The article states that the probability of Ebola going airborne is very low, but the possibility is still there. We can't and shouldn't rule that out.

If this virus does go airborne what should be America's response? Military? Quarantine? Close the docks and borders? End or limit travel?

Ground all flights, maybe?

I know. That's why I keep my dog inside. Don't want to risk rabies going airborne. Also I avoid all people, because HIV will be going airborne any day now.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I'm going to take some of these if it does.

Regardless what happens Ebola is going to be with us for a long time. The economic ramifications from the fear alone is going to be huge.

 

[z1ggy]

Lol... and Mai has given in to the media fear mongering.

OH noeEeezzzZz, we all getting the Ebola!!!!!!!!

Going airborne? I've seen this movie and the ending isn't pretty.

My wife has given into the fear mongering. I'm planning on going to Dallas next month to meet up with some friends and she is freaking out because "that is where the ebola is"....
At that point I just looked her right in the eye, said she was stupid, and walked out of the room.

Continue with normal, everyday activities.

Well maybe she just assumed you were going to go to the Dallas hospital where that guy and nurse were and roll around in the bed sheets that he slept on...?!?! Did you even ask her?!?? Gosh dude.

i'm sure they'll keep bringing people stateside and pretend like they have a protocol that works

HIV is semi-airborne through mosquito and other insect bites. I suspect Ebola is also. :awe:

 

[DannyBoy]

You're millions times more likely to do from Influenza than Ebola and that one is airborne.

Oh shut the hell up with the damn facts. This is a paranoia tinfoil hat thread.

Ya. No

Why HIV isn't transmitted through insect bites.

 

[Sheep221]

Ebola doesn't last long in the air, neither does HIV.

Says that it takes 2 hours to digest the AIDS virus. I suspect in the 2 hour period, Mosquitos are nothing more than AIDS infected flying hypodermic needles. :'(

Oh yeah, sorry.

Yes, Ebola will kill us all eventually.

 

[highland145]

Better than the dabeetus or lupus, imo.

I suspect that you're much, much more likely to die from spousal murder than from Ebola.

In fact the former isn't looking that unlikely at all.

 

[Jaepheth]

What if Ebola goes cyberborne?

I don't want to catch Ebola from my ongoing correspondence with a Nigerian Prince with whom I'm negotiating a money laundering scheme!

 

[rudder]

You watch too many movies. The particular type of virus which makes up Ebola does not mutate in that way.
