Give it a week and nobody will care anymore anyway.

Or at least those of us capable of getting on the internet and posting here...

Re: Ebola

You cant get it through the air. Only through contact.

Does a sneeze count through air? Or does that generally mean it can't be contracted by being in the same room of someone who is just breathing normal.

Should it mutate and form a new strain then it could become airborne. This current strain appears not to be.

Re: Ebola

If I've learned anything from Pandemic 2, I MUST move to Madagascar to get away from this.

On that note....played Pandemic 2....FINALLY GOT MADAGASCAR! Australia closes everything. Is it even possible to beat this game?!?!?!

Re: Ebola

As someone said it's not airborne now but it could mutate. There's a reason why this thing is just ripping across Africa.

As long as it doesn't mutate and no one else contracts it we'll be ok but as I said in my first post, i'm still very leery. Couldn't they have taken those two Americans to a military base in Europe or something instead?

Is it really "ripping across Africa though"? There are 1.1 billion people in Africa and only a thousand have died from Ebola.

Re: Ebola

There was also a recent story about a possibly traveler returning from W. Africa who ended up in Mt. Sinai Hospital and was being tested for it.

His results were negative. So that's good.

Re: Ebola

I read somewhere that you can get it through the air as well.

No physical contact needed.

Dont remember where Ive read it though. It could be this particular strain that makes it different. Not sure.

Found it.

Re: Ebola

Yeah, that's a conspiracy site. I wouldn't pay attention to a word of that nonsense.

Re: Ebola

I just think that these people were highly trained professionals and ended up with it (I know they were working under difference circumstances) but who's to say another mistake cannot be made and this stuff spread.

And if you like Pandemic, give Bio Inc a try.

Re: Ebola

First confirmed case in the US yesterday, in Dallas. They're now looking for anyone that came in contact with the patient; the number is up to 100 as of now. Family has been told to stay in their home until Oct. 19.

Re: Ebola

Reminds me of the movie Outbreak. I have my thoughts but I know they'd violate the TOS. So I'll hold them.
