Ebola Alert! Must Read! US State Department. by vikkyboboski(m): 1:23am On Aug 08, 2014 |
The US State Department has assembled this list of bullet points worded in plain language for easy comprehension on the Ebola virus. Please READ and be aware: • 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. Continue… • 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, faeces, 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.

"THEY ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill." I'm sorry but i'll have to take the above with a pinch of salt. Aerosols from sneezing and coughing of infected but asymptomatic persons may contain enough Viral load (1-10 virion) to cause infection to other humans. Everyone should get face-mask. 1 Like |

Why are we so scared and nervous? Psalm 91. May the good Lord save us in Jesus name amen. |

psucc: Why are we so scared and nervous?I'm sure many good Christians and Muslims have been left dead in the streets of Liberia after dying of Ebola. Practice good hygiene along with prayers. |
