Ebola in Europe / US.

[Stephanie]

"Madrid govt to put down Ebola patient's pet dog , as scientific knowledge indicates there is a risk the dog could transmit the virus to humans. "

"Ebola airborne. Easily transmitted atleast within 3 feet. "

"Virus survives on skin."



Spit , snot , phlegm , saliva , sweat , tears even , all infective (in addition of course to blood , semen , vaginal secretions ,

precome , vomitus , urine , feces , etc. )


: Sneeze , cough droplets carry the virus. These droplets can land on you , or on an object that you touch and then

you touch your eyes / mouth.


CDC mandated protective gear not sufficient to prevent transmission of virus.

That gear consists of face masks , goggles / glasses , several layer gloves , gowns etc.

Spanish nurse apparently was in full compliance with requirements , had been in proximity of infected material on

two occasions only , yet got infected.

Now several in quarantine , several dozen under observation.


What next ?



Anyone concerned ?
