“People with Ebola are contagious and able to transmit the virus only when they are showing symptoms, which occurs about a week after they are exposed to the virus.”

Not true. Only true most of the time. There are many documented transmissions from asymptomatic patients.

In past decade, US had at least 5 patients with deadly, hemorrhagic fevers. All were isolated, none ever led to an outbreak.

...”There are many documented transmissions from asymptomatic patients”....

But not here....and I have to agree with why it has spread so fast in the African nations....entirely different country and may as well say no medical facilities, people highly suspicious and superstitious, with horrible burial rites that all set this in a whirl-wind there..and still does..

Exactly. And what about the exact second the person goes from asymptomatic to symptomatic. I am doing my very best Howard Dean impression right about now. Aieeeeeeeeeeee
