Just might want to pass this along to your friends and family when they listen to the CDC and the rest of the incompetents at the state and local level. Ever wonder why so many doctors and nurses are dying in Africa?

cause YOU KNOW IT’S REALLY NOT THAT CONTAGIOUS!!!! At least that’s what they’re telling us. They’re saying it “can’t be transmitted via aerosolized contamination”

This was sent out to emergency room directors and emergency room doctors.

Of course a good respirator should be used, if available, when in close contact with a symptomatic patient. No assumptions about “can’t infect because...” are valid when in extremely close proximity (say 2 meters).

But Ebola doesn’t spread in the way a classic aerosolized virus does, across several aisles of a supermarket, for example, or through the entire cabin air of an airliner. If that were the case then million of Africans would already be dead of Ebola.
