The 2nd nurse's mother works at Kent State University along with 2 other family members - all 3 of whom she spent time with during her visit last weekend. KSU has asked all 3 family members to stay off campus for 21 days & monitor themselves.

#3 I just posted a Breitbart story that says Ebola can be spread through the air we breath. If I never hear from that CDC fok Dr. Thomas Frieden again, it would be too soon.

#4 According to his Wikipedia entry, Frieden started out in infectious disease control but went to work for the New York City health department and focused on tobacco, AIDS, diabetes and food policies.

Back in the Jurassic Era when I was studying microbiology, the CDC was known as the Center for Disease Control and was highly respected. Today, it has become the Center for Disease Control and Prevention - a classic case of bureaucratic mission creep. You had one job...

Too lazy to look for the link, but someone did some experiments that showed NHPs (Non-Human Primates, aka monkeys and certain Democrats) could catch Ebola via the air from pigs - Ebola makes pigs sneeze along with it's better known symptoms. Monkeys could *not* catch it from infected monkeys via the air. This suggests *anything* that creates an aerosol creates a hazard. Yes, pressure-washing Ebola vomit off the sidewalk is one such activity. As is explosive diarrhea and projectile vomiting.
