Political discussions about everything
#48704
Prime example of politics dictating science. The CDC had to change their Ebola page because it conflicted with Obama's promise to Americans you can't catch Ebola by riding on a bus with a person who has it.

“The CDC said it doesn’t spread at all by air, then Friday they came out with this poster,” she said. “They admit that these particles or droplets may land on objects such as doorknobs and that Ebola can be transmitted that way.”

Dr. Rossi Hassad, a professor of epidemiology at Mercy College, said droplets could remain active for up to a day.

“A shorter duration for dry surfaces like a table or doorknob, and longer durations in a moist, damp environment,” Hassad said.

The CDC did not respond to a request for comment.

Several colleges have been doing research for years on air transmission of Ebola, so it is apparently very far from certain that it cannot be transmitted that way.

Just one month ago -- one month! -- the head of the CDC claimed any hospital anywhere in America could easily treat Ebola with just one private room/bath.

Why, then, do nurses need Hazmat suits and double gloves?

If someone gets infected by touching your spit on a on doorknob doesn't count as an airborne transmission.

Airborne infection occurs when you inhale the aerosol of a person who is infected with, say, influenza. Why? because the flu is a respiratory illness, therefore it's readily transmitted via an aerosol.

So Elk, let me get his straight, if someone sneezes on you can't Ebola but if you touch a door knob they sneezed on you can?

And from the amount of crap he's spewing, and it being completely out of control, I think we have Voyeurweb's first case of Ebola.


Someone notify the CDC so they can lock this place down and isolate this dimwit from healthy society.
