The public has been misinformed regarding human-to-human transmission of Ebola. Assurances that Ebola can be transmitted only through direct contact with bodily fluids need to be seriously scrutinized in the wake of the West Africa outbreak.
The Canadian Health Department states that airborne transmission of Ebola is strongly suspected and the CDC admits that Ebola can be transmitted in situations where there is no physical contact between people, i.e.: via direct airborne inhalation into the lungs or into the eyes, or via contact with airborne fomites which adhere to nearby surfaces. That helps explain why 81 doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers have died in West Africa to date. These courageous healthcare providers use careful CDC-level barrier precautions such as gowns, gloves, and head cover, but it appears they have inadequate respiratory and eye protection. Dr. Michael V. Callahan, an infectious disease specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital who has worked in Africa during Ebola outbreaks said that minimum CDC level precautions
“led to the infection of my nurses and physician co-workers who came in contact with body fluids.”

Yes, because there families ill not be at risk.
To show that they were taking every precaution, even though the degree of it was not necessary. It's what they do.
But like all other speculative thinking, their motives are now challenged by using the precautions as a double edged sword..

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Please read the Doctor’s article in its entirety, if you haven’t. It is logical and well reasoned.
You get what you say according to the Bible.
I, for one, am not participating for lack of interest....I am healthy and blessed, period.
I read that book. It was scary.
Yeah, but I doubt they can afford the airfare to get to the US..:-)
I can be a panic monger if I wish. I’m immune. I have too much common sense to be swayed by someone in an irrational panic.
None of us will leave this world alive, and that’s a fact. Another fact is that we all leave by different doors. Ebola is just another door.
Yep. someday...that's the nature of life, no one gets out alive.
Amen!
You are correct, I skimmed it, but I have already seen exactly the same thing several times now.
The idea of it, is to make a rational sounding explanation to explain the infection rates of the medical workers.
There are many variables that these opinions never consider simply because the writers are emotionally compromised or don’t understand the lax precautions and protocols used in these clinics, particularly early on in the outbreak.
One think important in my mind, is the fact that most of these medical volunteers all bunked together in groups, some of them quite large. made for a easy transmission to the entire group in some cases.
I’ll give you a example of how this occurs, based on a real life experience I had just one year ago.
My wife’s mother is in a nursing home. She, being the good daughter that she is, wanted to help her to have a better life their and agreed to personal wash her clothing at home and bring it back to her mother..(they usually do it in their own commercial laundry but the soaps and chemicals often ruin the clothing)
Within about two weeks, my entire family came down with staph infections in various places, including me. It was a nasty little bug. My son ended up having to go to the emergency room, but my wife’s infection and mine resolved on their own.
It was a simple act of kindness but my wife had not considered the fact that decontamination of the washing machine or the use of a stronger washing agent (bleach) might be necessary.
I recount this story only for the purposes of showing everyone here just how viruses and bacteria can propagate and it certainly does not need any “airborne” characteristics to travel for miles from the source.
Thanks for the ping.
Or it's mosquitoes, fleas or bedbugs...
What happens when the consequences happen? Will they once again blame Bush?
Perhaps.
If not Bush, someone else, it's always someone else, never, ever, ever their own fault.
After all, they had the very best of intentions!
Assuming all that...they proved that the casual contact distance for monkeys in cages, in a lab, is at least 10 feet.
But that's all they proved..and you have to assume that there was no other inadvertent transmission..
Obviously you spoon in with both hands the line of BS put forth by the regime, so, why don’t just go give the next arrivvee a big sloppy kiss? The flood gates will soon open, so you can take your pick.

Just hold on to that thought...
