Its far higher than nil.

Please provide a rigorous statistical analysis or other studies and/or evidence upon which you are basing your assertion.


and 0.0001 is intolerable.

Sure... 0.0001 is pretty high. But let's not talk about numbers you pulled out of your ass.

Your attempts at dissecting my comments are appreciated, "avxo", but your arguments are juvenile. Try making actual points based on facts. Thanks for playing just the same. Good luck with your future posts.  ;D

Oh I'm curious about one thing by the way. Why do you put my name in quotes? Do you think I'm not really avxo and am some kind of avxo-impostor?

Wiggs black J.C. will show up  ;D & walk his tribe out of Africa.

That's the scary thing; sooner or later, ebola shows its ugly head outside that shithole...

CNN BreakingNews: "A patient at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York is being tested for Ebola after recently returning from West Africa, the hospital says"


His symptoms are consistent with an Ebola infection.

Excellent news! I'm starting to get excited for the mass fatalities.  :D

Unless somebody shows me that this thing is airborne (and I am not talking about blood mist), I am just not that worked up about it. I don't work in a hospital.

That said, if it does go airborne, it's DEFCON5.

What would make it go airborne? ???

Mutation or something?

I've read that the virus can't spread so easily but how comes so many Hebrews are dying from it?

You don't have to work too hard to catch it.

It's blood borne, therefore an exchange of bodily fluids is required. Eating the meat of an infected animal or person would do it too. So no bats, monkeys or cannibalism.

You actually *DO* have to expend some effort to catch it.

Yeah, I'm guessing poor hygiene and unprotected sex are the reasons but saying it won't spread so easily in first world countries seems to be an exaggeration.

Mutation or something?

Two things: 1.) a random mutation. Unlikely, as it is quite a different virus than an airborne virus. 2.) tampering by a state-sponsored entity. There are many ways to "weaponize" something like Ebola. The easiest would be to give it a hardened coating to make it a very fine powder, a la the Soviet weaponization of Anthrax. Another would be to deliberately resequence the gene expressions to maybe cross it with an influenza. Also not something that hobbiests can do, though a used gene sequencer is short money on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LiCor-Li-Cor-Analyzer-Gene-readir-4200-DNA-Sequencer-/181026162828?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2600088c). Specific training required!

A "popular" method is to cross it with a rodent "pox" to give it some durability.

Blood comes from every orifice of infected person so if you are caring for someone or contact a dead body it spreads. It also has a 21 day incubation period. Yes, it could mutate to airborne but with only 1300 cases and this is biggest outbreak ever it isn't a large sample to make a mutation likely.

You act as though he recklessly contaminated himself and recklessly came back to the US. 

This man was making medical progress with ebola and unfortunately became sick.  The risk of the spread of ebola in the US is extremely slim given our vastly superior medicine.

Get this man on path to recovery and hopefully what's been learned will help neutralize it elsewhere.  Man has a big ole heart and wants to serve others and further medical science.
why did god inflict such horrible suffering to poor people in africa MOS? He s a funny guy really.

My wife and I are of differing opinions here. She thinks like some of you, that the two medical folks recently infected with Ebola, should have been treated where they were and not moved back to the U.S. I suspect there is better medical treatment here and I believe CDC has taken every precaution to avoid any possible spread of this horrific virus. I also think there is a lot of fear going on with this issue....probably rightly so.

I do.

I wouldn't expect you to. You've made it abundantly clear in the past that you have no respect for women.

Does that really exists outside movies? Can you image the consequences?

The perception we humans have of God is very different than the perception that God has of us.
