Expert Posts: 4121 Location: SE Louisiana	Nevertooold - 2014-10-12 3:17 PM Sounds like the perfect storm for Obama to declare Marshall Law. I've had a bad gut feeling about him trying to do something to derail the November elections. Call me a nutty old lady...Whoever thought our world would turn upside down like it has since he has taken office? I poo pooed the idea last year when folks were talking about that... I could not imagine a way that could happen, but I was thinking the same thing just a few hours ago.

Cold hands and Warm Heart Location: oklahoma	SG. - 2014-10-12 12:25 PM Droplets , airborne. same freaking different to us lay people. you sneeze or cough and droplets come out. that is airborne in my mind. Maybe not the quote technical definition but dang sure traveled through the air!!!!! and landed. Nurse didnt have sex with duncan. She did her job and is now paying the price for a selfish man that said he was coming to the US because he knew he would get care here. Yes that was selfish to endanger us. And dont get me started on eobolama I've said the same thing and besides that, why would anyone believe anything the cdc says? Just another govt agency that's as transparent as the others.

My sis and I were talking about that and how every time there's a chance, he diverts attention while his dirty hands are in nan other pot cooking up his agenda. Nothing is as it seems.

Hummmmmm. This article was dated August 5, 2014. Two months ago and the airborne part is still being down played. I'd read that it was airborne too as it's a virus like the flu. Besides, why would they need hazmat suits if it weren't? On another note, it's disgusting as humans to put others at risk. His children all went to school and college after being exposed. Hoping no innocent people lose their life because of it. Given the fact that his "sphere of contact" was so broad (all of the passengers while traveling, his family, his family's day-to-day contacts like their school/work environment) and only ONE person has come down with the virus has actually been pretty remarkable and should speak to the communicability of the disease. He was in a small apartment vomitting, having diarrhea, probably sweating profusely on the couch/beds/etc -- all those bodily secretions that you know SOMEBODY had to have come into contact with and not one of them tested positive (unless there is some sort of cover up to avoid hysteria)? Plus, everyone is just assuming this was a nurse, right? I keep seeing "she" this and "she" that. We don't even know if it was from his initial ER visit when he was sent home (again, all those patients in the ER he came into contact with. Someone sat in his sweaty waiting room chair, triage chair, etc) or if it was after he was diagnosed.

I heard on the radio this morning it was a nurse and there was some suspicion that it was related to the procedures when they are taking OFF the hazmat suits. I live in the area too.

Is it a nurse? I mean, it makes sense since nurses would be handling all the bodily secretions but haven't seen where it's been confirmed.

I Prefer to Live in Fantasy Land Posts: 64864 Location: In the Hills of Texas	DALLAS – The Texas nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for the first person to die of the virus in the U.S. has been identified as 26-year-old Nina Pham.Health officials have not released the nurse’s name, but Yahoo News identified Pham through public records and a state nursing database. Then on Monday, Pham’s family confirmed her identity to USA Today, the publication reported. Pham, a critical care nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, is one of at least 50 people who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, who died last Wednesday. Pham has been in isolation since late Friday. The CDC confirmed her Ebola diagnosis on Sunday. It is the first time the deadly virus has ever been transmitted in the United States. The Dallas resident is a 2010 graduate of Texas Christian University and has been a nurse since June 2010, according to state records.

Famous for Not Complaining Posts: 8848 Location: Broxton, Ga	The history of Ebola shows us that the virus up to this point has been very specific to hot African countries, which makes a lot of people come to the inaccurate conclusion that Ebola thrives in hot climates, which simply is not the case. Ebola, much like other aerosol transmittable viruses, tends to be many times more transmittable during the cold dry months of winter, something up to this point hasn’t been openly seen with Ebola, since it has never been spread outside of Africa. Not only can the Ebola virus survive in both a liquid & dried state for several days in room temperature outside of a host, but as the temperature goes down, the virus thrives even more, becoming able to survive outside of a host (again in both liquid or dried states) for even longer (becoming indefinitely stable at -70C). http://therawfeedlive.com/viruses-including-ebola-survive-much-longer-are-many-times-more-transmittable-in-cold-weather/
