Obama: “ebola is difficult to get”
Sure, which is why it's classified as a Biosafety level IV pathogen. This guy is so arrogant that he thinks he is qualified to speak with authority on just about any (if not every) topic.
Too many have been trying to characterize Ebola as something like HIV, or Hep C, etc. It's not. No one has to gown, glove, and mask just to be in a room with a HIV or Hep C patient, and people with hazmat suits don't have to clean the room when they leave. Ebola is significantly more easily transmitted, and we don't even know all the ways it can be transmitted yet. It's not as transmissible as the flu, but it isn't ‘difficult to get’. It has been shown possible to infect rhesus monkeys by inhalation of small aerosolized droplets, which is a scary thought.
