Thomas Eric Duncan! Is #Ebola virus in the Dallas, Texas, US now? Can it be spread?

[hannah]

#ThomasEricDuncan is a man who was coming from #Liberia went to a #Dallas emergency room last week but was sent home. After he had been diagnosed federal health officials tracked anyone who had close contact with him after he fell ill on Sept. 24. The group of 12 to 18 people included three members of the ambulance crew that took the man to the hospital and a handful of schoolchildren.
But are there more, what about those people, who they have connected with? Can the virus be spread this way to the country? edition.cnn.com/.../index.html?hpt=hp_t1

All this guy has to do is sneeze in a movie theatre, or a city bus or at a restaurant. Ebola is transmitted through any bodily fluids including saliva. You get droplet of his saliva in your eye or mouth or breathe it in, and you could be infected. I think we should be taking this very seriously. Too much laid back attitude, "ignore it and it will go away" mentality. So far for the people of Africa this has been unstoppable. How many of their own top experts have become infected and died themselves because of this? Yet, we continue to let idiot assholes travel there totally unrestricted to an area that is brewing the most dangerous disease in human history. He comes back and infects 5 people, then they infect 5, and so on and on.

No, not the way the fear-mongers like Fox News would have you believe.

Ebola simply isn't a threat worth getting your knickers in a bunch over.
It isn't airborne. It only has a 70% mortality rate. And America understands the concept of quarantine in a way that African people don't seem to.

Right now the only effective quarantine is to 100% restrict travel to and from that area. But, I guess if we just ignore it, it should go away, right?

Spoken like a true idiot self-appointed expert - I'm surprised you're not a talking bobble-head on Fox already. Tell you what, find a way to blame Obama and Healthcare for this, and you've got yourself a job.

Idiot.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

Yeah just don't share food items and avoid sick people and bodily fluids

[maroonbro]

Nope. non of the people he'd been in contact with showed symptoms. so they can't spread it even If they are infected

[truthbeknown]

It take up to three weeks for anything to show up.
