Being at first skeptical that Ebola virus could be an aerosol-transmissible disease, we are now persuaded by a review of experimental and epidemiologic data that this might be an important feature of disease transmission, particularly in healthcare settings.

There's no evidence whatsoever that Ebola can be transmitted through mosquitoes. The scientific conclusion at this point is that Ebola is NOT transmitted through mosquitoes.

Do you buy conclusions based on ignorance?

Scientific ignorance, that is!

Politics can have a way of making scientists "ignorant".

Bush was directly blamed for 9-11.
Now Obama is directly blamed for Ebola in the US.


And these people vote based on their beliefs.
Some will ask why there is no ebola in Kenya.

Wonder if that's Bleach solution used to spray the sidewalks ?

Let's build quarantine facilities along the southern border.
That might be the best "fence" we could put up to stop drug dealers and illegals from crossing.

We better get used to more cases in the US and start procedures on how to deal with this on the local level.
Even if we stop this case, there will be more.

Political science versus biological science.

Which one do you think will warp the other?

How contagious is Ebola for persons in the US and MOST 1st world countries? Much less than HIV.

Take a look at the hygiene in the countries where Ebola is a problem ... even the poorest in the US live under better conditions.

These people need to learn you can't pee, pop, drink, and wash clothes using the same water.
