Interesting read. American survivor #2's interview, and she doesn't know how she got infected:

Can't be true, because they have told us we can't contract it without exchanging body fluids.

Don't think of "bodily fluid transmission" as just open wounds, puke, kissing or things like that.
Over the next 30 minutes make a note of how many times you (generally subconsciously) touch your face - specifically your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Then realize that if your hand had come in contact with ebola recently that you probably just infected yourself.

Thanks asshole, now I have an itch.

Here's my tin foil hat theory on that bullshit. They have people over there that clean their damn suits everyday. They already said that one of the workers family had it and brought it in. Now think about for a minute your pissed off because your sister just died and you don't think the US is doing enough to help your country. You know because it's our god damn fault when anything goes wrong anywhere in the world. How better then to get the attention you think your country deserves then to infect two or three US doctors.

Exactly.


The nurse in that article said, "I don’t know how I became infected and how I contracted it. There are some thoughts about how I might have gotten it. Nobody is really sure, least of all me."


She was not 100% and that's all it takes.

Q: Were you wearing PPE in your job, disinfecting doctors and nurses?

N.W.: No, I was wearing gloves and a disposable apron. There were times I had a mask on.

Doctors wearing more PPE than her have contracted it. I'm really not sure why she's surprised.

They're already blaming us, because we had slaves. If they were never slaves, they never would have been freed and then we wouldn't have had to make Liberia.

Anderson Cooper 24 spoke with author David Quammen about the book Ebola: The Natural and Human History of a Deadly Virus and How America Should Respond to It.

Anderson Cooper said, "There are those who say that there should not be flights allowed from Liberia to US, even flights that have connected through Europe. That's not even really possible. First of all, I don't think there are many flights that directly connect from Monrovia to the US. Most of them are connection flights, so it's virtual impossible in real time like that to track somebody, I would think."

QUAMMEN: You can't isolate neighborhoods; you can't isolate nations. It doesn't work. And people talk about, "Well, we shouldn't allow any flights from Liberia." I mean, we in America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia? Given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery, we have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help them see this through.
