What if ebola was airborne?
[link to www.cnn.com]

Ebola is a RNA virus, which means every time it copies itself, it makes one or two mutations. Many of those mutations mean nothing, but some of them might be able to change the way the virus behaves in the human body.

Never got the people who got upset with one star bandits, now I see. Yes, CNN fracking sucks. No, I do not refer to MSM on a regular basis. However, this article is seriously worth a read!

It is airborne.
Look at Patrick Sawyer and the many who have since died because of him.

Look up Saah Exco.

Beware, it will be worldwide.

Re: What if ebola was airborne?
Canadian scientists have shown that the deadliest form of the ebola virus could be transmitted by air between species.

In experiments, they demonstrated that the virus was transmitted from pigs to monkeys without any direct contact between them.

The researchers say they believe that limited airborne transmission might be contributing to the spread of the disease in some parts of Africa.

They are concerned that pigs might be a natural host for the lethal infection.

What we suspect is happening is large droplets - they can stay in the air, but not long, they don't go far. But they can be absorbed in the airway”

Dr Gary Kobinger Public Health Agency of Canada

Ebola viruses cause fatal haemorrhagic fevers in humans and many other species of non human primates.

Details of the research were published in the journal Scientific Reports.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the infection gets into humans through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs and other bodily fluids from a number of species including chimpanzees, gorillas and forest antelope.

The fruit bat has long been considered the natural reservoir of the infection. But a growing body of experimental evidence suggests that pigs, both wild and domestic, could be a hidden source of Ebola Zaire - the most deadly form of the virus.

The Public Health Agency of Canada’s official website also states that “airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated.”

Re: What if ebola was airborne?
over 250 mutations already. So it's airborne. someone with it sneezes and it iscarried in the air. lands on you or a surface and will live 30 days on that surface and incubate for two weeks. better have three-six months of food.

Just beware, this is going global.

Too many flights, sea traffic and international transport to contain.

Remember Saah Exco; strong little man.

That avatar can actually do harm to people with certain medical problems, if I am not mistaken. I'm consulting with others to verify…we might have to change it.
