anitank: But the Liberian man said he didn't come in contact with an Ebola patient nor go to the funeral of one, he's not even a health worker.

Even the doctors who handled Ebola patients dressed like they were going to the moon, yet got infected and died. I sincerely pray and hope that man hadn't transmitted it to someone else in lagos. That would be the only form of prevention for outbreak in Nigeria

viuche: 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 U S 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.

• 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 the 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 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.

• 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.

• You cannot contract Ebola by handling money, buying local bread or swimming in a pool.

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

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

• US EMBASSY
Please share this information with your friends and families and try not to spread panic on social media.

Thanks

whatlyf: I thought you are open to learn. no time for argument

anitank:
On the contrary, I'm always open to learn. Just that I remember the man was asked earlier and he said otherwise, must have missed that part. Forgive me for being a strong head and thanks

I don't understand this;closing Airports in my Opinion,is a very necessary Measure.

No vex Brother,go stand for Airport dey welcome every Visitor from Liberia,Sierra Leone & co.

This is a Disease that has no Cure,and that kills almost everyone who catches it...it's beyond a Matter of my Country or not my Country; if it's allowed to spread beyond its present Confines,it will progressively become more difficult to contain and threaten the whole World.
