Re: Doc who had EBOLA to be released today

I don't know what he looked like before, but he looks pretty good. I'm sure his family is so happy.

She cleaned surfaces. She probably left traces on equipment or tables.

So, it could be communicable without the passing of body fluids to someone else?

No, not unless there's live virus, and they wouldn't have been released if that was true.

So you're saying they got infected by TRACE amounts of live virus left either on equipment or tables?


No one made any claim, there are numerous possibilities.

Okay, so now there are NUMEROUS POSSIBLITIES.


To come in contact with bodily fluids? Uh, yeah.

Surely you've thought that through about catching a cold or the flu and coming in contact with a virus? On faucet handles someone used before you, on door handles, etc. This isn't rocket science.

I assume you already know that ecoli from fecal matter is found in many places, even in soda machines at fast food places.

But you and others said it was hard to get like HIV/AIDS. So, now you're saying that if someone is infected and left traces of their virus on door handles or soda machines the public at large could get it?

Kitty, I would think that would be for future recipients. Not the Samaritans Purse doctor. I belive that he is now cured and will have no recurrance of the disease...unless it works like malaria or something which I have not heard it does.

I agree. And I'd assume there are markers for that kid of virus, like herpes, also.

They were working in a Third World country with primitive conditions...not like the USA.

I trust the scientists and medical people who say he is free from Ebola and can continue on with his life with no fear of infecting anyone.

Since when did Trump become a medical expert?

I trust the doctors.

Why did you mention Trump? I certainly did not. Doctors and scientists are human and make mistakes.

Someone else mentioned him.

I trust the doctors, they would never make a mistake and release someone into the general population who could infect others...especially since they are both medical workers.

I didn't second guess the MD who delivered my son - I'm not going to second guess the doctors and the NIH on this either.

they do don't know that for a fact. it's a test serum they were given. a hybrid from human cells grown in a tobacco leaf. as he said it is a test serum. it may work for them but it could break down over time and infect others. they don't really know. he said there are too many factors to consider. we don't know the full life and lasting effects of the test serum.

No, I didn't say that. Just like I didn't say I gave my cats a poodle cut.

No, I didn't say that, either. I gave you an example of how cold and flu viruses are passed. I also didn't say my cats were shaved as you claimed yesterday.

shade/found. Take my advise and buy 10,000 bags of potato chips and lock yourself in the closet until you hear the all-clear siren.

I think you just don't know the answer. Also, I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about with your cat. Are you deflecting again?

I think you don't understand much of anything said to you, even basic concepts.
