Ebola Outbreak

I would take a guess that this disease as mutated and can now be deemed as capable of being transmitted by airborne means. If this is the case, well we're all fucked.

What has lead you to make that guess?

Two nurses in separate countries, dressed for and following all the correct procedures, have both been confirmed contractors of the disease.

Have you considered that if the virus was airborne we'd be looking at a couple of thousand cases, not a couple?

Alcohol would be my guess.

No not if the mutation is recent and in isolation.

On the bright side, shares in Tekmira are up 400% in the last year. The US pharmaceutical company showed amazing foresight in getting Ebola treatment appoved just 1 day before the outbreak was announced. Every cloud.....

Do drug companies put viruses out there?

They're miles behind the Federal Pharm.
They've actually trademarked the strain for the next outbreak.

I wouldn't say that but I do think they can have influence on the exaggeration of a virus in the media.
