It is no more contagious than any other virus. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59086553 Yes, it can infect mammals such as rats. In Africa it is in large part spread by people eating bushmeat, which are wild animal meats like fruit bats and a large rodent called a cony. I Support Our First Responders |

Quoting: Sun Spot I still live a normal life but for how long I am on the fence about that. Many of us have gotten N100 and more but few wear them, however for now I do not leave my home with out a MARF it is a MAsk in the form of a scaRF. Again only way to avoid it 100% is to live in a bubble. Also if people would cough and sneeze into a MARF instead of their sleeve or worse open air it would reduce the spread of many illnesses. As for the moment we are more likely (in the USA) to catch the flu, as for me and most of us all we can do is improve our chances not to catch something. The nice thing about the MARF it is fashionable too cold climate is obvious to help keep us warm and warm climate even in the air-conditioning it is nice to have a scarf. The MARF also produces negative ions (the good ions) which promote blood circulation so although the MARF can keep you warm it also is comfortable the wear in any climate. I actually wrap it around my waist if I get to warm and it helps with lower back pain too! It is black because carbon is melted into the fibers as is silver, you can even bleach it and it will not fade. I wash mine everyday. How to use it someone coughs or sneezes cover up and walk away, oh first I say God Bless. They are available on Amazon and more info at marfs.com All the best to everyone! Is amazon.com the only place to buy them? The website says they're $26 but amazon seems to be price gouging at $40 something :/ |

Quoting: DoorBert [link to www.fastcodesign.com] this is what happens when your government experiments with weaponized Ebola..its designed to kill and kill in the millions. this was either an accidental release or a deliberate one, but it was released from the CDC ebola laboratory in Sierra Leon. the Sierra Leon gov ordered the US to immediately close that facility and it did. if there is a world wide pandemic, it was set by the US government and those in leadership have committed the worst crime against humanity ever! time to arrest and throw all those in the CDC, Whitehouse and other agenices culpable in this in a dark nasty prison in Africa. |

Maybe a hundred people in the vicinity Quoting: Dalek Uno 64569737 Exhibit B, "nurse" living with several hundred people in aprtment complex, uses public transport, goes to public places like discos and restaurants...do i have to continue. I still think most health workers are contaminating themselves accidently, while taking the protective gear off. Are they being sprayed down with antiseptic first? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 36426283 United States 10/27/2014 07:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ebola Suit Review Prepare For the Worst, June 25, 2012 This review is from: Tychem BR Hazmat Suit Chemical Protective Clothing MEDIUM W/ Attached Gloves & Booties, Zipper Front Closure & Removable Hood. Includes Kevlar Glove Liners "The end is near. Those with Hazmat suits will thrive. We and the cockroaches will inherit the earth. We will rule the infected. The selection process to pick just the right suit will not be an easy task. It must protect me from numerous contaminants, be durable, and look stylish and classy. The selection of hot chicks could be greatly diminished after Armageddon... being stylish and classy will set me apart from the other losers. As the last woman I hit on so eloquently put it "Not even if you were the last man on earth and my very survival depended on it". OH HO!! We will see if her meth polluted, whisky influenced mind feels the same way after nuclear war. I must put the Tychem Hazmat Suit through some tests before declaring it the royal outfit of the new king of a devastated world. Test 1 - Nuclear exposure. Naturally I have no nuclear waste, so off to the Yucca Mountain Nuclear waste facility we go. After being denied access and laughed at extensively at the gate (very unprofessional), I decided to sneak in. I parked 200 yards down the road and in full Tychem Hazmat Suit I hopped the fence. Negative number one, in a full on sprint the suit's hood helmet fogs up quickly. It will cloud your vision so much that you don't even see a small platoon of security as they descend on you like killer bees. Footnote: this suit does not stop taser projectiles. Just so you are aware of that little tidbit. I woke up in jail. Tychem Hazmat Suit missing. Test 2 - Four days and two hefty fines later - Picking up chicks. I chose a local bar and a grocery store to give this test a wide range. Full yellow Tychem Hazmat Suit. Test was an ultimate failure. This will hurt the suit's overall rating. I was kicked in the nads, laughed at once again, refused service, and hit with a shopping cart. On the plus side, the girl who used pepper spray failed too, I didn't feel a thing. Test 3 - Situations that I may find myself in. Swimming - Not good. Suit began to fill with water 40 yards out. Started sinking. Thank goodness a couple park rangers came to check out why the big yellow buoy was moving and yelling curse words. Rangers used the words "first time ever" a lot and took multiple pictures with their cell phones to document our adventure together. Sky diving - This one went bad quickly. The hood came off in two seconds... it smacked me in the face is now lost forever. One sleeve ripped up to the shoulder. The loose fabric flapped in the wind and beat me in the face for a full minute before I pulled the cord. It was like a soccer game and my head was the ball. That beating was worse than my Yucca Mountain beat down in test 1. Final warning. Don't pass gas in this suit. It lingers forever and will make you ill. Think of it like sticking your head down the hole of an outhouse. Your eyes will water also... makes people think you are crying. This suit did not do as well as I had hoped but is still winning so far. I will need to test other suits soon and design tests that are much less painful. Maybe a wind test in Kansas during tornado season. Maybe bear wrestling, or shark swimming. I will come up with something." [link to www.amazon.com] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24146935 Let's think about it.....one person has Ebola and sells weed. Or works in a service industry like pharmacy or fast food. Statistic in Africa will not adhere to outbreak in USA. Cultures are FAR too different. Dude, The example is ilustrating IF an ebola carrier infects 2 other people! Quite obvious they could easily infect many more than two! Now go take a cold shower and calm down! |
