| #4 The Ebola virus can only be transmitted by direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person while they are symptomatic. I hope she used those disposable toilet seat covers when using public rest rooms. It stands to reason that it has to have a dormant phase in bats or monkeys or whatever its natural reservoir is. |

| #3 They have also found the virus in a Dr.'s eye that was "cured" and laying dormant for months. Also the virus can be found in the semen of people that have been declared cured for up to 6 months so it can be transmitted sexually too. Either way, with this large number of people surviving it gives this virus an open door to mutate from what it was originally since the outbreak burned itself out it the past pretty quickly as everyone died. |
