[quote=CA renter]Let’s say the man was throwing up at the hospital the first time he went (pretty likely), or that someone might have come into contact with is blood, saliva, feces, or urine while he was there. It seems pretty likely that this might have happened.
Then this person (or people) go home to their loved ones, go to work, go to restaurants and other establishments, etc., and the disease is spread. Some of those people, or the people with whom they’ve had contact, might also have traveled to other cities or states, spreading it there.
It seems pretty contagious, based on what I’ve read. Even healthcare professionals who are taking extreme precautions are getting sick. Just the fact that someone made it here with the disease, even though they are trying to be vigilant about passengers who are traveling from the disease-riddled countries, is extremely frightening.[/quote]
It’s only extremely frightening if you don’t really understand or if you’re prone to scaring easily or if you’re always seeing storm clouds gathering or armageddon coming.
The virus isn’t transmittable until symptoms appear. And then only through contact with bodily fluids. I could continue with scientific facts, but people like to be scared, I guess. In the next year, a hundred times more people will die in the U.S. of diseases you never heard of and aren’t afraid of than will die from ebola that they caught in the U.S.
