"WHO further disclosed that the incubation period for the current strain of Ebola could be longer than 21 days, meaning some people infected with the virus might not show symptoms until later than previously reported.

“Recent studies conducted in West Africa have demonstrated that 95 percent of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of one to 21 days; 98 percent have an incubation period that falls within the one to 42 day interval," the WHO report disclosed."

increase the quarantine periods!

Just do it morans!
 Quoting: Astral Goat


Those that aren't vaccinated and have been put on the ebola 'watch list' would probably have to be quarantined for at least a year i would have thought - that's if you want to be absolutely safe from infections spreading in the slightest.

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63914090


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.

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.

Re: BREAKING: WHO admits the incubation period for this strain can be longer than 21 days
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

In regards to your comment I wouldn't be surprised if some of these individuals do go past 21 days before they show symptoms, the reason being is because unlike Africa we live a better lifestyle in regards to food and medicine.

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.

And its all a giant fucking hoax and the stupid morons on this site are lapping this bullshit up. 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.

The other possibility is that the remaining 2 percent have asymptomatic infections. Hard to tell if asymptomatic infections are contagious.



Are the Ebola outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal over?

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]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63070960


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63914090



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".
