CDC Forced to Admit that Ebola Might Be Spread to Healthcare Workers through Coughing and Sneezing
Scientists have said for some time that Ebola may be spread through coughing, sneezing and other aerosol transmission.
The top American health agency - the U.S. Centers for Disease Control - has denied this for months. But CDC has finally been forced to admit that it's true.
The Los Angeles Times reports today:
Some scientists who have long studied Ebola say such assurances are premature — and they are concerned about what is not known about the strain now on the loose.
***
Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC’s most far-reaching study of Ebola’s transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters.
“We just don’t have the data to exclude it,” said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston.
Dr. Philip K. Russell, a virologist who oversaw Ebola research while heading the U.S. Army’s Medical Research and Development Command, and who later led the government’s massive stockpiling of smallpox vaccine after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, also said much was still to be learned. “Being dogmatic is, I think, ill-advised, because there are too many unknowns here.”
***
“I see the reasons to dampen down public fears,” Russell said. “But scientifically, we’re in the middle of the first experiment of multiple, serial passages of Ebola virus in man…. God knows what this virus is going to look like. I don’t.”
Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the CDC in Atlanta, said health officials were basing their response to Ebola on what has been learned from battling the virus since its discovery in central Africa in 1976. The CDC remains confident, he said, that Ebola is transmitted principally by direct physical contact with an ill person or their bodily fluids. [Well, yes ... everyone knows that physical contact with the victim or their fluids is the prime route of exposure.]
***
Finally, some also question the official assertion that Ebola cannot be transmitted through the air. In late 1989, virus researcher Charles L. Bailey supervised the government’s response to an outbreak of Ebola among several dozen rhesus monkeys housed for research in Reston, Va., a suburb of Washington.
What Bailey learned from the episode informs his suspicion that the current strain of Ebola afflicting humans might be spread through tiny liquid droplets propelled into the air by coughing or sneezing.
“We know for a fact that the virus occurs in sputum and no one has ever done a study [disproving that] coughing or sneezing is a viable means of transmitting,” he said. Unqualified assurances that Ebola is not spread through the air, Bailey said, are “misleading.”
Peters, whose CDC team studied cases from 27 households that emerged during a 1995 Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo, said that while most could be attributed to contact with infected late-stage patients or their bodily fluids, “some” infections may have occurred via “aerosol transmission.”
Skinner of the CDC, who cited the Peters-led study as the most extensive of Ebola’s transmissibility, said that while the evidence “is really overwhelming” that people are most at risk when they touch either those who are sick or such a person’s vomit, blood or diarrhea, “we can never say never” about spread through close-range coughing or sneezing.
“I’m not going to sit here and say that if a person who is highly viremic … were to sneeze or cough right in the face of somebody who wasn’t protected, that we wouldn’t have a transmission,” Skinner said.
Peters, Russell and Bailey, who in 1989 was deputy commander for research of the Army’s Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, in Frederick, Md., said the primates in Reston had appeared to spread Ebola to other monkeys through their breath.
Will the L.A. Times article finally push the CDC to require respirators for front-line healthcare workers treating Ebola patients? Or will we need a full pandemic before CDC changes its outdated policy?
The Times’ article also confirms other points we’ve been making:
- Ebola might be contagious even when the victim isn’t showing any symptoms
- Travel screening is a joke

Infected person gets on a plane US bound. cough cough !
Taking the person temperature on arrival TOO FUCKING LATE!
Screening got to be done on boarding on every flight world wide.
Who in their right mind would board a flight now, get seated beside an unknown splattering scum.
The Ebola virus stays alive outside of the body for several hours.
The CDC is claimed to have SEVENTY-ONE PATENTS on the 'EBOLA' virus. One takes out a PATENT when one has come up with a new INVENTION or DERIVITAVE or IMPROVEMENT of such.
