Ebola Alert From US State Department: All You Need To Know. by Valfrankie(m): 1:15pm On Jul 29, 2014
I was browsing through the net and came across this report written by the US Embassy and thought to share. Remember this Ebola virus of a thing has been trending of late and it poses serious danger to all our existence, hence the need to acquire as much knowledge about it as possible. This article might ease your worries, (words in brackets are mine and not part of the original article) please read on! "In order to help our Embassy
Community better understand
some of the key points about the
Ebola virus we have consulted with
our medical specialists at the US State Department and assembled
this list of bullet points worded in
plain language for easy comprehension. Our medical
specialists remind everyone that
they should be following the
guideline from the center for
Disease Control and the World
Health Organisation.

• The suspected reservoirs for
Ebola are fruit bats. (who even eats bat, shey meat done finish, ni? Some People sef)

* Transmission to humans is
thought to originate from infected
bats or primates that have
become infected by bats. (sadsadsadsadsad)

• Undercooked infected bat and
primate (bush) meat transmits the
virus to humans. (cook your meat very well and enjoy, but remove bats and apes from your diet for now)

• Human to human transmission
is only achieved by physical
contact with a person who is
acutely and gravely ill from the
Ebola virus or their body fluids. (Emphasis on GRAVELY and ACUTELY ILL)

• Transmission among humans is
almost exclusively among
caregiver family members or
health care workers tending to the
very ill. (thats probably why health workers are more succinct to get infected. Mr. Sawyer was a Health worker, remember? Ok read on)

• 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. (sounds like more reason why you should take personal hygiene very serious)

• 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. (Don't Discriminate, just apply caution while dealing with infected people)

• Only when ill does the viral load
express itself first in the blood
and then in other bodily fluids (to
include vomit, feces, urine, breast
milk, semen and sweat).

• If you are walking around you
are not infectious to others. (STOP PANICKING!!!)

• There are 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 small one room huts with
parents who died from Ebola did
not become infected. (APPLY CAUTION IN THIS INSTANCE)

• You cannot contract Ebola by
handling money, buying local
bread or swimming in a pool.(this one doesn't need explanation. Arrange your money neatly in your wallet or purse. Stop putting money directly in your pocket, its not healthy)

• There is no medical reason to
stop flights, close borders, restrict
travel or close embassies,
businesses or schools. (refer to point 4,6,7 & 8 above and point below)

• As always practice good hand
washing techniques, but you will
not contract Ebola if you do not
touch a dying person.

•This information is from the US EMBASSY. (but modified by me)
Please share with
your friends and families and stop
spreading panic on the social
media.
ABOVE ALL, PLEASE PRAY FOR MEDICAL DOCTORS WORLDWIDE, THEY ARE CONSTANTLY BEING EXPOSED TO VARIOUS HEALTH HAZARDS.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

I entered a cab today and I became embarassed with myself when I unconsciously caught myself eyeing the driver with caution. I felt so stupid with myself later for even entertaining such thoughts.

Nice one OP! Much information is needed bout this 'monster' in other to calm a lot of frayed nerves.

This is good. However, I will advise you all not to let down your guards! God help us all.

A link to the original source would greatly help in a matter like this. I'm sure many people are wondering about the "...not infectious until gravely ill..." part. On which authority is the adviser speaking? Help us with link(s) oooooo biko

*edited*I just checked WHO Global Alert and Responses page on Ebola here www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/faq-ebola/en/ and there is nothing to indicate at what stage the disease becomes contagious.

This outbreak of Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD) is to warn us of the
imminent plague that is coming to
earth. Howbeit it has no cure? or
even treatment? A word they say is
enough for the wise. Wisen up!!
this a sign that the world is at the
end of its existence.
If u are still in sin, repent of them
and forsake them, then u would be
saved by Jesus.
Psalm 55:22; Cast all your cares on
the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous to
be moved.
If u have Jesus, what is EVD? Have
u forgotten what Psalm 91 said?
Live not in the fear of this so called
disease!
Confess ur sins to God with an
humbled spirit; read psalm 51. He
will surely forgive you and count
you among His sons and
daughters.
