Based on what’s being reported, a woman without symptoms boarded a communal taxi, infecting all five of the other passengers, then boarded a motorcycle and infected the driver, and THEN came down with symptoms.
That suggests an aerosol transmission vector, not a blood contact vector.
UNLESS, the infection happened as a result of another blood eating organism jumping from the infected to the uninfected - lice, fleas, mosquitos.
Based on infection rates (showing an exponential growth pattern as of the last 72 hours), I would not assume transmission is blood borne, or there wouldn’t be a concern about showing symptoms as a basis for quarantine.
People NOT showing symptoms, but who are infected, are apparently spreading the virus.
As usual, the press is doing its usually inferior job of providing accurate information at this stage.
That is all very disturbing. I did not think that it could pass via bloodsuckers, lice etc, because if it could be passed THAT way people would really be dropping left and right.
We now that OUR media are a bunch of democratic shills and liars who wouldn’t tell you the sky was blue if they thought it would make Obama, et al. look bad.
As to African media, I’m sure they are pretty unreliable, perhaps I misjudge them, but people are probably already hysterical over there, so that makes it hard to get a straight story no matter who, what or where.
Don’t know if it is on this thread or not but I have said before here, and I mean it most seriously, we should stop entry of anyone who has been to any of those countries.
