Ebola can survive outside the body for 6 days which pretty much means we are screwed especially under this POTUS who seems hellbent on getting it into the US.

On the high end, yes. But more importantly Ebola survives well when moist and at about 4C. That may make it more dangerous for us here in winter than it is in tropical Africa.

Hellbent? Heck...he's already succeeded. And, he's shipping in 150 *reinforcements*, each day. Just to be sure.

Actually we’re lucky it only survives 6 days.

Many more common viruses last up to months.
