I have spent a little time compiling links to threads about the Ebola outbreak in the interest of having all the links in one thread for future reference.
Please add links to new threads and articles of interest as the situation develops.
Thank You all for you participation.

Transmitted by a ‘lady of the night’.
Hope none of our soldiers ever frequent those types of women...
Just wow. My imagination runs wild at the possibilities.
How contagious are female survivors of Ebola? We know male sperm contains virus and breast milk as well. But what else? Also note to those who don’t know, a woman who is no longer breast feeding a baby can still express milk even years after weaning a child.
Will Obama be sending more ‘corpse-men’ to battle ‘ebolee’?
At least he didn’t say anything too outrageous. This time. ;^)
[Tobacco can’t be the main bottleneck since it will be spring for next batch.]
They grow trees inside of some hot houses. So no problems there. As for the part that’s harvested, no idea. Found this:

“What does it tell you when Britain and France have stopped flights to and from the nations in Africa where Ebola has become a threat and the United States has not taken a similar measure? What does it tell you when the President sends 3,000 U.S. troops on a “humanitarian” mission to West Africa? It tells me he has put the U.S. at risk if any or a portion of these troops return after having been infected.” [snip]

Washington Post Link from Drudge:
Officials still working to identify people who came in contact with infected patient in TX...
Unconfirmed. No source. (Not on Reuters website.)
Moving further south might help grow larger plants better and sunlight is free light.
It can be grown most anywhere, I even raised a few plants in North Dakota (nearly 18 hours of daylight/day in midsummer), just to see if it would grow here. They grew to 6 ft. and flowered before the first frost (I should have started them a couple of weeks earlier for them to reach full maturity).
Even an 'infrequent' would carry severe risk...
Now we know where the unaccompanied minors on the United flight at EWR yesterday were coming from...
But we’ve been repeatedly told by several posters that such a thing could never happen. Symptomatic victims can’t possibly have the energy or ability to do this and transmission after infection by a survivor has never been shown in the lab.
I’m sure, between those two things, our troop will be perfectly safe even if they DO visit such ladies of ill repute.
