For starters, there is no office of the First Lady. It is not constitutional.

eaglechild: When an infection does occur in humans, the virus can be spread in several ways to others. The virus is spread through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with

a sick person's blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen)
objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected body fluids
infected animals

OP

Do you know what is airborne?
Please stop spreading wrong info.

http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/

How do you explain this statement?

asual contact is defined as a) being within approximately 3 feet (1 meter) or within the room or care area for a prolonged period of time (e.g., healthcare personnel, household members) while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment

Ebola travels through air but it needs prolonged exposure for it to infect the host, because the virus is fragile. Most of it would die off before it gets to its host. Don't write off the possibility of this virus. Do not under-estimate it. That is the mistake the initial health workers made. The avoided direct contact but still the virus got them. Why? because the under-estimated it. The government does not want to cause panic, that is why they are writing off airborne. But denying a fact doesn't make it less of a truth. Information is the key.

This is new information. The relevant authorities should take note. The more we know, the more we can do to stop the spread of this wicked virus. No atom of information should be hidden from the public.

[size=14pt]Case Definition for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)[/size]

Early recognition is critical for infection control. Healthcare providers should be alert for and evaluate any patients suspected of having EVD.
Person Under Investigation (PUI)

A person who has both consistent symptoms and risk factors as follows: 1) Clinical criteria, which includes fever of greater than 38.6 degrees Celsius or 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and additional symptoms such as severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or unexplained hemorrhage; AND 2) Epidemiologic risk factors within the past 21 days before the onset of symptoms, such as contact with blood or other body fluids or human remains of a patient known to have or suspected to have EVD; residence in—or travel to—an area where EVD transmission is active*; or direct handling of bats, rodents, or primates from disease-endemic areas.
Probable Case

A PUI who is a contact of an EVD case with either a high or low risk exposure (see below).
Confirmed Case

A case with laboratory confirmed diagnostic evidence of ebola virus infection.
Contacts of an EVD Case

Contacts of an EVD case have different levels of exposure risk, as follows:
High risk exposures

A high risk exposure includes any of the following:

Percutaneous, e.g. the needle stick, or mucous membrane exposure to body fluids of EVD patient
Direct care or exposure to body fluids of an EVD patient without appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
Laboratory worker processing body fluids of confirmed EVD patients without appropriate PPE or standard biosafety precautions
Participation in funeral rites which include direct exposure to human remains in the geographic area where outbreak is occurring without appropriate PPE

Low risk exposures

A low risk exposure includes any of the following

Household member or other casual contact1 with an EVD patient
Providing patient care or casual contact1 without high-risk exposure with EVD patients in health care facilities in EVD outbreak affected countries*

No known exposure

Persons with no known exposure were present in an EVD outbreak affected country* in the past 21 days with no low risk or high risk exposures.

1 Casual contact is defined as a) being within approximately 3 feet (1 meter) or within the room or care area for a prolonged period of time (e.g., healthcare personnel, household members) while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment (i.e., droplet and contact precautions–see Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations); or b) having direct brief contact (e.g., shaking hands) with an EVD case while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment (i.e., droplet and contact precautions–see Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations). At this time, brief interactions, such as walking by a person or moving through a hospital, do not constitute casual contact.

* Outbreak affected countries include Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Lagos, Nigeria, as of 4-August-2014

A new study suggests the origin of the
worldwide Ebola outbreak was a two-
year-old African boy who passed away
last year.

