The chances of ebola become airbone is high, maybe few more months?

It would have to be quite a mutation to do that.  I think the chances are slim, but I know nothing about microbiology.

Cant it become airborn?

Are You a Terrorist?  Huh
If someone started engineering the actual virus: YES; otherwise, it required a numbers of mutations to become airborn-transmissible.

Achoooooo!

So the whole USA is infected now right? Or did nothing at all happen?

LOL!

No, the entire USA is not infected. There are a few isolated cases though.  Apparently there might be one or two in Canada as well.  The only reason it has spread this big so far is complete stupidity by people.  With proper decontamination and sterilization this should have already been dealt with.

I was reading about a reporter for NBC or something that had done a story about Ebola and apparently her cameraman got infected.  She went into quarantine because of it but then left multiple times risking infecting other people.

I swear some are trying to test and and are trying whatever they can do to make it spread. I imagine within a couple weeks Ebola will go away no different than SARS did.

The real problem with ebola and why it's so deadly, is we all have it, it lives at the back of the mouth/throat, albeit a different strain, and this is why there is no cure, we actually need it..

Methinks they've yet to figure out just how many people came into contact with the victim(s) BEFORE even the victim(s) knew they were dying.. It's just a matter of time before terrorists figure out you can kill everyone on a plane just by coughing.

Ebola is spread by monkeys and bats. Don't think it causes a real threat to the western world.

Whilst this is probably true, you missed the fact that people spread it too.. I mean, I cant really see how a bat or a monkey got passed any american quarantine, unless of course, this was spread intentionally..

Keep in mind terrorists no longer need to blow themselves up, they can do more damage hanging about the white house.. or any other house for that matter..

The guy in Dallas died.

That would make sense considering there is NO cure.

The only question you really need ask, is:

How many people did the victim(s) meet before they ever realised they contracted it?

Some English university of Lancaster made a research, researching how Ebola spread so far and with airport connections worldwide. They calculated that till end of thsi month, there is 85% chances Ebola will spread to France and 50% chances to spread to UK.

Just dont say i did not warned you on time!
Yeah, that is probably true. And when it happens they will isolate the infected person to prevent further spreading of the virus.
Still not a threat... Roll Eyes

Ebola swim the sea and landed on Spain.

Run run for the hills!!!
Yeah, she's a nurse that got it from an ebola infected missioner that was flown home to Spain for treatment.
She is isolated now.

Guys chill out, it will not become an epidemic in Europe either! Tongue

The Spanish nurse should not have contracted the deadly disease if appropriate containment and control measures had been taken. The Independent reported about media in Spain saying "that staff at the Madrid hospital where the nurse became infected had claimed their protective suits did not meet health and safety requirements" and on WHO chief saying that European health workers were most at risk of becoming infected, but also that the most important thing in his view is that Europe is still at low risk and that the western part of the European region particularly is the best prepared in the world to respond to viral haemorrhagic fevers including Ebola.

Ebola is now in Canada.  Sad

A patient in Toronto is in isolation suspected of the disease. 
That's sad.

Do they know how he or she got it?

You will rethink what you said next week.
Fine. If it by next week haven't turned into an epidemic I'll quote our conversation and you'll admit I was right, and if it has you'll quote it and I'll admit I was wrong (if I'm still alive of course Cheesy)!
Deal?

id just wait it out and buy the vaccine on ebay, im sure you can find.



I honestly doubt eBay allows the sale of drugs....believe me you will not get it until a while. This will be in such high demand that the most elite and politically powerful will get it then the general public.
