ebola in america - Two facts nobody is telling you about Ebola
Catholic Online ^ | 10/1/2014 | Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)

Posted on 10/01/2014 8:24:25 AM PDT by justlittleoleme

...there are two little facts about Ebola which are buried in the commotion and nobody will share. More importantly, there is nothing that we can do to stop these problems.

The first is that Ebola is not spread by humans alone. It is also spread by small mammals. Bats are commonly cited as a likely host for the disease. It is unclear how many other animals serve as vectors. There's no reason to disbelieve that Ebola cannot be transmitted from a human, either alive or dead, back into animals. We've sent troops to Africa to help quarantine people, but corralling infected animals may prove far more difficult. As these animals migrate and move, they can potentially infect other people, far outside of quarantine zones.
Yet even this fear is a little far-fetched. There are no documented cases of human to animal transmission, so this fact that should keep us awake at night.

Instead, the fact that should keep us worried is that Ebola is a sexually transmitted disease.

According to the World Health Organization fact sheet on Ebola, the disease can be transmitted via semen for up to seven weeks following cure. That means a person may recover from the disease, but if they engage in sexual relations too soon after recovery, they may infect others.

Americans treat celibacy as an anachronism. Immerse yourself in American pop culture for only a few minutes and this will become obvious. Some African people also behave promiscuously, as a matter of culture. Different cultures have different sexual mores.

Promiscuous communities are far more likely to perpetuate and spread the disease, even if it has allegedly been "eradicated" in one area. Give people a chance to spread the disease through their relations and suddenly new infections will appear where there were none before.

I assume it’s real, I went to Google and typed in “illegals on a plane” and that came up.

Since it going full bore, what should they do? What can they do. They can’t stop the millions arriving daily and I don’t believe they want to. The question is “What should WE do?”

Right, but what I’m saying is, it’s not an either/or thing.

It can very well be a real picture, but still not be one that depicts anything that is actually disconcerting, if we knew the real story behind it.

The Gay community needs to watch out...

Zero sending 3000 troops to West Africa, are those carriers bringing loads of them back? Those passengers look a lot more black than hispanic to me.

What bases are they going to?

There were airborne variants of the Black Death...infected people would cough or sneeze propelling infected droplets into the air where they would be inhaled by others. No reason why this type of transmission isn’t possible for Ebola.

According to this source, it’s a picture of Haitian refugees being evacuated after the earthquake in Haiti (see picture #4): http://www.pressdemocrat.com/gallery/2358128-181/photoblog-haitis-struggle

The first step was congress not vetting the usurper in ‘08.

Someone needs to create a PSA for border states and for South America and Mexico for all the south americans that flooded the Texas border about the Texas obola outbreak. Then stand back and watch the inflow of illegals reverse.
