CDC admits droplets from a sneeze could spread Ebola | New York Post

 

Ebola can last on surfaces for almost TWO months, tests reveal | Daily Mail Online

I would argue that droplets from a sneeze are bodily fluids... Isn't that how they said it could be spread?

Also, how many places inside are below 40 degrees for two weeks at a time, other than a walk in cooler or something similar?

So these infected people who get it and sneeze on a plane/subway infect 10 people, who then infect 100 people, who then infect 1,000 people. but lets just let them come over and walk around and do this.

As far as sneezing goes...I would probably say "duh" to that.

That's what I was going to post. Seems like we already knew that.

No one is disputing that.

Andy Griffith died.

If someone sneezes in your face or mouth, then yes, I suppose you could contract it...

Or on a doorknob and you open the door and then bite your fingernail or scratch your lip, then WHOLAA, you got Ebola.

 

Point is most on here were saying its too hard to catch, etc. Apparently not.

Despite all of the hysteria, let's look at what has happened. The number of people infected in the US from someone walking around with Ebola - ZERO. The number of people who have died from catching Ebola in the US - Zero. The number of people that have caught Ebola in the US - TWO. Both caught it while treating an Ebola patient. Both have now recovered. I saw the head of Doctors without borders on the news yesterday. The number of health care workers in West Africa that have caught Ebola in West Africa is 23. Of those, twenty were locals that are believed to have caught it from sources other than their patients. The response in the US has been very good.

I'm a bit of a germaphobe that hates touching public door handles. If I don't have a napkin in hand while walking into public places, I'll try to grip, and usually with one finger, the handle in the spot that I'd think is the least likely spot the majority has touched it even if it makes me struggle to open the door with the laws of physics working against me.

 

If I'm trapped in the checkout line at the grocery store or something of that sort, it freaks me out to have someone else starting coughing or sneezing in my vicinity.

 

I've been on planes where perhaps a child sitting directly in front of me is having coughing attacks the whole flight while I'm worried that the above air thingy is blowing germs right in my face.

 

I'm always thinking about the fact that where ever I might sit that God only knows who else has sat there too.

 

Public bathrooms freak me out, and I always push the door open with my foot and instantly take a towel before doing anything else and use it every step of the way til I open the door with it to leave then while holding the door open with my shoulder I basketball shoot the towel into the garbage can.

 

I hate to go to hospitals or doctors offices thinking I might just be there to visit someone or have a routine appointment myself just to have labs done, and fear walking away with something serious just by being there.

 

I know a lady who died in the hospital catching MRSA when that's not why she was there to begin with. My sister caught MRSA that ate at her face for a while just because she used to work in a medical facility.

 

I recently got pink eye from who know where and It wasn't fun.

 

At grocery stores I grab wipes before I do anything else.

 

I always keep hand sanitizer with me wherever I go.

 

I'll eat at restaurants but if I get too thinking too hard about it, I start wondering just who originally had touched my food.

 

I'm not so paralyzed by this that I don't leave the house, but am just enough that it's a constant internal battle while I'm out.

 

I try to realize that I've on numerous occasions have been in crowded places and have gotten away unscathed, but a couple of years ago I was squashed amongst a crowd at a sold out show with kids 20 years my junior, and never realized how much 20 somethings emitted such a stink about them. I wondered if it was hormonal and something I hadn't noticed when I was 20 something, or if kids today just don't bathe as regularly as perhaps they used to.

 

Yea... this ebola stuff has me a bit worried...

You can probably catch a large number of diseases, viruses or even the common cold that way also.

Hey Chicken Little, 53,000 people in the U.S. died from the flu last year. Wash your hands and stay out of West Africa.