I seem to recall reading that one of the derivitaves was made to be AEROSOLIZED in about the year 2006 (but it wasn't 'virulent enough' for effective distrubution with the outcomes HOPED and planned for). (NOT) Coincidentally, this was the same time-frame that the U.S. Congress and the Bush administration were all of a sudden pushing for NEW REGULATIONS regarding Big Pharma research into 'gene splicing' and the ability to break in to 'CHIMERA' research ('Chimera' refers to cross-breeding by gene-splicing between different SPECIES of plants AND/OR animals, also known as 'HYBRIDS'). These sick fuckers wanted to use aborted human baby parts and try to recombine them in other types of living matter in order to create a 'synergistic effect'. Growing replacement heart parts in a lab made of pig veins and dead baby blood, or human penises (as has just happened). MIRACULOUS so to speak, but the DARK SIDE of this research has led to all KINDS of other things as well. WEAPONIZED EBOLA, recombinant SPANISH FLU from 1918, and all sorts of other shit.
WHICH VERSION of the EBOLA virus stays alive outside the body for ONLY several hours? The last one that I recall was in 2004 or so.
PLUM ISLAND. LYME DISEASE. SHIT! THAT happened in the 1970's! IMAGINE what these fucking maniacal pricks can do NOW!
Hussein bought his stockpiles of SARIN NERVE GAS from the fucking CONUS (the shit he sprayed the Kurds with in the 1980's). The ANTHRAX LETTER ENVELOPE SHIT right after 9/11 was traced DIRECTLY (fucking DIRECTLY!) to a lab in Ft. Deitrich, Maryland, for God's sake (NOT 'Al-Q'aida' [AKA 'the list' or the {data}base], or 'Saddam Hussein' or 'Iran' or Afghanistan' or 'ISIS' or 'Osama Bin Laden' [AKA 'Tim Osmon']).
"The Ebola virus stays alive outside of the body for several hours."
This version is particularly virulent. The CDC has done their seminal work. The people AT LARGE had better start thinking about total deconstruction of the corpses. Creamation with accelerants and confined within iron boxes followed by storage at a fucking nuclear waste facility might be an option. Reports of healthcare workers who have died while still taking the protocols of level-5 disease remediation in the field (including full Tyvex 'Andromeda Strain' suits) have been reported in the nations hit the hardest. They need to start thinking in terms of self-contained breathing apparatuses, because their air filters are not sufficient. This shit is NANO-sized. It's the ONLY LOGICAL explanation.
THANKFULLY, it costs a tremendous amount of capital to manufacture. I would estimate, for example, that the amount of 'Thermate' ('nano-thermite') used in the demolition of the WTC complex structures probably cost several hundred billion dollars (probably up to a quarter of the two point three TRILLION dollars that Rumsfeld declared as 'missing' from the Pentagon Budget on September 10, 2001).
I don't blame you for not keeping up with the events. I presume that you still have an active television within your domicile (and are on FACEBOOK and TWITTER and shit like that).
Whatever this so-called 'EBOLA' is (AND, it's NOT a 'VIRUS'), I would presume that it is some type of accelerant that reacts with something atmosperic (whether naturally or artificially induced). It causes bleeding from pores in the skin, and all over the body, that is indicitative of a reactant. Obviously, it also does the same to the inside of the body as well, causing hemmorhaging from vital organs that require whatever agent is pre-placed within the atmosphere that the body has absorbed through the bloodstream. I would look for high levels of Barium and Strontium and Aluminum in the blood serum of the victims so proscribed. UV-C irradiation might also play a factor; especially in the region involved (Sub-Saharan Africa).
It's a dual/multi-purpose event, you know.
"Chemtrailing" is NOT just some 'conspiracy theory'.

Ebola Syndrome 1996 uncut
Hong Kong 1986: A restaurant employee murders his boss and mutilates his wife, he escapes to South Africa where he rapes a Zulu-girl, who is infected with the ebola virus. In the restaurant where he now works he murders his boss and the bosses wife after raping her. He chops them up and makes them into hamburgers, which he sells in the restaurant, spreading the ebola virus. When the police come on his trail he moves back to Hong Kong and an ebola epidemic starts there.

Hillary is that you? I understand you need something to spice up your lovelife with Bigsis and the galpals - but try to keep it a bit more under wraps , will you. We are working very hard to get you in 2016. We don´t need negative publicity.
P.S
George sends his best.
George?
After all these years, I didn't expect to hear from you again.
