Why are we so concerned about if ebola is airborn? The much more important thing is when you become contegous. As long as it stays that you are only contateous late in the illness we will be okay. If people become contageous eariler we are screwed.
Kneehigh... not to pick on you but it could be airborn but just not yet at that point. Maybe somebody has to get sicker before it would become airborn.

jgnat I start reading everything I could soon as I heard about the health care workers getting sick back in the spring. When I was younger I read a book about Spanish flu and it freaked me out. So I pay attention to any signficant inffectious disease out break I hear about.

"If this was the 10th century than Ebola would be the modern day bubonic plague. But its the 21st century. Its not a big problem in places that have 21st century medicine."
The incedious this about this virus is that it takes out your hospitals first. We see it already starting in Dallas. In the heavily hit areas all all the senior staff at many of the hosplitals have already been taken out. Even if this disease is brought under control tommrow that is a generational problem for many of these areas.

Simon17 do some research. All of that has been verified. Let me simplify this, the virus is EXTREEMLY contategous... we are just apparently fortunate that you arn't particularly contegous till late in the illness.
The RO (reproductifve rate) is just as high as flu. However it only takes you 3-5 days to pass on your flu to two other people. With Ebola it takes 3-4 weeks to pass it on to two people. Spreads just as easily but just slower. THAT is why it appears as though it isn't a problem. By the end of the year we will know just how serrious it is.

Some don't seem to under stand... it isn't that differn't from the flu. What makes the flu special is you are contagous before you are sick and there are asymtomatic cases that are spreaders. If either of these happen you have no hope of contaning it.

In west africa the air is warm and moist. Resperiated droplets don't dry out and fall out of the air. In the cool dry air in the hospital... they dry and stay in the air. There is a reason almost all viruses thrive in winter. Coool Dry Air.
The fortunate thing is that Ebola dosn't particularly favor inffection of the air way If it did way more virus would become airborn. On the other hand I don't think the virus cares how it gets in. Also since nobody in his family appears to be sick... it really does appear you arn't to contageous till late in the illness. Some confort for the comunity but hell for the health care workers.

how are people having "experinces" while there is no evidence of heart or brain activity?.

Supposedly we can feel if sombody is staring at us. This EVEN works if they are in different rooms looking at us through closed circut tv. Nobody can perfectly sense this but... most of research has found it happens signficantly more often than chance should allow for.

Apognophos... the point is there is memories from times when there is no evidence of heart or brain activity. By our current undrestanding of consciousness that shouldn't be possible.

My take... at the very least it shows we don't really understand consciousness. We may even have some fundamental misunderstandings about it. If we can find evidence showing that at least a part of our consciousness is non physical, it would at least prove that life after death would be possible. It still wouldn't prove the existance of it... just suggest that it is possible.
