>>One paper I read (study of ebola stats from
>>Zaire strain) said up to 25 days possible for incubation.
One of the MSF case studies had a victim who manifested after 40 days.
We are now seeing 1 in 100, 1 in 1000, and 1 in 10,000 expressions of Ebola.
That means Ebola won’t be static. This isn’t mutation, it is simply that people are different in how they interact with the disease.
I’m not sure if they have during these studies, taken blood from a variety of seemingly unaffected people in Africa to see if they have antibodies and the severity may be limited to those with a genetic predisposition? Who knows? The Govt. certainly doesn’t know everything about this disease. If they do, and are that certain, could it be from an engineered or modified disease? The possibilities are frightening.
I think one of the variables is the miniscule viral load necessary to infect. If you get exposed to 1000's of viral particles, maybe your incubation is quicker than when you are exposed to 5 viral particles.
I am reminded of turbulence modeling in fluid mechanics... the smaller the initial disturbance, the longer time/space required for it to build to a turbulent level.
