If I were her I would demand alternative treatments, rather than those they know won't work.

They don't KNOW that various silver compounds and states won't work.

The medical corporate complex won't even test alternative treatments on animals.

It's up to the patient to treat herself.

Sorry, they won't let her.

I don't think she traded semen with the first victim (Duncan). I don't think she French kissed him, so how in the world did she get it? They say she might have broke protocol by perhaps touching her nose, mouth or eyes. Highly unlikely, I think this is airborne but of course the CDC says it is not. A Canadian Ebola study says it could be.
I think the CDC and the WHO is not forthcoming in their explanation of the deadly disease.

She didn't even sit next to him on the bus.

I'm sure they will figure it out!
but that is the problem. We have our government telling us the chances for an Ebola outbreak are extremely low, and even trained professionals with hazmat suits are catching the virus.

Is our government just exhibiting hubris, or are they flat out lying to us, so we will not bring an end to open borders and tolerate nearly non-existent border and immigration enforcement?

Or they're telling the truth. I count 1 person contracting Ebola in the US.

I gues "extremely low" was assuming 330 million people all wearing hazmat suits, eh?

We are not doing anything to prevent an epidemic. People can enter this country with Ebola, we do a rudementary check and allow them to disappear into our population, and then a week later they can become sick, and start spreading the virus.

We are holding to luck, nothing more. It's like checking for AIDS with a thermometer, and then engaging in unprotected sex, and trusting that our luck holds out.

Meanwhile: WHO says Ebola is 'most severe acute health emergency in modern times' - Telegraph

The Ebola outbreak is the "most severe acute health emergency in modern times", the World Health Organisation has warned.

The agency's director-general Margaret Chan said the epidemic had proved "the world is ill-prepared to respond to any severe, sustained, and threatening public health emergency".

We have Ponderosa on record stating he predicts that within 2 years, Ebola will kill millions of Americans in America.

What's your prediction for the number of dead Americans on American soil from this outbreak of Ebola?

The air in a transcontinental flight is recirculated and recycled every 25 minutes. Most the colds and flu I've ever caught, I caught on a plane. If it was airborne, all the passengers on Duncan's flight would be showing symptoms by now.
Air on a commercial airliner comes from a mixture of recirculated air and engine bleed air which are both released through the outflow valve. Air is constantly moved around and certainly isn't only 'recycled' every 25 minutes.
