Iriwn.. So let me ask you this question because I know it is being consider in certain countries abroad. If someone were to intentionally weaponize and them insert themselves into a country to intentionally infect are you going to gamble with your life? Being pro active re a disease that has no cure is not fear mongering. It's understanding there are those who do to infect the innocent and it can be done. So when will I believe there is far less risk.. When they handle that patient as they do any patient with the common cold. Fintas

Quote:Furthermore, we now know that fever precedes the contagious stage, Seems like NEJM is talking out of both sides of their mouths.. Because observed cases of Ebola shows over 1 in 10 patients exhibit NO FEVER over the course of their illness (death).. The finding that 87.1% of those infected exhibited fever — but 12.9% did not — illustrates the challenges confronting health authorities as they struggle to contain the epidemic. latimes.com And while I generally hate to cite Infowars as a "credible" source, they do have this article fairly well documented. infowars.com IOW, 1 in 10 odds are not that high.. certainly not high enough to stake people's lives on the idea that you have to have a fever to be contagious with Ebola..
