CDC admits droplets from a sneeze could spread Ebola
NY Post ^ | October 29, 2014 | By Bob Fredericks

Ebola is a lot easier to catch than health officials have admitted — and can be contracted by contact with a doorknob contaminated by a sneeze from an infected person an hour or more before, experts told The Post Tuesday.

“If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be” infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.

Nass pointed to a poster the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly released on its Web site saying the deadly virus can be spread through “droplets.”

“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,” the poster states.

Nass slammed the contradiction.

“The CDC said it doesn’t spread at all by air, then Friday they came out with this poster,” she said. “They admit that these particles or droplets may land on objects such as doorknobs and that Ebola can be transmitted that way.”

Just a week ago, the entire cast of “MSNBC News” was chuckling that anybody could believe such nonsense.

D-U-H. Beat me to it.

Larry Elder went off on the word DUH last week, asking if it meant the same thing in other languages. It was funny.

They are undercalling a disease variant THEY KNOW NOTHING
about, not even the animal reservoirs in America.

..... and they do not care.

If an outbreak of Ebola were to run through DC, how many people would be upset and how many would be laughing their a$$es off?

I am quite sure that the only time the WH will get serious about EBOLA or the OBAMA virus that the children from Central America, is when one of the OBAMA girls or OBAMA himself contracts one of the diseases.

On the CDC’s own web site, their transmission method explanation for ebola is almost word for word the same as their transmission method for flu. The ONLY difference is they say flue carrying aerosol droplets can travel 6 feet through the air, but ebola laden aerosol droplets only can travel 3 feet through the air.

Government workers are amazing, they can spout contradictory drivel, never suffer any consequences, and end up with fat pensions after a career of incompetence and out right lies.

Ebola must be heavier than the flu.

It was only until Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Friedan, “and if you sneeze?” Did he and anyone connected with the CDC admit there was a non-touch component to the exposure potential from Ebola. This was during the height of Duncan’s losing battle.

They are, in fact, dissemblers, obfuscators and liars. There is no other explanation. And, President Obama sent 3-4 thousand of our soldiers into viral battle knowing this. Unconscionable. Evil.

The weight is determined by the droplet size,
not the virus(es) contained therein.

Those with influenza and Ebola will create
vast clouds of infectivity which will NOT stop
suddenly at the fabricated ‘3 feet’.

Go grocery shopping  >  push a cart  >  touch your face  >  catch a cold.

If Ebola works like that, oh dear.