I went through personal trials after they kicked me off of the Senate panel and revoked my law license during the Watergate Operation. Can you IMAGINE my shame? I mean, fucking LAWYERS telling ME that I was not crooked and corrupted enough for THEM? I tried every legal venue (including trying to get Sirica to fuck me), but I guess I'm undesirable or something.
That thing with Billy was O.K., I suppose, but he's simply a horny bastard who would fuck a snake if you held it's mouth open. I didn't care, though. I mean, LOOK at that LEWINSKY bitch, the FAT COW!
ANYWAY, George, I was wondering if you are still able to keep up with me. I think I'm a MILF, you know, and anyone who turns their parents in to the NAZIS during WARTIME gets me exited. You have such POWER!
Keep me in mind.
XOXOXO
Hilly ;)
P.S.
I am using scented 'Summer's Eve' douches now. I've only had ONE brat, so I'm not too loose. If you want that OTHER hole like you said, we can talk about it.
Dear Hilly,
Thanks for your prompt reply. After all women are this months flavor so to speak and we have great plans for you!
Yes- Hungary!Those were my salad days.I was a hero! At least to myself.Did you see that interview I gave in the FT about gold and its pricing? I told the reporter that I thought gold was really useful only during the 1940 - 1945 time and perhaps immediately afterwards , especially in Argentina.When he asked about mining industry I told him it was hyped and there are alternative ways of extracting value.And then I laughed demonically.The reporter - an American oaf MBA-like character didn´t understand one iota.He actually seemed to think that everything was about successful business and investing! I guess that´s why I am rich and he still is poor.
Anyway me and the boys have some important things to discuss with you. Do you think we should unleash putting the folks in the FEMA-camps during your first or second period? We have made extensive research and have run computer simulations. Bare minimum it will be a rerun of 1917 in Russia or the 40-ies in Europe.Even if we don´t succeed in holding on to the paradigm for more than 10 - 15 years it will create the same perfect conditions for wealth transfer for those in the know. And we know and we know that you know. But we must emphasize that you need to keep Bill in line.For being such an wholly unscrupolous person he is remarkably concerned with how things look.Like when he gave that deposition on the blowjob and only could worry about if his hair had been correctly blowdried. Doesn´t do any good if he starts shooting off his mouth wanting to have a nice veneer on everything , him being a former President and all.You know - the Presidents don´t call any shots.At all. We call all of the shots. Also those that come your way.
Have to end now - but I think we should keep in contact. Great things will be happening Mrs President.
Yours forever
George
P.S.
CFR wants to publish our letters in a special appendix to their monthly journal. I think we should. It´s not like ordinary people read those kind of things and even if they would - they don´t understand it.They are only interested in the league of the brain damaged, NFL and the Kardashians. Speaking of them - I would like to discuss certain arrangements for entertainment in my next letter. All work no play makes a dull (future President)

Page through the comments at the headline (right arrow). wow.
A while back the news reported the killing of quite a few heath care workers..... by the locals....
Perhaps the news should also have included this in the report.... it is a 2005 article written up Oxford Journal... British Medical Bulletin... (WHO and Doctors with out boarder also have like articles confirming the basic facts in this article...) because of the outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever in Angola in 2004–2005.... you see this one was a little different... it was mostly children and most of them died... it happened in the wrong time of year and in the wrong geologic area of the county......
http://bmb.oxfordjournals.org/content/73-74/1/123.full
This is an excerpt from Eurosurveillance
"While children under the age of 5 years initially accounted for around 75% of cases, recent cases have included an increasing number of adults."
http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=2677
Here is the scoop...
They wanted a virus to remove the unneed and unwanted population masses of the earth.... so, ebola fits the bill...
It is going to go thru the third world and do it's thing, including the Middle east, it will wipe out some of China and will hit much of the poor in the US... why the poor.... because the people who have the resources have already purchased the food stuff, etc to remain isolated while it runs it's course... the poor suckers that live week to week on paychecks are shit out of luck......
Yes it is coming to the US.... if not this time than next........
