This research was done in 2010, so our CDC should know it.

Ebola can survive on surfaces for almost TWO MONTHS: Tests reveal certain strains survive for weeks when stored at low temperatures

Full Title

[driftdiver]

From the article “But, specialists at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta found that the virus is present on a patient’s skin after symptoms develop, underlining how contagious the disease is once symptoms set in.”

The virus is on the skin. No body fluids involved.

Much easier to prove what it CAN do than what it CAN'T do.

The word "Science" is too often fallaciously thrown around by 0bola and crew.

We normally call physics flunk outs future poli-sci majors.

Guess we can add “CDC” spokes creatures.

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...

The NY Marathon is next weekend - think about all those runners coming in from plagued nations moving about the city at will. God help us all.

That can’t be. There are plenty of folks here that say unless a person’s infection is so far along that their eyes explode you can’t get obola. Just wait, they’ll be right along.

Ebola has been around for over 30 years. Our CDC, NIH, etc should all be more than ready for it.

But, like 9/11, failure is acceptable despite billions spent.

BTTT!

Bull. Unless there are artificially created conditions no virus may live more than a few hours outside the cells of a carrier organism.
It is pure biology, it needs a carrier for nutrition and to procreate.

Anybody with half a brain would know that. Ebola needs moisture, a glass surface and 50% humidity =moisture, a droplet of moisture is the size of a lake compared to the size of a virus. So “duh.” You want to worry, try not to worry as much about 10,000 dying from Ebola as 655,000 dying from malaria. (Thank you “Silent Spring”...erroneously banning DDT...another liberal global-warming-type good intention turned killer of humanity).

Obama has survived on the face of the body politick since late 2008. In fact, he’s considered SO toxic that most Democrat politicians sterilize their phones for fear even chatting with him long distance could kill their reelection chances.
