Unless you are the person who is taking the secret medicine or know you will be given access to plasma and other. Or if one is sitting in a isolated chamber protected from all others.. KNOCK KNOCk.. Get away...I'm not answering any doors. SMILE What I love about all those who tell ya not to worry is when they are wrong.. where the frig are they and why doesn't anyone hold them accountable.. I know I know it really wasn't Terrorism attack in Ben Ghazi. Candy C told us so. And not to worry.. ya can remove a base force out of Iraq.. This admin told us so. It was a good thing to get rid of Mumbarek.. Cheering in the streets and all those reporters told us so.. OH did I mention the rule their is dictatorship. But not to worry.. They've run the numbers..

Fever is only one indication that you are sufficiently ill to act as an early warning sign. But as the NEJM article on PCR testing showed, PCR may not recognize ZEBOV until 2-3 days after the fever started. PCR is one of the most sensitive tests we have and is able to recognize the disease effects in the 1:10,000 to 1:1,000,000. Not sure where in that range it tests for ZEBOV. But the more important point is that IF PCR cannot even detect the disease, it cannot be significantly contagious. The clear lesson of ZEBOV is that it is only seriously contagious in the latter stage of the infection. That is when medical staff are getting infected. The Duncan family example illustrates the etiology lesson - none of them caught ZEBOV.
