He did not live in a protective suit.
He was in Liberia for a couple weeks before NBC hired him as a cameraman.
Two mutually exclusive claims.
FACT: Sex can spread the virus.
Isn’t it funny how they say “can no longer spread” in one sentence, use that to disarm people, and then write the next contradictory sentence and get away with it.
They are masters of deceit.
There are the different strains, at least 4 or 5.
This current one that is dangerous is Zaire.
There is/was the mild one, Reston for yes, Reston Va.
I'm with you....don't trust them at all. They lie to fit the current talking points.
Thank you. That had concerned me.
The above article by the CDC is double-tongued. Hidden within are these gems:
Yes, ebola can be spread by sneezing.
Yes, ebola can be spread by coughing.
Yes, ebola is lethal on inanimate objects.
Yes, ebola survives for months in the infected.
Yes, ebola can be spread by sex.
Yes, ebola can survive for hours (doesn’t say how many) outside the body.
So, “only by bodily fluids” is so deceptively ‘truthful’ that it is a huge propaganda lie from the pit of hell.
>Does the CDC know why that cameraman in a protective suit contracted ebola?
We’ll never be told if he wound up in the sack with a local and caught it during a sweaty body session.
BTTT
I suppose the term ‘forked tongue’ was way ahead of its time but know the American Indian Tribes would disagree and the Holy Man of each tribe would say ... Nobody cannot say they weren’t warned?!?!
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...
It will be interesting to see if this information is "disappeared" in the next day or so.
Even though they survive, they are seriously weakened by the disease. Many that survive are crippled, have diet changes, etc. Just read Lazamataz thread on the effects of Ebola.
Also, the blood tranfustion conversation goes like this:
"Hello patient, I am Doctor ________ here with good news and bad news. The good news is that we will be giving you blood transfusion from an Ebola survivor and should help you defeat the virus before your body is wrecked or you melt.
The BAD news is that you will have malaria, HEP C, and HIV afterwards.
Your choice: Take the blood and probably live for another decade or more, or dont, and you'll be dead in a week".
There is absolutely nothing to worry about!
The report does say up to several days in body fluids at room temps.
"Ebola is killed with hospital-grade disinfectants (such as household bleach). Ebola on dried on surfaces such as doorknobs and countertops can survive for several hours; however, virus in body fluids (such as blood) can survive up to several days at room temperature.
Oh, you mean the Marburg virus. We don't have to worry about that. It was suppressed.
They know they have 7,000 plus of the same strain in West Africa, plus a different strain in in the Congo. The mutations from a given strain do not appear to affect immunity - no one has ever been infected twice during the same outbreak (although admittedly they have never had an outbreak this big). It's a much better bet than hiring people without any immunity to provide care.
Who is willing to take that risk? I imagine a hungry African in a country that is collapsing would be willing to take that risk in return for enough good food for the caregiver and immediate family. I consider it ethical to make that offer because of the comparatively low personal risk and the extremely high community benefit.
Even though many are weakened, many survivors are strong enough for the (admittedly demanding) work of nursing other patients. It’s worth trying to hire as many as possible. They can also go door to door checking for other patients much more safely than anyone else could.
In terms of transfusions, that is a tricky issue. I imagine they could find numerous survivors without active Lassa, malaria, or HIV and use those people as donors. It’s risky, especially with screening uncertainties, but it might be worthwhile. It’s not a complete disaster yet, but we have 7,000 plus known cases and 20,000 estimated cases in West Africa after ten months. It could easily be millions in another ten months. It’s time to do something more aggressive immediately.
There is no evidence that mosquitos or other insects can transmit Ebola virus. Only mammals (for example, humans, bats, monkeys and apes) have shown the ability to spread and become infected with Ebola virus.
They didn't say "no".
So that means, at least, they don't know and nobody has ruled it out.
Is this being researched by our CDC? If not, why not?
