The executive assistant of the Liberian foreign minister died of it. I guarantee she didn’t have a ‘hole in the floor’ to do her business. She had a flush potty like everyone else in her demographic there.
It’s in the taxis and other transportation there now. And probably every other public surface that isn’t in direct sunlight and isn’t decontaminated every single use. Like doorknobs, elevator push buttons and similar surfaces.
It’s also carried by dogs, who are asymptomatic carriers. But while infected, their pee,poop and saliva are infected. So anywhere the dog pees, poops or drools will have ebola virons for several days depending on UV exposure of that spot.
Could the virus theoretically be passed from cardholder to cardholder via “card-swipe” gizmos?
I didnt know about the dogs
Dogs are hunted down and killed in Arabia so maybe no big deal there
Everything you say about the taxi system and all public places (and the filthy money money that changes hands multiple times in a day - our own US dollars are contaminated with e coli)
I’m going to bet the “executive assistants” and other govt mucka muckas have cooks and housecleaners who don’t
have a flush potties at their homes or in their villages where they go every week to visit family and take stuff
and for the men, the prostitute business is as casual there as us going for a haircut- esp for the truckers who haul everything across the continent
given the lifestyle over there I truly do not see how it will be contained unless Black Death measures are adopted (total seal off until everyone dies or says alive because of immunity)
and Obama is pompously sending US troops over there to .... do this job? Quarantine Africans to their deaths?
