GentleMimi:
Lol! Relax,bro. I have so much confidence that the late Libarian man is the first and last case of Ebola that will ever be heard in Nigeria for now. So far,all medical staff who handled him are not showing any symptom since 20th-25th contact period.
It is not airborne,fact. But it can be trnasmitted via open cuts/abrasions or mucus membranes e.g mouth. Though research has not determined the mode of contraction in totality. So if u've got a skin opening and get in contact with an infected sweat,yes u can contract ebola
The time duration is a maximum of 21 days. If after this and u have no symptom,then u are declared free..
Showing sypmtoms depends on the immune system. Some start showing as late as seven days,others as early as 48hrs. It usually begins with high fever,aches,weakness,nausea. The disease progresses with speed.
It is treated ''symptomatically'. The virus has no cure,but it can be prevented from spreading.
If the patient survives after 21 days without organ complications,he builds up immunity to the virus and he's home FREE!

@ dozzybaba,sure thing. Bless u too.

ifyn4real: US STATE DEPARTMENT EBOLA ALERT
In order to help our Embassy Community better understand some key points about Ebola virus we consulted with our medical specialists at the U S State Department & assembled this list below, worded in plain language for easy understanding.
• The suspected reservoirs for Ebola are fruit bats.

• Transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats. Undercooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat transmits the virus to humans.

• Human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from Ebola virus or their body fluids.

• Transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.

• The virus is easily killed by contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.

• A person can incubate the virus without symptoms for 2-21 days, the average being 5-8 days before becoming ill. THEY ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill.

• Only when ill does the viral load express itself first in the blood and other bodily fluids (e.g vomit, feaces, urine,breast milk, semen and sweat).

• If you are walking around you are not infectious to others. • There r documented cases from Kikwit, DRC of an Ebola outbreak in a village that had the custom of children never touching an ill adult.Children living for days in one room huts with parents who died from Ebola did not become infected

. • You cant contract Ebola by handling money or swimming in a pool.

•There's no medical reason to stop flights,close borders, restrict travel or close embassies,businesses or schools.

• Always practice good hand washing techniques,you will not contract Ebola if you do not touch a dying person.
Pls share this information & try not to spread panic on social media.Stay Safe & WellHappy Eid.

Princepioneer: thats why i love nairaland, niccky thanks for that! I still maintain that the man was paid to undertake that journey... To the extent that a whole Ambassado had whether type A or B contact with him? Hmmmmm

Otunbakay: I cover this land (Nigeria) with the blood of Jesus.
Every EBOLA VIRUS die by fire on arrival in Jesus mighty name. Amen!




Our land is GREEN! Ebola shall not wither it.

Rilwayne001: “Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick and ensure that objects used by the sick are decontaminated and properly disposed because fluids from an infected person are extremely dangerous,”

caseless: Trust lagos gov't, they're ontop of the situation already.
