Yes several days on a dried surface, like oh, an airline bathroom counter or armrest.

Meaning this particular ebola is enormously pathogenic and somehow more so under the same circumstances which have in the past protected healthcare workers.

HIV/AIDS is not that scary overall. It dies under florescent light fairly quickly and it takes some ten exposures to become infected..

I suppose this is just one more thing to add to the list of what you can catch from a toilet seat.

There are medical personnel who serve in the national guard. Our dentist is one. I know a couple MD’s who do as well. I presume they would be the people handling this.

Or the air filter of an airliner’s ventilation system?

So what do you think? ELISA plates in the field? I am curious as to the testing system.

That’s a good question. I honestly have no idea.

If and when it comes here. I carefully wipe the seat and cover it. But there will be paranoia about anything in public, particularly transit. On planes, what about seatback trays, volume knobs, overhead bin handles, magazines, seatbelts etc. If ebola comes here, I wouldn't fly. If it spreads here, maybe Depends adult diapers would be preferable to using public toilets!

Thank you both for the Ebola pings.

Where’s Mother Abigail when you need her.

If we look at the limiting factors in Africa, Generally, outbreaks have happened in the rural settings: the infection is generally the result of eating tainted 'bushmeat'. Although those primates and the reservoir animals (migratory fruit bats) may be considered a delicacy, they aren't generally served in an urban environment.

By the time someone in a rural environment presents with symptoms, they are likely well on their way to the grave.

The disease, though, generally as a result of those infected by patient zero, may make its way into larger towns, where it usually dies out due to isolation techniques.

Consider, though, in an urban environment versus a rural one that there are surfaces touched by the multitudes which may have been contaminated by a single patient while infectious, yet are subsequently touched by hundreds (or even thousands) daily, each having the potential to infect themselves with the virus by transmitting it to a mucous membrane (mouth, nose, eyes), or directly through a cut or abrasion. Suddenly, the ability to spread the disease escalates significantly.

Time will tell, but this disease may be more easily transmitted in urban terrain than in the bush.

Door handles, stair rails, faucet handles, corners, railings, and counters which could pick up the virus from sweat, sputum, mucous, or saliva, to name a few.

The well known perverted sex practices of American gays and Lesbians(not to mention heterosexuals engaged in frequent adultery and fornication with multiple partners) as well as IV drug users who share needles make them out to be at extreme high risk should ebola carriers come into contact with those “groups”. It is just a matter of time. The verse..”Your sin will find you out” comes to mind.

Still darkness pervades progressive thought so much that should the virus flare in these groups, the politics of the situation will blind them to advocate for what is necessary; that is the extreme quarantining of such groups until the virus runs its course thru those groups..”in the name of civil rights”!

And what are they using for a positive control? That could be something that would work toward a vaccine.

Illegals crossing the border come from many countries, including some in Africa. This particular man may not have been planning to cross the border on the ground but it is absolutely possible for someone from Africa to bring Ebola into the US through this border. It is not as likely as someone flying in of course- but not impossible. Just one of many reasons we need to secure the border.

From what I read this outbreak is different because it is in the cities in Africa. Previous outbreaks were mostly in isolated rural villages where people don’t travel much, easier to contain until it ran its course.

Unfortunately, yes. And a gruesome death for those whose immune systems can’t overcome it, 60-90% of victims.

“And if a case did appear in the USA, it “would not pose a major public health risk” Michael Osterholm, biosecurity expert and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota told USA Today. Why? Because it would be quickly tracked down and controlled.”

We just had an illegal flee his confinement and treatment until LEO tracked him down. He has TB and knew he did, took off any way. So I am not so sure about the idea that we could track down and control people as easy as this expert thinks.

It dawns on me that all the abuses and usurpations of this administration have been insufficient to provoke the citizenry to react in such a way as to justify Martial Law.

But an epidemic of a deadly disease, imported and distributed to the various states would be just such the incident.
