The committee members requested HHS tell them by Sept. 26, why the administration’s warnings have become more dire, the problems to date with containment, the protocols to respond to Ebola in the U.S., how federal funding have been spend to combat Ebola, the current risk the diseases posses to the U.S., assessments of hospitals to respond to an outbreak, as well as the status of medicine.

BamBam doesn’t have a strategery for Ebola because he says it’s just a JV disease.
Are not these health-care workers protected with special suits? How are they getting infected?

Personally, I’m not too worried about the US, except for a few bigger cities with large illegal alien populations.
The real worry is for the large, poor, third world cities. It could easily sweep through the shanty towns masquerading as major cities in Africa, the middle east and even parts of South America and Asia.
Also, doesn’t it liquefy the internal organs which then ooze out your orifices?
You think those special suits are 100% foolproof?
I want to know if it can be spread by the aerosol action from the flush of a toilet used by an infected person?
Cough! Cough! OMG! My dog just jumped off my lap and ran under the bed!
Those special suits had better be foolproof. If not, why not?
In a percentage of cases, somewhat.
The mucous membranes bleed first, mouth, sinus, anus, vagina.
The tissue breaks down, and internal organs begin to lose blood supply, die, and break down.
Similar diseases exist, Marburg for one.
Now now, don’t read stuff to the dog.
Meanie.
Especially while playing a Romero movie in the background!
Lol.
Nope.
You can become contaminated while removing the suit.
Ebola Zaire is weakly airborne, it can be spread short range through aerosolized droplets.
Like sneezing or especially juicy coughing.
Brush the suit, touch your face after, you’ve just joined the ranks of the infected.
That’s how the docs are getting it over there, the decon process isn’t perfect.
The word 'aerosol' doesn't really fit there but can it be spread by the back splash of contaminated water droplets? Yes, definitely.
Or playing Jackie Chan Adventures?
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
You are trying to traumatize the poor thing?
Lol
It is the aerosolized droplets that I am concerned about. Such droplets come from the flushing of a toilet. I wonder if this is the most difficult route to protect from exposure.
Dunno.
So far it has been the splashy droplets.
Like getting coughed on with a juicy cough, or a particularly gooey sneeze.
But they did a study with rhesus monkies that suggested it is a little more aggressively airborne, but there are some caveats.
They aren’t certain if there may have been some..urine spray shall we say.
You are aware of the aerosol action of the flushing toilet in the spread of disease. Let me pass on to my FRiends a link to the subject:
The “special suits” are basically a $2 pair of rubber boots, and some plastic cheapo suit, with a head covering of plastic, and a google-like covering for the eyes, and a 50-cent mouth covering.
Based on comments....you sweat like heck as you wear this all day. I would suspect that your suit gets ripped somewhere during the process of the day, and your sweat gets a dose of Ebola, which somehow gets into your system.