A toddler in Africa may have started the
Ebola outbreak, which the World Health
Organisation has now delcared an
international public health emergency,
according to research published in
The New England Journal of
Medicine .
The two-year-old boy identified as
Patient Zero died on 6 December 2013
in a village in Guéckédou in southeastern
Guinea in Africa. The region borders
Sierra Leone and Liberia, making it an
ideal entry point for an epidemic.
There have since been at least 1,779 cases
of the disease, as Denise Grady and
Sheri Fink explain in The New
York Times , and 961 deaths - including
the boy's mother, sister and grandmother.
At the time of their deaths, no one was
sure what had sickened the family, despite
the fever, vomiting and diarrhoea
characteristic of the disease, so no special
procedures were put into place when it
came to treating them. And, within a few
weeks, the study shows that contaminated
healthcare workers who had supported the
family and mourners at their funerals
then spread the disease to surrounding
villages and hospitals. By early March it
had appeared across southern Guinea.
Cases have now been reported in
Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The international team of researchers
managed to trace the disease's origins by
looking at the way the new strain spread
through Africa. Although the toddler and
his family were never officially diagnosed
with Ebola, their symptoms match the
disease and, according to The New
York Times , "fit into a pattern of
transmission that included other cases
confirmed by blood tests".
However, the scientists still aren't sure
how the boy would have caught Ebola in
the first place.
Sylvain Baize, part of the team that
analysed the Guinea outbreak and a
researcher at the Pasteur Institute in
Lyon, France, told Grady and Fink
at The New York Times that there
might have been an earlier undiscovered
case prior to the young boy.
“We suppose that the first case was
infected following contact with bats,”
Blaize said . “Maybe, but we are not
sure.”
So how did this Ebola outbreak get so
out of control, when we've generally been
able to get a hold of them quite quickly in
the past? Grady and Fink explain it's a
combination of a lack of infrastructure
and hygiene, increased travel and
modernisation in Africa, and the fact that
healthcare workers in West Africa
simply weren't prepared to deal with the
disease, and didn't know the symptoms.

so Zmapp is not really a cure? wahala dey!

omenka: He's unwell, and you are as strong and as healthy as Randy Orton, or do I say, Lebron James (since he's been voted the fittest athlete in the world), yet you can NEVER attain his status in 10 lifetimes including 20 reincarnations!!!

It is not a curse, it is a statement of FACT!!!

you mean his achievement of thievery, deciet abd godfatherism? I think id pass! please next time you seek him, ask him to deduct 100 naira from your 1500 naira salary to get himself a toothbrush! Trust me, it would do him a world of goods! by the way, I heard oral B is best for old men, thank me later!

highmey:
Na waoooh... Is this man on drugs?
He looks older than his age, like he's sick.

Well, congratulations to them.

Somebody hand this niqqa a brush!!

A few people online are criticizing President Jonathan for allowing himself to be placed at the back row of this pic taken at the recently concluded US-Africa summit in D.C. Some say its disrespectful as he is the leader of the 'Giant of Africa'. But some argue that it really doesn't matter as long as he was recognized and invited.

What do you think? Is there really anything wrong with him standing at the back row?

One thing you cant take away from this man is his humility amidst timidity.

Ubenedictus: the catholic church has always had a prayer for the jews in some liturgy. I think if you read the prayer well it is actually a prayer for their conversion, it has nothing to do with the war.


I think since world war ii (inclusive), the catholic church has maintained a war neutral status in conflicts, we pray for peace in wars, we don't support one side.

Why the jews in particular? is anything special about them?

Africa is under siege! and we don't even know it yet!

mazaje: ^^

Where was your condemnation when George Bush lied to the world and told the world that his god told him to invade and kill over half a million people?. . .

Dude, yu are very stuupid! Goerge Bush kolled people! both christians anf muslims!

As a lay faithful, our bulletin of today asked us to pray for the jews in their struggles, that they should remain steadfast to the promise! This didn't sound right to me at all! so I want to ask, is the catholic church supporting the jews against gaza

MiguelMi6: Some have misplaced priorities,others just enjoy what they have,its part of their rewards.The Bible makes it known that Jesus wasn't poor,he could afford the very best fleet of ships,he could afford to make reservations for the upper chamber-a mordern day presidential suite,lhis garments was even prophesied to be beautiful and priceless for the centurions to cast a lot for its possession.This is just a few,the Bible can tell you more.

I think extravagancy of some of them is the major problem,they flourish instead of rendering back to their flock.His Holiness Pope Bergoglio is trying so hard to show true virtues of leadership,a first ever for any Pope-Members first above your own needs and care.Christ exhibited that.

okay

cosmatika: Cheating ON a test? snoop I gakwara school?

[quote author=Sincere9gerian][/quote]you mean now you can now lie and manifacture figures like okonjo is doing? Economy is growing yet things keep getting harder for the poor! hlthe cost of living keep increasing!
