Keep dreaming that "They" have a fuc1<ing clue what to do. That "They" know how this is and isn't transmitted. That "They" know how long the incubation period is, and whether or not it can be passed on even though the carrier isn't showing symptoms. That "They" know for a fact that this only survives in bodily fluids and won't live long outside of a host.

years ago, I was on a charter coming back from overseas, when we landed htey kept us on the plane . finally after an hour they came on board with stacks of paper and announced there was a "possible" TB carrier 2 rows behind me. Not to worry, go to your DR and get tested. It really gets your attention.

You don't take any chances with something that has a 50-70% kill rate.

That's just insanity. All for a make believe economy that's so fragile it can't withstand a shutdown for the possible sake of HUMANITY.

Sick society we've built...on greed. Perpetuated by radical idiots atm.

but tb can be transmitted a lot easier than ebola. they said she didn't vomit or bleed on the flight, and unlike tb it isn't airborne.

precautionary.
i'd suggest everyone read the 'other info' link on all you need to know about ebola, in which it discusses how it's spread.

Ebola is not transmitted through the air, which makes it much harder to spread than respiratory diseases like the measles, influenza or SARS, Geisbert explained.

Instead, Ebola is spread through body fluids like blood, vomit or saliva. A person has to come into contact with those fluids to risk infection.

“Because it’s not airborne, it would take very close contact with someone who is at an advanced stage of illness to become infected,” Geisbert said.
