Ebola, What You Need To Know, v What The Government is Telling Us

Patriots, Friends, Countrymen and Women:

My opinion, that is now being shared by medical professionals is that government is not being forthright with the American public. If I am wrong you will simply have cleaner hands.

The average person does not give much thought to who has touched doorknobs, handles, public faucets, water fountains, shopping carts, gas nozzles and so forth before them. Tracing back one Ebola victim is a herculean job. Tracing everything they have touched outside their home while contagious is virtually impossible.

The CDC and the government have yet to inform us how long Ebola germs can live after an infected person has sneezed into the air or their hand. Saliva, nasal mucus and so forth. If the government really wanted to prevent panic they would have answered these questions. My distrust of government makes me wonder if this might be our 'October surprise'. Think about that stylus you will use at the polling place when you vote. Who has handled it?

My aim is not to frighten you but to get you to think about the possibilities so you can take action you feel appropriate. If you trust the government implicitly, do nothing.

The whole point is to not use your hands to touch things everyone else has touched

because we touch our faces thousands of times a day without even knowing it.

-Use cheap plastic sandwich bags on your hand while pumping gas and throw them away there at the station after use

-Keep packets of handi-wipes in your purse or pocket for wiping off airplane armrests,

restaurant armrests and tables.

-Use a stylus, pen or pencil to push ATM buttons or elevator buttons

-Use a small rolled up newspaper so you can throw it away

-At the very least use your knuckle instead of your fingers to push elevator buttons

-Remember to use the stores Purell wipes or your own handiwipes on shopping cart handles

-Push doors open with your shoe tip or back of your arm or elbow

-Door handles on store doors that need to be pulled open are challenging not to grab so keep a tissue or handiwipe in your hand for those

-Take advantage of toilet seat protectors when available or lay toilet paper down on the seat.

-Try to stock up on groceries so you make less trips to the grocery store

-Order online - some grocery stores deliver for free if you place a minimum order

A little advance planning will give you an advantage over those that  do not.

I have been waiting for the CDC or the government to inform us how long the Ebola virus can live outside the human body. They have conspicuously avoided telling us. Where AIDS can only live for a few minutes outside the body, Ebola can live for up to 10 days. If an infected, contagious person were to sneeze into their hand and then touch a doorknob, water faucet, shopping cart or shake your hand, well you get the idea.

I see people all the time use the men's room, wash their hands and then touch the handle or knob which is a Petri dish for germs.

Freelance Reporter Diagnosed With Ebola

Anyone want to venture a guess as to how this reporter contracted Ebola in Liberia? Remember it is 'not contracted by air', we have the governments assurance on that, so he must have stuck himself with a needle or had direct contact with bodily fluids. Reminds me of the old story told by a married man when he contracted a 'social disease' aka venereal disease. He contracted it from an unprotected toilet seat. Clearly, we are not being given the whole story.

How Far Reaching Are Germs?

Many are concerned that Ebola could go airborne. Technically, this virus can only be spread through bodily fluids. The virus spreads when saliva, mucous, blood, vomit, feces, or other bodily fluids of an infected person come into contact with someone else’s mucus membranes. The emphasis on this is it has to be a symptomatic infected person.
One virologist, Alan Schmaljohn at the University of Maryland School of Medicinewas asked if Ebola was airborne and states, “With Ebola, large droplets — which neither travel very far nor hang in the air for long — are the real risk factors. That means an Ebola-infected person would likely have to cough or sneeze up blood or other bodily fluids directly in your face for you to catch the virus, Schmaljohn says. If that drop of blood doesn’t land on your face, it will just fall to the ground. It won’t be swimming in the air, waiting to be breathed in by an unsuspecting passerby.” Source
However, there are differing opinions. Recently, the CDC warned of infectious diseases of this sort spreading through the air. As well, in a novel study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), researchers show that coughs and sneezes have associated gas clouds that keep their potentially infectious droplets aloft over much greater distances. The fluid droplets expelled in coughs and sneezes are a combination of sizes—ranging from 1 micrometer to 800-900 micrometers. “The idea was that we mostly transmit diseases through the larger droplets that fall on other people and surfaces,” says study coauthor Lydia Bourouiba, Ph.D., assistant professor at MIT. Researchers previously thought that those larger droplets were going to travel farther than the smaller ones—reaching about 1 meter while the smaller droplets stayed around 30-50 centimeters in front of you.
The study made a startling realization: there’s a crucial respiratory cloud that you expel every time you sneeze or cough, which is made up of hot/moist air and some water. This cloud actually enhanced the range and travel length of the smaller droplets, helping them travel way farther than they previously thought.

Word from Industrial Supply Reps regarding Ebola from GLP Forum:

Talked with a rep today who deals with hospitals all around the Western Pa region and he stated that if you are not prepared for isolation, you will be when it happens.
Hospitals, Schools and large businesses are meeting behind closed doors discussing how they should prepare for possible quarantine.
He said that most in the Gov't are freaking out because the spread to this country could be a lot higher in a quicker fashion than what's taking place in Africa right now because we don't have enough procedures in place to make the public fully aware of how bad the situation is.
Over the next few days/21 he said that it would be a surprised to see at least 1 person in nearly 20 states be verified infected.
He was told by hospital higher ups who are buying from him that they are stocking up for a quarantine scenario that could last 3 to 6 months. The person at the hospital specifically told him if he does not have 3 months of supplies on hand, a weapon (gun) and the ability to lock down the house with bleach and air tight plastic, you will be screwed.
He was also told, given the situation even if you are not infected, you could still be put into a quarantine restricted area. Meaning, say your child goes to school and is in 1st grade but a 6th grader becomes infected, even though your child has never been in contact, you will be considered high risk and put into lock down in your house. If you leave, you'll be arrested. Someone from DHS or CDC will mark your house to let people know that you are inside and under quarantine.
Sounds too far to be true but I don't know why this guy would bs me, I've known him for years and he was telling me to basically go out this weekend and get the stuff I need to make sure that if it comes to this, I'm protected.

Take it for what it's worth. I guess the take away is, be prepared.

Another Post from GLP Forum:

I am a sales rep and I sell infectious disease equipment into hospitals. My docs have told me that there are three other infected in different hospitals. It will be made public within next two days. Our sales have skyrocketed. The problem is that the only thing that kills Ebola is bleach. Buy bleach and prepare to be on lock down in your houses for the next two months to wait out the infection.

The government is really dragging their feet here. They don't want panic but they do believe that it is isolated. They are nuts! Everyone take care and HELP your neighbors to get informed....don't be an a$$&*#@ even IF your neighbor is an a$$&*#@, helping them get prepared just may save your life and those you love! 

Please take precautions and be safe.
