[quote:JAZZz50:MV8zOTE3Nzg3XzcwNzI2Njc3X0I0REEyMTU3] so for now if there is an outbreak herewe quaranteen everyone and everything for 30 days. if they ain't sick by then, they should be safe. i can't remember the last data i heard about the virus or germ surviving on surfaces,but thought it said ebola could survive in the cold longer than in warm climates ppl don't realize how far they reach every day.most go to work and see the same ppl .never figuring out that those ppl stop at gas stations and transact with others.let alont the mail they get traveled along with mail from overseas.just paying for gas at a convenient store can mean you "touched" or interacted with over 1000 ppl in the last 24 hrs. by the time news of an outbreak got out from any of the big cities,it would be everywhere.in 24 hrs an outbreak could leave africa and infect all the major airport cities< atlanta,LA,chicago,denver,NYC,DC. within 5 days,the time the CDC would try to cover it up orr ummm investigate, it would be everywhere including most ppl's back yards.

WHO to hold emergency meeting over Congo Ebola outbreak that’s seen 33 cases in past week
The committee of experts may make recommendations to manage the outbreak, which was declared on Aug. 1 and has worsened, with a risk of the virus spreading from northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo into Uganda and Rwanda.
Congo’s health ministry said on Monday that in the past week alone 33 people were confirmed with Ebola virus and 24 of them died.
The ministry said the latest cases were confirmed between Oct. 8 and 14. In total, more than 200 suspected cases of the deadly hemorrhagic fever have been reported in this outbreak, all but a couple of dozen of them confirmed, while some 130 people have died since July.
