seriously, how do you get infected by ebola?

unless you're frenching kissing the victim, a vampire, or have a scat fetish, you have nothing to worry about.

No. Simply touching sweat off the person is enough. And I am not joking. If you sat down in the same area and there is a skin flake wet with Ebola, you are fucked.

it wont go through your skin on its own, it has to pass through an open wound or you mouth/eyes

Feel secure in knowing our government has this Ebolee virus capably contained, but my recommendation for women is to be checked by a qualified Obie Gynee, just in case.

Simple... if they stay in Liberia they die. If they can afford a plane ticket and lie on their forms... they get into the U.S. healthcare system.

Yeah, there's an epidemic in Africa because every one of them is a vampire.

Yeah if they are in liberia to help the people with Ebola it should be safe to say that they do have the resources to deal with it, so deal with it there, don't bring that shit back to the US. Stupidity like this is how it will end up spreading.

There should not even be any flights coming to the US from Liberia at this point, except for changing flight crew (pilots etc) and even them should have to go through a whole quarantine/checkup session before they go home. I find this is not being taken seriously enough because people just brush it off as being something that's going on in a 3rd world country. Yeah, but if you bring it to North America it will be happening here too!

The good news about Ebola is that the virus itself is physically weak. So basic stuff like washing your hands should protect you.