Facemasks will prevent it so I expect to see the peeps everywhere dressing up to their eyeballs with:

"In the case of Ebola, our leaders want us to remain unconcerned. They have it under control, they say. And yet infected people keep popping up. Not to worry, they say....Former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel once said: “Our society finds truth too strong a medicine to digest undiluted. In its purest form, truth is not a polite tap on the shoulder. It is a howling reproach.” Our leaders underestimate the ability and desire of the public to respond to the truth with sober minds. We can handle the truth, if our government will only tell it to us."

Ugly wrench in the progressive's immigration political gearup of open borders
Their giving out free flu shots this month where I work. Im not getting one. They tell you there's no mercury in it or its not enough to cause any problems. Well Mercury stays in your body for a long time. So if you get a shot every year, that shit builds up in your brain. Eventually Alzheimers.
You worry about the side effects because you no longer worry about the disease because vaccines reduced or eradicated them.
Why hasn't the infected/population gone down in direct proportion to the vaccinated population?
Explain that and then tell me how effective they are.
I quit getting flu shots 6 years ago, coincidentally (according to my doc), I quit getting the flu the same year.
Vaccinations intentionally LOWER your immune system.
Don't believe me though, keep believing the guys with the seven-figure FOR LIFE salaries, I'm sure they are telling the truth.
Just ignore facts when medical propaganda keeps us so freaking fit and healthy.
In Dallas there are discussions involving how Pink Eye is transmitted - it seems ebola may have some similarities.
bugs..throughout SE Asia, pink-eye or "conjunctivitis" is VERY contagious. Take some beach sand, force eyelid to stay open, add sand. Now blink...yeweeearrrggghhhh! That is pink eye. Incredible shoots of pain. Off scale.
It gets serious and leads to complications if not dealt with. I was having lunch with his beau and I looked at her and said "let's go, NOW!" We all walked over to a pharmacy nearby and $5 had the presciption eyedrops (antibiotic) that would soon clear her condition up. Close call. I wash my hands all the time while living in Asia. And I take over many bottles of Hibiclens(check with various stores).
Transmissibility of pink eye? Amazingly so. Like fans blowing air about (Fans are everywhere in Africa and SE Asia btw...), hands near face, touching, ANYTHING. If ebola mimics pink eye, game over for many.
I believe the CDC is near worthless. They seem to be tainted by politics - just as everything else the 0-Tard administration has influence over.
I saw a press conference where the CDC head said that the Administration was "Leaning Forward".... that was all I needed to hear. I then knew he wasn't worth listening to, and his credibility was destroyed, as far as I'm concerned.
Then you also have the backwards statements like them saying that cutting off travelers from nations where Ebola is spreading will make it worse for us (paraphrasing).... WTF???
The news in this article is not unexpected because many viruses are able to be spread in that manner. Americans ignored Ebola while thousands of people died in Africa, now that one person gets sick in America it has become an "Oh My God" moment. This virus has worked overtime to pick up "critical mass."
I'm referring to the point where enough people are infected with the virus that it can sustain a chain reaction and expand out of control. The bad news is Ebola may have already reached critical mass and may now be impossible to contain. The economic and humanitarian implications of this are massive and it could change everything. More on why we should be very concerned in the article below.

Cold or flu? Mom: Cover your mouth and nose while coughing or sneezing.
Ebola? CDC: Don't bother. It's not airborne transmittable.
Hmmmmm.
That's right, coughing and sneezing ebola on airplanes, just what is needed. Put it right into the HVAC system and spread it to the entire plane as the virus reproduces in the warm damp ducts and filter media with all the rest of the cold and flu virus's fermenting there. Then fly the damn thing around for a week or so spreading the crap as far and wide as possible never disinfecting the system.
You think fecal matter and snotty fingers on walmart buggies spreads contagion, the airliners will be the walmart buggies from hell in the sky.
Buggies?? Oh...you mean shopping cart.
Though there is a technical difference between airborne and aerosolized, to the average American, they are the same thing. Cough, sneeze. It's airborne, regardless of the words you use to describe it.
duplicate
Chill, people. The two primary diagnostic tests for Ebola—the antibody and the PCR—are completely useless for verifying the presence of millions of Ebola virus in a patient—which is what you need to begin to say that patient is an “Ebola case.” We are being scammed.
