Due to the vast numbers of people on these watch lists they'll have to put them all in specially designated area. FEMA camps comes to mind. And probably just like those Canadian Indian schools, the highly suspected cases will be placed in the same rooms with those who didn't have a chance of getting it before they refused the vaccine. yep |

[link to www.wnd.com] Did they also say that the other 2 percent may never show symptoms because they have taken the vaccine or got blood transfusion from those who are immune to Ebola? If they are immune to symptoms, that doesn't necessarily mean that they can't transmit the disease. It means that they are now much stronger than the other 98 percent. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 63837166 United States 10/14/2014 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Convenient timing that they change the 2-21 days to 2-42 It's been 21 days since Thomas Duncan went to the hospital with symptoms. (Sept 24). Nobody wore protective gear during this visit. He was at the hospital again (second time) - sept 26....19 days ago. Certainly, medical staff worked with him without protective gear before they considered him contagious. Before they suited up, many people (and surfaces) would've been exposed Now they're saying 42 days (yeah, I understand percentages) But they also said 70 people were in contact with Thomas Duncan and could be (statistically) exposed. Ok, let's do the math - 95% of people exposed (70) show symptoms within 2-21 days. 95% X 70 = 66.5 Therefore, 66 people (of the 70 exposed) should be showing symptoms of Ebola today if they actually caught the virus. Considering how contagious this germie is, how is it that the only person positive for Ebola thus far is a lady in full protective gear? Btw, they originally said most people show symptoms within 10-12 days of being exposed....so more people should've been showing symptoms by now. Even if only 25% show symptoms within 10-12 days, we should've had 17-18 people with symptoms and positive Ebola tests by now |

There's no exception to incubation period of symptoms based on hygiene or diet If you caught the influenza virus, you would get the flu within 1-3 days. If a homeless person caught the influenza virus, he'd get the flu within 1-3 days. Now, if they didn't catch it all, based on hygiene and diet, then we are dealing with something very different than the very contagious Ebola virus that requires massive PPE. |

There is no fucking outbreak. Ebola hits about 1000 people per year, all in Africa. It is transmitted from eating dead and contaminated meat infected with the virus. It is not airborne. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down. The only thing you have to fear out of this is the government response.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63070960 Ebola situation assessment - 14 October 2014 Incubation period The period of 42 days, with active case-finding in place, is twice the maximum incubation period for Ebola virus disease and is considered by WHO as sufficient to generate confidence in a declaration that an Ebola outbreak has ended. Recent studies conducted in West Africa have demonstrated that 95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval. WHO is therefore confident that detection of no new cases, with active surveillance in place, throughout this 42-day period means that an Ebola outbreak is indeed over. [link to www.who.int] An ebola outbreak perhaps would be over for the time being, but seeing as there would still be 2% of those that haven't begun showing symptoms yet then it means the threat for the outbreak to start up again in the future is a very real possibility. Yup, depending on the number of total infections. With the current 8,000 infected, that's 160 people walking around who can go infectious at any time. |

That 2% number is almost certainly a guess, based on a combination of incomplete empirical data + generic virus models. But based on ebola's known behavior, it almost certainly creates "typhoid marys". |
