I believe nothing of what this government is telling us. Obama is in full cover his ass mode.
I am inclined to believe that protocol was breached. We do not know (at least I have not read) who this infected person is or how that person came into contact with Duncan.
The disease has spread so rampantly in Africa because they live in third world nation conditions—no clean water, no proper sewers, not enough sterile gloves/masks/gowns, and people who do not practice the protocols that medical workers here practice. This is not a racist or bigoted statement; it is a fact.
I still believe that this disease is not airborne. If it were, we would be seeing more infections. Some people have better immune systems than others. I have been exposed to Chicken Pox more times that I can count and, thank God, I have never contracted it.
Folks, stock up on medical supplies such as gloves, masks, and hazard suits along with extra Clorox. I carry my hand sanitizer with me everywhere and use paper towels in public restrooms when touching door knobs.
I fear that this is the beginning of something bad. I hope I’m wrong.
Cholera (a bacteria) breeds in sewage. Ebola virus only breeds in certain cells within a few types of animals. A big problem in Africa is that virus laden patients are traveling in taxis and taxis are even being used to transport bodies.
A major grocery chain here in Houston has plastic “mitts” available at gas pumps. I’ve never seen that before. I’ve read that gas pumps are the most contagious place you can touch.
I thought initially that hand sanitizer would work, but I recently heard a doctor say that it won’t help with Ebola. You might fend off some other germs with it, but not Ebola. He was supposedly an infectious disease doctor. Sorry I don’t remember his name, but it was on the radio.
