Ebola is likely to be more easily transmitted than we’re led to believe.[/quote]
The authorities routinely say it’s not easily transmissible…that is expected, they don’t want to start a panic.
People are panicking as it is, imagine if they went out and said “Oh btw don’t touch anything because you could get Ebola and die” LMAO!
From what I have read Ebola is able to survive on surfaces contacted by the infected for days in the right environment. It can then enter through microcracks in the skin when another person contacts that same surface.
And Ebola is supposed to be an exceptionally small virus so it requires an extremely microscopic breach in the skin to enter.
Of course, in the grand scheme of things it is still not a pandemic stage since 1 or 2 people contracting the virus means nothing really. But the potential for a pandemic is what is concerning.
