Hospital says there are currently no concerns regarding public exposure

A Montreal hospital has isolated a female patient presenting with symptoms of Ebola, a deadly virus, officials said.

The patient arrived at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) late Thursday afternoon exhibiting signs of the disease.

Irène Marcheterre, a spokesperson for the CHUM, said that as soon as the suspicious symptoms were identified, the hospital immediately enacted its required isolation protocols.

The hospital reiterated that all necessary safety measures have been put in place and stressed that there are currently no concerns regarding public exposure.

The suspected case comes amid an ongoing and deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where thousands have died in recent months.

Marcheterre could not confirm whether the patient had recently travelled from the region, stating she did not know the woman's travel history.

Compared to measles' infectiousness:

Measles is significantly more contagious than Ebola, with estimates ranging from 6 to 9 times more infectious depending on the source.

Reproduction Rate (R0): Measles has an R0 of 12 to 18, meaning one infected person can transmit the virus to up to 18 others. In contrast, Ebola has an R0 of approximately 1.5 to 2.5, averaging around 2 secondary infections per case.

Transmission Method: Measles is airborne and can linger in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room. Ebola spreads only through direct contact with bodily fluids.

Infectivity: Without immunity, roughly 90% of people exposed to measles will become infected. Measles patients are also contagious for four days before symptoms appear, whereas Ebola patients are generally only contagious once symptoms are visible. Ebola transmission is largely limited to close contacts such as family members and healthcare workers.

That’s inhumane! Instead lock down the rest of us to protect those with ebola!

.. and Fauci’s diary revealed Ebola was aerosiled decades ago & the vaccines made aerosol infections worse

https://x.com/SenRandPaul/status/2104573591803376042

ebola has showed up before in the Americas & lab infections are suspected.

Bioweapons brewed & distributed
