Liberia And sierra leonne are among the wettest And stickiest places on earth. You've no idea the humidity heat and rain of the west African gold coast


Everyone is sweating, all of the time. Everyone. There is never a moment when you arent sweating. Ever

Rolls with it...
Probably true, but on the other hand what else is the CDC going to say? "Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye."

I'm pretty sure that Ebola will not supplant heart disease as America's Number 1 killer... Now, please pass the deep fried fruit bat.

Looks like I can add those to places I'll never visit. I don't even deal well when concord gets warm...

Doesn't even hold a candle to Liberia and SL

You're talking about averaging well over 200 inches of rainfall a year in the capital city

Never been there but i lived ib PR for over a year and was in a state of perpetual sweat from when i got off the plane to when i got back on.

I read that the CDC has confirmed he has ebola. They think a small number of people could have potentially been exposed while he was contageous including his family. They don't thinknhe was contageous while he was on the plane back on Sept. 20.

Also, diseases can be very contageous even when they are not airborne. Think pink eye. Not airborne just means you have to touch something an infected person touched. A door knob, a faucet, a keyboard...

Exactly right. He wipes his nose and then flushes the toilet. You flush the toilet and rub your eye.

No, you have to touch bodily fluids and it has to hit a mucus membrane or open wound. Pink eye happens when you touch a source and then your eye.

From what I have read (you know news propaganda) I agree with you.

However my younger daughter is finishing her Phd in cellular biology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She will graduate next spring. She already has a Masters in Pharmacology. Ebola scares the shit out of her, I flew to the east coast last month and she told me if I am next to someone who came from a trip to Africa and was sweating. GET OF THE FUCKING PLANE BEFORE IT TAKES OFF DAD, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE EMERGENCY DOOR.
