“Colder dry climates more prone to Ebola spread than Wet Humid Africa according to Scientists”
Improper conclusion based on no data. “Scientists say” all kinds of crap, especially if power or fame are involved.
We have no idea - none - how temperature and humidity variations affect transmissibility. The high attack rate among people wearing protective gear suggests transmission is enhanced by higher temperatures (under the gear).
The article was based on older studies and testing that proved to be true. Which is clear by why they keep washing the planes....at the congressional hearings this was made clear when they asked and the doctor about it and he said that ‘Ebola can live on a dry surface for hours’.
“Laziness”...example: You did not even take the time to read the article and find the publication for the study by the USAMRIID:
“In 1995, scientists from the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) reported in the International Journal of Experimental Pathology”
Ok, nice, what would it have taken you two seconds to post to that more authoritative publication? “George Washington” also posted a bunch of unsupported junk. Oh, but it wouldn’t be as JUICY then.
Seriously, you really do NOT make any sense to me here, so let’s just terminate the subject.... because your posts just appear to be argumentative and not really informative.

And anyhow when you wave bloody shirts around it helps if it isn’t mostly ketchup.
Micro-droplets do transport more easily through drier air, as water vapor does. All viruses can float in air. They’re tiny and light.
Whether or not a particular virus is easily transmissible through air depends on whether or not a recipient is likely to be infected by a carrier’s saliva, mucous, sweat, etc., through inhalation. Can it be acquired through the mouth, nose, eyes and the like? How many virions required for infection? How ill must the infected be in order to emit many virions into the air? How long will the virions survive in micro-droplets in the air?
There are strong hints in the following. See personal protective gear and decontamination proceduresvery well produced presentation. Some soldiers, Marines and others will recognize at least some of the steps.
A TASTE OF REMOVING AN EBOLA DEAD BODY

"'Scuze us, ma'am, we have a member of the LSM here headed for treatment - out of the way..."
This is the test he is truly bringing to our nation through his outright treasonous behavior.
“This is the test he is truly bringing to our nation through his outright treasonous behavior.”
At a minimum, Obola is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be held accountable (along with his many minions) of such with extreme prejudice.
I can’t help but think that we are playing with fire here. We run the risk of having Ebola becoming embedded in our environment. What if the burgeoning rat population of NYC should become a vector? We will be living with Ebola forever.
But then the left gets it’s wish of a malleable, sustainable population of well, a lot less of us...
