Is it true that no symptoms = no communicability?

I doubt this is true. It doesn’t work that way for other viral illnesses such as influenza.

For most diseases, it is before symptoms (really insidious).

Apparently with this, it is with symptoms.

They DO vary. Most people assume when symptomatic, which is largely not true, but is why everyone freaks when someone is working with them who has left-over nasal discharge. I guess in the case of ebola, good reason to freak.

I just watched a cute blondie on Fox assure us that an outbreak here in the US is highly unlikely “ as long as we contain it”

Donchya just love how reporters say the dumbest things with a completely straight face?

And does anyone think this guy would tell anyone that he felt sick and be denied boarding or admittance?
