I got’ta say, Ramirez does draw better airplanes. But how long will the press and ’toonists be hung up on this theme? How ’bout they take on influenza or one of a hundred or so other diseases more likely to actually kill Americans, acquired right here?
Or take on the theme of too many guns in the hands of too many nuts, or climate change, or Wall St. tomfoolery robbing the public blind, or lung cancer, or obesity, or etc, etc, etc.
Ebola is spread through droplet. The same as TB. Someone can cough or sneeze then touch a door or elevator button and the virus can stay alive as long as the droplets are moist. The CNN camera man did not handle any patients, neither did the Liberian in Dallas. I can understand that the government does not want to cause fear. But Ebola is a lot more contagious than they are telling us. Also, the military who are helping by building tents and caring for patients in Africa are on a 30 day rotation. That, in effect, makes a conveyor belt for disease transmission.
Actually, you’re behind the times. Reported yesterday, medical workers have found that people are contagious well before symptoms present. I don’t know why a culture in which a towel won’t be used twice is in such denial about diseases.
The symptoms for ebola are identical to the flu up until the patient starts bleeding from the eyes and elsewhere. By that time all chances are gone. Incubation time for ebola is about 21 days. So I expect to be reading about some Mexican clean up workers and their family members getting the “flu” in Dallas in about 2 weeks from now. If the cleaning crew have children, then the schools will affected in short order. The only thing the US has going for it is that we have an established water treatment facility. We are capable of cleaning ourselves.
HIV/AIDS, same transmission methodology. Folks have largely gotten over the AIDS panic, and like AIDs, there does appear to be progress in treatment and prevention protocols for Ebola, but in Africa, the culture, and simple ability to deal with isolation etc due to cost, is a different story so far than in the U.S..
Seeing the black tarps in front of the apartment in Dallas, with kids playing right outside, and no move to evacuate the residents of the other apartments in the complex, while “rent a janitor” cleans up demonstrates the actual experts may be more informed than bloggers?
“Why some people DEMAND mass death and suffering I do not know. I have no need for these happenings in my life. But it does seem to be a very popular fantasy.”People want the biblical end times?
2,000 years of folls more dependent on “faith” than science, math, languages, logic or real education waiting for a guy to catch a bus and bring the end of the world, and they’re getting louder today. Interesting they also hate anyone who doesn’t believe what they do, who will of course be destroyed and go straight to Hell, while only THEY will get heaven as their reward. But they aren’t radical or fanatic in their beliefs, right.
