    H5N1 and Ebola are on two different levels.
    Media putting this out of proportion? Possibly.

    There is no question about the media's role in their personal quest to destroy the planet one word at a time but, I have a hard time comparing Ebola and the Bird Flu.

    People need to calm the f@&k down. Unless someone infected pukes, poops or bleeds on you there's virtually no way to become infected.

    When did we become a bunch of pu$$ies? :mad:

    You have been reading too much CDC propaganda. Riddle me this batman; if that were true why are so many medical professionals in hazmat suits getting infected?

    What medical workers in hazmat suits getting sick? You mean the untrained Liberian medical staff with only N-95 masks and 2 year old nitrile gloves? Give me a break.

    Because it's fucking Liberia and Sierra Leone lol. They have to reuse gloves/bio suits and whatever other hazmat materials there are. When someone is extremely overworked like they are with such awful infrastructure your gonna have a bad time.

    The population is also hostile and ignorant. One man found out he had Ebola and his first reaction was that he spat in the doctors face.

    :rofl:

    I'm not sure I've seen anyone panic. I don't even recall panicking when some fucking tard didn't wash his hands in a restaurant I ate in along with 35ish others all were given the gift of hepatitis(yes, the kind that goes away) and my liver ballooned to the size of a football the 2+ weeks I was hospitalized with no cure. You either die or get better. Much like this shit.
    I will try my best to make you proud and not be a pussy :).

    Yeah that this shit can be airborne. Saying there's virtually no way to get infected other than in contact with bodily fluids is incompetent.

    From Wikipedia


    Transmission

    Human-to-human transmission can occur via direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from an infected person (including embalming of an infected dead person) or by contact with objects contaminated by the virus, particularly needles and syringes.[17] The potential for widespread EVD infections is considered low as the disease is only spread by direct contact with the secretions from someone who is showing signs of infection.[17] The symptoms limit a person's ability to spread the disease as they are often too sick to travel.[18] Because dead bodies are still infectious, local traditional burial rituals may spread the disease.[19] Nearly two thirds of the cases of Ebola in Guinea during the 2014 outbreak are believed to be due to burial practices.[20] Semen may be infectious in survivors for up to 3 months.[21] It is not entirely clear how an outbreak is initially started.[22] The initial infection is believed to occur after ebola virus is transmitted to a human by contact with an infected animal's body fluids.
    One of the primary reasons for spread is that the health systems in the part of Africa where the disease occurs function poorly.[23] Medical workers who do not wear appropriate protective clothing may contract the disease.[24] Hospital-acquired transmission has occurred in African countries due to the reuse of needles and lack of universal precautions.[25][26] Some healthcare centers caring for people with the disease do not have running water.[21]
    Airborne transmission has not been documented during EVD outbreaks.[2] They are, however, infectious as breathable 0.8– to 1.2-μm laboratory-generated droplets.[27] The virus has been shown to travel, without contact, from pigs to primates, although the same study failed to demonstrate similar transmission between non-human primates.[28]
    Bats drop partially eaten fruits and pulp, then land mammals such as gorillas and duikers feed on these fallen fruits. This chain of events forms a possible indirect means of transmission from the natural host to animal populations, which has led to research towards viral shedding in the saliva of bats. Fruit production, animal behavior, and other factors vary at different times and places that may trigger outbreaks among animal populations.[29]

    Excuse me, why is what I meant.
    If this isn't airborne then why have the need to evaluate them? I highly doubt patient zero went up to them licked/sneezed/vomited/spread his blood on them...
