Yeah, it was awful.
The spread of Ebola is highly limited by two factors : the fatality rate and the time frame over which the disease develops symptoms. Yes, panic is potentially far worse than the disease itself, where strict containment protocols be placed in infected areas. When people panic, the panic alone can potentially cause a lot of casualties from people behaving in ways that they normally wouldn’t.
I can only imagine.
UofM ??
Where is that?
Can happen even from microscopic quantities of fluid. Can be left as an infectious residue for days.
OK now you're starting make it to sound like one of those wild and whacky post-9/11 threads. Let me know if you see any more choppers. I'll be in the shower.
yeah, I was thinking along the lines of the embolism. Long flight to just be sitting through, especially at 72.
That is absolutely true. I’d like some reporters to find some people who were on that plane, where are they right now?
That’s what they are telling us.
That is horrendous.
The game does seem to be "reassure the public". Is it possible for Ebola to morph in ways that the quickie tests no longer work?
False alarm, if you can believe the government report. In this day and age, there is always at least a little doubt that we are being told the truth.
Yeah I have one looking for us a movie to watch, lol. Of course I knew it was wrong although everyone I knew thought I was just wishful thinking.
I agree with the other poster who says they are trying to keep down panic.
I am betting over a dozen defections from the conference in DC from Africa.
I also am very curious about the cause of death.

LOL! Fits perfectly with your user name.
of course, why else post it? Besides, someone had already provided an answer.
