CDC: Woman may have gotten Ebola after sex with survivor

Washington Examiner ^ | May 1, 2015 | Robert King

Only beaten back, but not defeated.

Other sources say:

"But studies conducted during previous outbreaks have found that the Ebola virus can be found in semen up to 82 days after a patient's initial symptoms. Scientists don't know if the man's semen contains live Ebola viruses, although they plan to conduct such tests, the CDC report says.

Tests of the man's semen did find genetic material from the Ebola virus, called RNA. The tests were performed 199 days — or about 6½ months — after he first developed symptoms, suggesting that the genetic material can remain in semen much longer than previously known. Earlier studies have found genetic material from Ebola up to 101 days after the beginning of symptoms, the CDC says."

[Veto!]

If that’s the case, the entire continent of Africa will catch Ebola.

Apparently, that’s not happening.

It may take a while to show up as this case seems to indicate.

Behind door #1 is an Ebola survivor.
Behind door #2 is a pit bull infected with Black Plague.
And Michelle Obama is serving up lunch behind door #3.

Why is life so hard recently?

Talk about “demon seed.” Catching Ebola thru sex fits the bill.

So, according to AIDS rules, the doctor cannot
warn the sex partner of the danger.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Ping...

If that’s the case, the entire continent of Africa will catch Ebola.

Hmmm. 25,000 infected (ball park), 15,000 survivors, given half male, 7500 guys are going to be very busy infecting 30,200,000 Africans...over 4000 each is quite a quota...

The importance of the 82 day finding is that researchers were able to culture the virus from the sample.

Finding viral RNA doesn’t mean anything by itself, since RNA can be present even when the virus is dead. But finding culturable virus indicates a strong possibility that the virus is contagious and infectious.

Here is the reference:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9988181

In the table, the 82 day seminal fluid sample contained virus that was cultured in cells, meaning it was active. Several other samples only contained RNA, but did not infect cells.

You and your math. Harumph! But you can’t stop them from trying.

Wilt Chamberlain was said to have had intercourse with thousands of females. Holy Toledo........

he’s wielding ... the dick of death !

Apparently, you have never seen the Breck commercial!

...and they tell two friends, then they tell two friends...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

If male survivors have sex (oral, vaginal or anal), a condom should be used correctly and consistently every time. within six months, they're idiots!"

Fixed it.

Thanks for the ping!
