispersed. I guess we’ll know a lot more in three weeks.
Yes and his family flew back here on a commercial flight. I have to question what this doc was thinking having his family over there. As a nurse I can tell you if I were over there working with Ebola patients there is no way in he’ll I would want my family anywhere near there.
Pray this family wasn’t infected. For their sakes and ours.
