CDC Admits Droplets From Sneeze Could Spread Ebola

I curious what you call nonsense. Fact is nonsense when it disagrees with you? You can have your own set of belief but you can not have your own set of facts.

No Doug YOU are the ones with the beliefs... I am the one with the Medical facts.

So then what is your expert opinion on the CDC's website where it talks about the virus living outside the body, etc? Are they just 'fooling with us' because it's fun to watch the public squirm, are they lying, are they mistaken......?

I believe that they are correct. The Virus can live several hours outside the body. It is however NOT an airborne virus.. It can be spread by droplets if you get someones snot in your eyes. You cannot breathe in the virus... A person needs to be sick to spread it.. they've said all that.. What are they lying about?

AND YOU continually make me roll my eyes with some of the stuff you come up with. I don't laugh at you though.. I feel sorry for you but more so for anyone who listens to you..as they could seriously endanger their lives.
 
A passenger in my car recently let out a monstrous sneeze which actually sprayed droplets all over the interior side window. We both immediately thought this must a way for ebola to spread through bodily fluids too, and had a conversation about it.
But it could happen. Precautions aren't always enough.
 
That's exactly what the CDC says, so yes, that is one way it spreads. Someone earlier said the "droplet" comment was removed from the cdc site so I don't know, but I think it also said that it can survive like 12 hours?? I could be wrong about that. But then if someone was to touch the area (if it wasn't disinfected) and then say they picked up food and ate with unwashed hands, I think that could spread it. I believe Influenza, as well as other communicable diseases are spread the same way.

No matter how news agencies, government agencies, or anyone else wants to "play down" the Ebola virus, it is serious, and we need to pay attention. Someone who should have been on their toes about people coming and going from a plagued area, are not doing their job. If this dies down, which I know we are all hoping/praying for that, then I think we should take it as a near miss, and learn a lesson. Yeah, I know the chances of that happening. It doesn't seem like we learn very well from our mistakes.
 
I don't know what is going to happen with EBOLA but EBOLA has been around for many years and was easily contained. South Africa, the US and other countries weaponized it now is this the weaponized version because it seems harder to control. Obama said this is a trial run whatevery he meant by that.
 
Thanks for mentioning this Doug, I wanted to hear the whole thing so I googled it. I think it would have been better for him to say it's a "wake the hell up call" and start getting things right the first time. But I guess we all would be "abnormal" if we started doing things that way.
