Fox News has been showing 24 hour Ebola coverage!

watching FOX news is worse than having Ebola.

Must be rangers then.

Exactly...
Congratulations Highland,
You have just demonstrated that you do not understand what the technical scientific definition of "not airborne" is. You should look it up.

The CDC is using that definition every time they say "not airborne". The CDC knows that laypeople such as yourself do not have a clue what they are technically saying when they use the phrase "not airborne".

Flu viruses are technically not airborne
Your retort was about small droplets containing virus. That is NOT TECHNICALLY AIRBORNE. The infectious virus is in fluid such as saliva... not the air.

Replace flu viruses with Ebola and now you understand the difference between not airborne for flu vs not airborne forEbola... which is to say that there isn't one

Well eff me with a donkey.

I'm still staying off planes as a precaution.

We can almost rule it out. There are many older viruses that haven't gone airborne and they are more common than ebola. This ebola thing is a real ratings machine, so going airborne will be talked about, and since we're talking about it, yeah, it would kill millions if that happened.

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

I got some tinfoil fodder: what if ebola was genetically engineered and then released in africa as a test environment before going to production (first world countries). /JesseVenturavoice

Ebola is already airborne in lab somewhere.

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?

What'll we do?

We'll hire Dustin F'n Hoffman, that's what we'll do.
