Jeanie, I am having a difficult time with your posts. In the one post, I thought it was your words in calling Ebola a wimpy virus. Now, I am confused as to what is your wording, and what is someone else's. I also am not following your thoughts.....I believe you are saying Ebola is not a huge concern. While I am not horribly concerned, I totally do not think we should ignore it OR believe it is a "wimpy virus" because if it were then I would think it would have been eradicated already. Plus, why, if it is so wimpy are hazmat suits being used?
This virus is indeed a concern imho. I don't think it will end up being an out of control pandemic situation here in the US, but I also don't think people should downplay its threat.
Also, I don't think anyone is totally clear about the transmission, but it is still my understanding that it is in saliva and sweat....I have NO idea how long it remains there outside of the body but it is supposedly in them. My point in saying that it was in saliva and sweat for ANY length of time was to compare it to HIV and to express my amazement that anyone would refer to it as wimpy. |
