So basically you can still catch the disease even if you wear protective gear?

Look, if I get Ebola that means EVERYBODY gets Ebola.

You'll see me hugging, dapping, and back slapping everybody on the street.

I just can't wait to see how this all plays out.

congrats.

I've been on these boards almost a decade and ur ONLY the SECOND person to be put on ignore. What an accomplishment.

On another note, what if a college or pro athlete gets this? :merchant:

That spread would be unstoppable

no it looks like the nurse or who ever was in charge did not make sure the protective clothing was taken of properly.

The suit must be decontaminated before it's taken off

I not a person who is really worried too much about ebola :manny:Becuase in all honesty aint shyt I can do about it anyway so there is no point in stressing.:yeshrug:

However I do wonder how our weather would have an effect, if it did become a larger issue. Especially for those in the north this up coming winter. From everything I've read we are going to have another severly cold/bad (polar vortex) style winter.

1. Can that effect the virus
2. Can that effect the spread of it positive or negative(travel, less people going outside, ect)

See my post above from ATS....they talk about how filovirus are more adept at cooler temperatures, which is why sunlight can kill, but apparently can survive much longer in less warmer temps.

Whats fukked up is that they keep telling us its hard to catch....yet health care workers keep getting it with protective gear. Ok they may have had a slip up....but if its so fukking hard to catch why is it spreading over ONE slipup. They wanna say it doesnt survive on surfaces but it spreads cause the suit wasnt completely decontaminated?? Get all the way the fukk outta here. Obviously shyt aint adding up here and they playing some crowd calming tactics.
