Time to pack up and head to the Yukon.

The cdc is spreading lies about Ebola.
1. It is only spread through direct contact. Obviously it is spread by more than direct contact or missionary doctors and the Dallas nurse would not have caught it.
2. You can only spread Ebola after you show symptoms. Doubtful. If you have the virus and it's replicating in your body then why wouldn't you be able to spread it?
3. Only pharmaceutical drugs can help you. Wrong. Vitamin d, zinc, and selenium help bolster your immune system. Most Americans are deficient in at least one. Give yourself the best chance you can.
4. This is the same strain that infected a few dozen people in 1976. Probably not. Clearly is is more easily spread, since some 8000 people have it. Maybe the strain in 1976 was only spread by direct contact? Well this is worse.

That's some stupid shit woody. We're talking about a highly virulent disease with a 60-90% fatality rate
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
When you have to wear this I'm pretty sure tinfoil hat memes are not appropriate

Yes, it is some really stupid shit. I'm still hoping Vaportrail may answer my questions....
or at least his opinions about the whole ebola stuff.
-
Question for Vaportrail -
If the Ebola virus continues to thrive in Liberia, for example, is it
a legit worry that it will morph into an airborne virus?
Well, another one - take any sweaty lockerroom at some ymca or something....
could the ebola virus be in that sweaty air? On a plane with recycled air and a patient
with ebola starting to cough a lot?
well, I haven't ask any stupid questions for a while......so.....

I can't really give an authoritative answer on these questions (if you asked me about renal function, cardiovascular function, or neuropathies, I'd be your guy). Here's a thread by some experts in the field: http://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/2hy3r9/science_ama_series_ask_your_questions_about_ebola/
There's a few good responses that touch on some of your questions.
/edit here's a thread where they're talking about why it's not spread like influenza

WHO: 10,000 new Ebola cases per week could be seen

.
GENEVA (AP) — A World Health Organization official says there could be up to 10,000 new cases of Ebola per week within two months.
WHO assistant director-general Dr. Bruce Aylward says if the response to the Ebola crisis isn't stepped up within 60 days, "a lot more people will die" and there will be a huge need on the ground to deal with the spiraling numbers of cases. He said WHO estimated there could up to 10,000 cases per week in two months.
Aylward said for the last four weeks, there have been about 1,000 new cases per week, though that figure includes suspected, confirmed and probable cases.
He said WHO is aiming to have 70 percent of cases isolated within two months to reverse the outbreak.

The cdc has admitted in an offhand way that the disease is spread by more than direct contact. Catching the disease by touching your protective gear that has touched the fluids of an infected person is indirect contact. Clearly the virus stays active outside of the human body for longer than a few seconds.
-
That's not so different than the infected person sneezing in the bathroom of an airplane and the next person coming into contact with it is it?

The post isn't in response to its fatality rate...
... It's in response to all of the crack pot theories regarding Obama, Ebola, guns, ISIS, Mexicans, etc etc etc.

Does anyone know if the virus can stay active for substantial periods of time outside of the body in temperate climates during winter? In other words will a bad winter help keep the virus from spreading into the Midwest?

Traditionally harsh winter conditions damp down viral activities except that people are often in closer proximity being indoors.

It's not crackpot to believe Africans are going to head for a place they believe they can get better medical conditions by any means necessary carrying the virus with them
-
Which prompts me to ask, am I being over-the-top reactionary in thinking that it's time
to ban flights from Liberia, Nigeria, etc. from landing in the U.S. until they start to get
a handle on this?

Riiight, no one is trying to blow this up for political gain. Every article is truth and we're in "big, serious trouble."
You can build your doomsday bunker, I'm going to go about my life. We'll see who ends up better off.

Honesty I hope you are right. No one wants to see an Ebola pandemic. But until officials are honest with the public about the real danger we are all in, the risk of a pandemic is greatly increased because people will not be as careful as they should be. It may already be too late. And yes, flights from west Africa should be banned.
