That's why I brush my teeth with a bottle of jack. I'm ebola free, so it must work.

I believe there is strong evidence that at least on Duncan first visit, the hospital decided he was an African visiting from a poor 3rd world country, so he deserved 3rd world care. They gave him substandard care because he wasn't an american, wasn't white, was 3rd world.

The only strong evidence is that which you invent. Like I said elsewhere when you started this you might be a gay unicorn. I believe there is as strong evidence as you have.

The Dr. in NYC has Ebola but he just returned from Africa. I don't think there's anything to worry about. Should I change the topic title?

I'm tempted to see... My brain says no, everything else says yes.

I have to imagine that's intended for African villages or something and not like doctors offices. I can't imagine it's a common problem in the first world for people to drink chlorine.

Ebola, welcome to New York City. Ugh.

N.Y. doctor positive for Ebola had no symptoms until Thursday, officials say

hm...

New York (CNN) -- One day after New York officials announced a Doctors Without Borders physician had tested positive for Ebola, another person who treated patients in West Africa developed a fever and was put in isolation at a northern New Jersey hospital.

The second health care worker, a woman who hasn't been identified by name, did not have any Ebola symptoms upon arrival Friday at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey health department spokesman Donna Leusner said.

Yet things changed in the hours that followed. According to Leusner, "This evening, the health care worker developed a fever and is now in isolation and being evaluated at University Hospital in Newark."

So HTF does this work? One minute you're 99.4, then 99.5, then 99.6 (still not contagious?), then 100.0, then all of a sudden you're contagious?

Like, at 4:05pm (temp of 99.6) you can spit on someone no problem but you do that at 4:07 pm (temp of 100.0+) and you just spread ebola?

My take is that it's about the population of viruses in your system. Your fever goes up as their numbers increase and the amount you shed in various fluids goes up as well. There's probably some point at which the medical types can statistically say you're likely to be shedding it.

The other thing to remember is that your body temp varies throughout the day. Just because you have a temp of 99.5 doesn't actually mean you are sick with anything.

Hell just eating something hot or cold, taking a shower or working out can change your temperature.

From what little I know of infectious diseases (bla bla, not medical advice), it may be that the viral load becomes "critical" at some point. One single virus may not survive outside the body or be enough to overcome your body's defenses, but enough and you're screwed. The point in time when your body makes enough and lets enough out to screw others, that may be when you're officially "infectious".

That or they're just trying to avoid hysteria or people going crazy.
