Ah yes. Thank you for the enlightenment. In other words, unless you work in a mushroom farm and surrounded by African natives you are never at risk of contracting it. Good to know.
Im just gonna kick back in my e-z chair with a beer and watch the show for the next six months or so. If you're right you get to say "I told you so". If you're wrong, then what?

Not to worry, they are handing out leaflets to all incoming Africa passengers at the Atlanta airport. See, everything under control.

You are right, but unless the exposure takes place indoors any temperature below 50 F vastly reduces its ability to attach to other organisms at the cellular level, it goes dormant at 0 C and is still vulnerable to UV which does not have to have high frequencies to kill it, it just takes a few seconds longer, assuming it is not a hardened, weaponized bug (USARIIM)

Served with fava beans and a fine Chianti...

Probably tastes somewhere between Iguana and Ostrich...

After INS, USBP, and CDCR letting ebola into their state, I wouldn't be surprised if Texas would, given the opportunity, secede and close their borders.

Intended end game. Point to you. Game, set, match.

Only a few seconds of direct sunlight *where there is significant amount of UV radiation* will kill it.

Most parts of North America (and the rest of the world) suffer from a lack of intense UV in the fall, winter, and early spring.

Not saying the rest of what you said is bad or wrong (or right), just making that point.

Ebola IS airborne, is expected to be more infectious in the Northern Hemisphere winter and DOES have a solution. http://drrimatruthreports.com/another-eb...

Will not make a difference! Buffet, Gates and a few others are running things. Welcome to the Dark Ages.

The only policy solution I can recommend is to put a real President in charge.

In the last paragraphs I offered means by which anyone can defend himself.

Well aside from the fact that Obama doesn't have a clue, the article you've posted is interesting, but offers no real solution. Ebola and six other hemorrhagic fevers all have a very variable initial presentation, between 3 and 21 days with outliers going to thirty days, only Marburg has a short term presentation of less than 7 days (According to the Army Medical Scientists at Ft. Detrick, Published in Chem. Corps' FM's.).
The reason you have a Pandemic in Africa is because of the lack of good, qualified hospital and medical facilities, and the inability of the people to get to them.
If a 'Lock Down' embargo becomes necessary, which it probably will not, our environment in the US. is hostile to the viral germ, the Secretary of Homeland Security will recommend one and the president will impose it, but it is unlikely to be necessary.

Malaria and the Flu kill so many more people per year in the world (and the US) than Ebola has that it is just staggering.
Wash your hands and correctly use DDT....

Not if he's the President and refuses to ban incoming flights from the affected region in Africa, and otherwise interferes with good containment protocols.

I have to recommend certain preventative measures that landed on my console.

Certain scientific skills are required, the likely transgressor you describe would just catch it themselves.

Hi Jan, Thanks for the new info, I was using 2007 AMED statistics (UNClass) from FT Detrick, neither CDC or WHO (Which I don't trust, because they adjust counts in to many countries for political reasons. i.e. the HIV Pandemic in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, which if unstopped will destroy the sovereignty of two of the three.) The Army Chemical Corp has more accurate numbers that are classified, but are worse by an order of magnitude in certain circumstances.

It's a shame he died so young--his research and understanding of the political and scientific, of human nature and the fact that there is real evil and there is real good, that duty and responsibility are necessary to any successful endeavor no matter how big or small have made him into a future seer. His accuracy is downright amazing--and if the streak continues, we are in for a REALLY bad time very soon...

I haven't read that one yet. Another to add to my book list..

hi pirate--how about Tom Clancy's Executive Orders? I just finished reading it again, just because of the plot to spread Ebola maringa strain (a possible airborne) to the USA. He wrote this thing quite a few years ago, yet it reads like today's headlines.

I can't wait.

ours is now in minniepuck's hands. :) beta testing almost complete

Thanks. I've got to get book 2 done.

snort. congrats on another satisfied reader :)

I've stopped grooming altogether. Sure cuts down on those annoying interruptions from other people while I'm trying to write.

Your husband must be a happy man.

hazmat for eating out of cans. that makes sense about the monkeys. I've got to stop grooming myself that way. :)
