The CDC alerted physicians nationwide to the outbreak this month, asking them to be aware of symptoms and to review how they would care for a patient in the event that a sick traveler arrived in the U.S.Kevin Griffis, the head of communications at the CDC, said Tuesday that there are no suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola in the U.S., notwithstanding misinformation circulating on social media., such as fever. It is not a foolproof system, however.
While Ebola is deadlier than Covid, it is easier to contain. Ebola is not an airborne virus. It is spread through direct contact with an infected person's blood or other bodily fluids. The people most at risk, therefore, are household contacts and health care workers treating Ebola patients.— just four people were diagnosed in the U.S. One, a man in Dallas who had traveled from West Africa, died. Seven other people got sick working in Africa and were evacuated to the U.S.
The Nebraska Biocontainment Unit treated three patients in the 2014-16 outbreak. At the time, it was one of just three such facilities in the U.S. Now, there are 10.
They sure don’t look confident
I cannot wait for our government to release it here, then pfizer will come to the rescue with another 'non-tested' vaccine that we can force on people for genetic testing. 2023 is going to be lit.
If EbolaOutbreakUG is more deadly than COVID19 then wouldn’t it be wise to shut the borders to avoid WHO having to declare another global pandemic, assuming a lot was learnt from the speed of Covid.
Well that's never good
