Effective vaccines are available, one made by Merck and another by Johnson & Johnson,
but so far they have generally been used only in response to outbreaks.
People recover from Ebola when their immune systems wipe out the virus.
But certain parts of the body, including the eye, the central nervous system and the testes are so-called privileged sites, beyond the reach of the immune system.
The virus can sometimes hide in those spots. But no one knew it could hide out for so long.

"harbored the virus for at least five years and then transmitted it via semen to a sex partner!"

So can the ChiCom/WooHoo flu aka Covid 19 be transmitted or spread the same way?

[mewzilla]

Explain persistence in semen has been known about for a while, a few years anyway.

The question is whether or not what’s present in the semen in the man who had it years ago is capable of infecting anyone today.

FWIW, I highly doubt it. But it makes for some dandy fear porn.

Send Ebola Nurse Kaci Hickox! She needs another chance to break quarantine when she gets back, and achieve her goal!

Bring Out Your Dead

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.

The false positive rate was 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...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.

[Amberdawn]

Thank you for the explanation.

[Keyhopper]

I thought once you had ebola you were immune from catching it again.

[Caipirabob]

In before Fraud PedoJoe imports and releases them in your neighborhood.

[caww]

Ebola outbreaks are common in Africa....at best they control the spread.

[Organic Panic]

And we will soon hear how Chomo Joe saved the world yet again from ebola all while saving the world from kung flu for on the democrat party propaganda madia.

Chicken pox virus can hide in bone marrow for 6 decades, to emerge later as shingles.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

What a mess. Given that we’re under a new administration that would presumably be more reluctant to impose travel bans, perhaps those vaccines should be offered to the general public.

[Uncle Miltie]

Well that .... sucks?

I used to have a tagline with a quote from the CDC site stating they had no idea how Ebola was transferred.

Then they said it lived in semen for 6 months. Guess they meant 6 years. Such bozos.
