No, it's not, I have a cousin who works with monkeys, I don't see how why that's so hard to believe. Have you ever seen pigs? They are cannibals, throw them pork and they'll gobble it up.
You mean throw them meat, and they'll gobble it up.
Anyway, CNN told me Ebola is the ISIS of biological agents. So I say we step up our bombing campaign on Ebola.

And then there was #2. A few hours ago, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, announced that a health care worker who cared for dying Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, has tested positive for the virus after a preliminary test, officials said early Sunday. If confirmed, it would be the first known person-to-person transmission of the disease in the United States. The name of the patients is currently unknown, what is known however, is that the worker was "considered to be at low risk for contracting the virus" and the he or she was wearing full protective gear when treating Duncan, suggesting - yet again - that there is a transmission mechanism which is not accounted for under conventional protocol.
I'm not sure what this means - "yet to be confirmed." The healthcare worker has already tested positive for the Ebola virus in one test - a test specifically for Ebola. I mean, I guess they can run another test at the CDC, but I don't see why the first test wouldn't be enough proof right there.
Sort of like a positive pregnancy test. Sure, two is "more positive" but one positive test is pretty strong evidence that you're pregnant.
The initial test was sent off to the same lab in Austin that tested Duncan and the police officer (who was subsequently proven not to have Ebola). Also, a patient from Houston has been tested there. So this is three people who have been tested accurately at that lab, which is only one of 13 labs nationwide with the capability to test for Ebola.
...The deputy was the third person tested for Ebola at the state public health laboratory in Austin. The first was the Dallas patient who tested positive, and the second was a patient from the Houston area who was negative...
I guess we're just waiting for a confirmation test from the CDC but I'd be willing to bet that the initial test is correct.

It's difficult to tell from the article, but the "preliminary testing" could refer to initial screening tests that are less reliable and conclusive than diagnostic tests. I'd probably agree with you overall that we're more likely looking at an actual positive.
As is your ignorance, as you are so ridiculously obstinate. You've probably never been around animals as you're blatant lack of knowledge is pathetic. That was a most pitiful joke of a video, one clearly aiming at inspiring panic. I grew up on a farm, so I know what I'm talking about, but you clearly don't. And yes, they do eat whatever, if you feed them their own brother, they'll eat them, if you give them a chance to eat monkey feces, they will do so too. Is this beyond your comprehension?
I know a guy who had ebola. Caught it from a stripper in Vegas. Couldn't **** for a week. Finally went to a doctor and got it cleared up, but that's why you should always wrap it up.
"We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks."
Who is CIDRAP? "The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP; "SID-wrap") is a global leader in addressing public health preparedness and emerging infectious disease response. Founded in 2001, CIDRAP is part of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota."