The tests ARE worthless.
We ARE being scammed, all the time.
Problem is, they want to reduce the population by 90% because we're "useless eaters" and Ebola can do it.
Where is the statement from the CDC comporting w/ the article title ? Yes, a former employee states such. I'm not trying to be contrary, just that when the CDC acknowledges airborne transmission, it will be a huge story. Not there quite yet.
No, CDC does not admit airborne. Only cough and sneeze-borne.
But they DID say today that airborne is possible: http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/220046-cdc-airborne-ebola-possible-...
Great work GW, kudos and tip of the respirator to ya!
Many believe that ebola is spread by the CIA and is therefore very very contagious.
at a 50% survival rate with aerosol transmission the most effective means of treatment is the execution post haste of anyone with the disease and the cremation of the body with phosphorus.
Ebola is caused by germs? I thought it was caused by evil spirits. I seriously need to rethink my containment strategy.
Depends on what you mean by 'caused'.
Ebola samples were collected and cultured by biowarfare labs, and the current strains of Zaire ebola may have been weaponized by the same psychopaths.
Ebola is spread through incompetent, self-serving dual-citizen psychopathic bureaucrats.
If you consider psychopaths as humans hosting evil spirits, then yes, evil spirits cause ebola.
This would be where I would tout the woodchipper solution if it was legal.
The possibility of reliable areosol transmission was discussed some years ago - Ebola Zaire in Pigs - http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2011/05/study-pigs-susceptible-deadly-ebola-strain.
So, hardly "stunning new discovery" then is it.
when pigs fly
We need a brilliant and honest scientist running the CDC, not a political whore.
I'll settle for an average competent Honest Bureaucracy.

I like the right in the face part. I'd be suspect of in the same room, not to mention possibly greater distances.
Dr. Dual Citizen is a fucking IDIOT and should be fired from his job for gross negligence by failing to properly protect the citizens of America. But then again we already know that's not his job. He follows orders, rather than giving them.
Three meter transmission among monkeys is almost ten feet. So in a 20 X 20 room, people could become infected randomly until all were infected after a while from one source.
Send them and their children in the same room with Duncan for several hours to show us that there's nothing to fear if they don't touch Duncan. The reality there has been no scientifically valid experiment proving their claim that it is not air borne. The opinion of a political hack is worthless.
I am from the CDC and we are here to protect you.
....shit is hitting the fan with military precision. All unfolding to schedule as ForWard MILITARY Base gets built outside of Monrovia. All planned years ago.
I have a buddy now enroute to the Dark Continent. He is architect/advisor to the PERMANENT military base now arising from the grasses and "within the wire." His salary? A sweet $950k USD per annum. I asked him to place my name in his will. We laughed. I asked about taxes...all paid and then all returned to recycled to a Cayman Island bank run by Mitt Rommney BAINE CAPITAL. Bain? Great name.
A permanent base under the guise of a bunch of field hospitals, great cover story. This has everything to do with future resources battles vs China.
I brought up contagion and my buddy replied "...I just got vaccinated." Wait, wtf is going on? So, ZMapp and other available goodies to the upper echelon of US Military no affected by the Zaire strain?
This is not going to end well. From a military pov, all going well. Much easier to control a decimated population with carte blanche.
And down this rabbit hole of real purpose we go. YOU got this absolutely right.
Smoke and mirrors (and oil and resources) under the guise of a teleprompted "human health emergency". It has every single thing to do with combat boots on the ground and military installations.
It is impossible to have any respect for US anymore.
WhackoWarner...memorable name. You got it, the entire goal is to get military boots ON DAH GROUND. So what if we have to burn through 5-25k "folks."
Recall the Joseph KONY hoax of a year ago? What was the final 45 seconds of the breakout YouTube vid? Send in the US Military. What was the end 10 seconds by President Lynon B. Johnson and Gulf of Tonkin...MIC crank up!
Ebola is the sad cover story. A major military base is paramount from which to launch incursion to sever Chinese supply lines. 'Dis shit be getting real.
And it is just beginning, top half of the 1st Inning....
