"We also demonstrated aerosol transmission of Ebola virus at lower temperature and humidity than that normally present in sub-Saharan Africa."
"Peter Jahrling was one of the authors of the report. Jahrling was discoverer of the Reston strain of Ebola, and is now chief scientist at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases."
Ever been on a crowded NYC subway before? On the news this morning you can feel the entire city and tri-state area breathe a sigh of relief that two politicians with cojones took the kind of action people have been asking for.
Tonight I was on a crowded NYC suburb. I was in NYC all day. I heard no one discussing it. The odds of a piano falling from a balcony killing you are far higher.
1 case in the entire Northeast..from someone who had that rare close up contact at a time when fluids would be transferred.

"Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are
coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of
another person. Droplets travel short distances, less than 3 feet (1 meter)
from one person to another.
A person might also get infected by touching a surface or object that has
germs on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
Droplet spread diseases include: plague, Ebola."
Remember that the next time someone coughs or sneezes on you while riding a bus or subway in NYC.

That's what it was like for those of us who live in/near Dallas. The rest of the country was far more alarmed than we were.

Also - a little common sense is not paranoia.
I was out shopping yesterday and heard people out in public talking about it for the first time.
They were rather nervously joking about it. "Wonder if I could get Ebola from touching all these clothes?" (nervous laughter from the group of friends)
Another woman was coughing and said, "Don't worry - I don't have Ebola" and people around her laughed and then after a few seconds of silence, someone said in a small voice, "Did you ask your doctor?"
Both times I heard it discussed, people were joking about it, but in a way it was eerie. I sincerely hope that I forget completely about these little moments, rather than remembering them later as the first day I picked up on the growing realization in the general public that "Houston, we have a problem."
I was in Omaha the day Ashoka Mukpo was brought there and also for a few days prior. It certainly was in the news, ranking up there with The Huskers. I did not talk to many Omahans, but the only person in my extended family who voiced an opinion was my MIL (negative), but she didn't even seem to be afraid of the disease.
