Ebola Virus May Be Airborne

by JASmius



Yes, folks, this pestilence can now apparently fly:

It’s feasible that the U.S. government is not being forthcoming with the American people about how easily the Ebola virus can be contracted and whether it’s an airborne virus, according to medical expert Dr. Jane Orient, who appeared Monday on Newsmax TV's “America’s Forum.”

"Feasible" being a code word for "They're blatantly lying to you about it".

“One of the biggest questions about this disease that I’m not sure the CDC is answering honestly is whether it’s contagious before the person has symptoms, particularly before he’s really sick,” she said.

“Some say, oh don’t worry about if a person is not really, really sick you’re not going to get it, it requires intimate contact. But by intimate may mean that somebody bled on you or threw up on you and one thing about this virus is it takes very, very few viral particles to establish an infection and you can catch it through your skin.”

And if you can catch Ebola through your skin, and it takes very, very few viral particles to establish an infection, then, ipso facto, you can probably catch it via airborne means.  At least on Logic World.

Thank Barack we live on Obama World, huh?

There is some evidence, she added, based on animal studies and the Canadian Public Health Service that the highly contagious virus is airborne.“

The CDC so far is saying that it isn’t you can’t get it through the air,” she said.

Because....why?  They don't want to spark a public panic?  It seems to me that people spontaneously liquefying in fountains and pyres of blood on the street will have a very similar mass psychological effect.  Ditto the slower, non-movie-eqsue infections where people just disappear and you only hear the rumors about the spontaneous projectile liquifications in hospital isolation wards.  Either way, when that starts happening, people are going to panic.

But isn't a public panic what Barack Obama wants?  "Never let a crisis go to waste," and all that?  Well, yes and no.  On the one hand, crises are fantastic when you can hold yourself out as a "Savior," the man with the plan to whom Da Peepul can turn for succor, rescue, and deliverance, at the slight price of turning over all their liberty and constitutional rights to you.  Crises are not so hot if you already have a burgeoning reputation, despite all your propaganda efforts to the contrary, as a bumbling, doltish, incompetent, indifferent divot-monger, and cannot stride to the microphones like a colossus, wave your magic putter, and conjure up an insta-cure.  On the other hand, he could still impose de facto martial law, and concentrate the quarantine zones in "red" states and enclaves in the hopes that mostly Tea Partiers and/or Republicans perish, so he'd still get his coup de tat.  It just wouldn't suck off his cosmic ego in the process.

And then there's always the likelihood that he and his Regime are simply congenitally incapable of transparency, and really believe that if the public isn't told about the looming Ebola pandemic boiling toward our shores, we'll remain calm when the chunky red rivers begin to flow, because we'll believe that Mexican condiments have suddenly grown hugely popular.  Or something.

Speaking of which:

Orient questioned why President Barack Obama is sending troops to Sierra Leone rather than the United States’ southern border.

“What if somebody is walking across the border who’s not yet sick?

"We know that West Africans have come across our southern border. In past years they’ve been apprehended we don’t know how many are coming who have not been apprehended so again, there are lots of routes by which this virus can enter the country and it won’t necessarily be on a CDC airplane with negative pressure to keep any potential of airborne virus from infecting them.”

"President" Barack Obama is sending troops to Sierra Leone for several reasons:

1) He actually gives a damn about non-American black lives.

2) The United States doesn't have a southern border.

3) He's having Sierra Leone relocated here.  And, you know, mutated airborne Ebola with it.  Because it's just not fair that all us American crackers shouldn't suffer our fair share of spontaneous projectile liquification, too.

Don't like that last one?  No problem; the first two are more than bad enough.
