the Daily Mail is a tabloid. Read the subheadline: "May"

Who knows? Just the people that wrote that shitty article.
"Tests which were carried out as a precaution showed she did not have virus"

That was an edit though and most likely wasn't part of the original article when first posted.

Ebola is indeed scary as fuck, based on what the virus does they should be looking into IV-C as a possible treatment option.

I can assure you it's much more than that. The current outbreak has killed almost 1,000 but most experts believe it's actually much higher than that. Many victims aren't coming forward for various reasons. The bodies of Ebola victims must be cremated, which apparently goes against the customs of many African citizens.

Welcome to the U.S. Ebola!

Ebola is the #1 virus in the country.

Oh wait...

So the only way to get Ebola is by coming in contact with bodily fluids or blood of a patient already showing symptoms... Why didn't this ass fuck tell anyone before he boarded a plane to either country that he had come in contact with these people while in West Africa?

[thebridge15]

So you have to be vomited or bled on by someone with Ebola to get Ebola?

Cool, so I'm never ever getting it

and furthermore... was he fucking ebola patients or what?

swapping bodily fluids isn't exactly easy.

[Evans]

Africa must be full of complete morons if several thousand swapped bodily fluids with each other to get Ebola. You'd think eventually they'd get it that maybe they should practice some universal precautions.

Either that or it's easier to get than they let on.

well, between the ebola and the aids... africa is full of bodily fluid swappin'!

[rustysurf83]

Coughs, blood, drinking from the same glass, etc. Sex isn't the only way bodily fluids get swapped...

you can't get HIV/AIDS by any of those means. that's what we've been told for the past 30 years anyway. so, that's what people are expecting with Ebola.

[dre2142]

this story will get blown out of proportion

You most certainly can get aids from blood...

Well considering we are already living in the world of unlikely do to the Presidents terms, it's hard to blow something so serious out of proportion. If Jihads are beheading in Oklahoma and they've pretended like nothing has happened, I don't think this gets blown out of proportion.

[dre2142]

so serious. it is.

[MVDMB]

Our healthcare is so goddamn much better in the US, as is our awareness (and paranoia) of the virus that it won't take off. Maybe a few infections but absolutely nothing remotely similar to West Africa.
