If you have the virus, you can spread it. The only difference is that when you show symptoms, the vector is more pronounced because you are spewing your fluids across the room- literally. The virus is the virus. You get splattered with an infected persons blood the second after they contract it, is enough to infect you.
As the nurse said it’s 12-24 hours. The reality is that it’s whatever time it takes to enter your blood stream. It’s not like malaria. It doesn’t hatch. It is deadly no matter where it comes from, and at any point in time.
The danger is that there is no ready test for people that aren’t showing symptoms. Which means, if a asymptomatic infected boards a plane and starts coughing sneezing or has an open wound, you’re in trouble.
That makes logical sense, thank you.
Trouble? Yeah, like a 50%-90% chance of not surviving.
Does anybody think that the plane or planes the diplomat was sick on were properly disinfected before the next group of travelers used the plane or planes?
Anybody want to sit in that seat?
Now explain to me why air travel to Africa has not been halted unless they want Ebola to spread across the world.
