Ebola transmits by air

Believe me (and others) or not, at your peril.

Just the main posts from the main thread. No time.
38 from hospital room? Touch? Sure. Tell me another one.

article talking about air

Infected the control monkeys in biocontainment lab ... by ... air.

Transmitted Ebola from pigs to monkeys via air. Found it in respiratory cells.

"supports the concept of airborne transmission" - they are trying to warn us but editors shut these papers down.

Hypothesis that it is not must cover all these edge cases as droplets, which again, was a made up thing from Chapin 1912.

Plus must account for modelling that shows it superspreads, and 3% of patients are responsible for 60-80% of cases or whatever.

I'm done w this denial
Main thread:



As I said at the top, personally, you believe as you wish. I'm not here to convince anyone. I just can't stand misinformation.
Other misinformation that will arise from denial/lack of crisis training:

Well people are certainly thinking about air on those numbers. Good

I'm not debating. Take it or leave it. Doesn't matter to me. Lots of info on PubMed. All free. People saying droplet haven't read, it's a knee-jerk resp

Not a single person has proven droplet in 3 yrs <shrug>
If you don't agree, no worries. Lots of Twitter left for you to explore :)
Like @EmojiSnakeGame, for example

Sounds like the locals understood more than some give them credit for.

They don't sound so panicky. They sound pretty darned logical actually, wanting isolation tents.

Didn't even want to come back to this thread but if people talk nonsense they get science back.

"Virtually all cell types" Image
/me taps the sign

Great little summary article.

Just one snippet here.

This whole article is a warning. It's just written in scientific language.

Disinformation *IS* a problem.

I will just point out it took me 5 seconds to find MORE refs about Ebola replicating in the lungs. There it is, hit #3 on a simple search. Oh, in fact #2 says it too. Image
Proof of those who assert _no_ replication in lung is on those who assert.

Please produce.
Hits #6 and #7 as well Image
I have another job, but here is the hit right after the CIDRAP one (see pic 1)

And if you pull the actual scientific report being referred to, it says it expressly (see pic 2) Image
Image
Ah, the one two after that, too.

Anyway, enjoy your research, all. Image
Took some heat for this post, then got blocked. Saving this for when I am vindicated. Might take some years.

I'll wait.

waiting patiently :)

@ExtroSpecteur I presume he is saying airborne mitigations should be equally alongside touch or droplet.

No, there is no evidence for any. As I keep saying, but happy to say again, for thousands of years people flipflopped between "it's touch" and "it floats but generates in swamps because ...
@ExtroSpecteur ... they did not understand pathogens. Once they did, referring to respiratory illness, they simply assumed it was droplet because most infections can be traced to an infected having been near the index case. Droplet became an idea with Chapin in 1910, to explain why one needed..
@ExtroSpecteur ...to be close. However, first, their idea of droplet was not necessarily 2 metres. Their idea of airborne was many kilometers, so their discussion of close has to be understood in this context. Two, their investigations were crude, by the 30s air people like Wells

Another one for the pile.

Call me in two years when you haven't heard anything at all about this vaccine.

And how would it be administered. We take shots every morning?

We have nasal vaccines for flu btw. Still have flu.
But hey 250,000 views. If I wanted to sell books I might post stuff like this. 🤷
Hey here are some other ideas:

sun entering cooling phase which should obviate climate change.

Just bang the like button. That's all we're here for I guess. Let's all be irresponsible. 🤷

It's always funny to me that virologists get everything and transmission so wrong. I guess because they work with viruses they think they know everything about them. 🤷

The sad part is we would assume that because they work with viruses they know everything about them. Image
*everything about
Virologists don't really work on transmission. Maybe sometimes they spin a tub and flip some in the air or something. But they don't really know what's going on. And then the doctors know the biological clinical side of things but they don't work on transmission either.

COVID-19 took measles out back and absolutely SHOT IT DEAD.

1 sick player infected 100% OF BOTH HOCKEY TEAMS - 42 people - then another 102 spectators.

172 people in total.

You can watch it sweep the first team then the second team then the stands in the epi curves.

Wow.

A few sick kids at a doctor's office?

Pfft, measles, get out of here you weakly-transmitting pathetic cold of a virus. Even pre-vax you weren't doing this.

SARS-CoV-2 is absolutely mind-blowingly transmissible.

Translation: it's already in humans
Imma help you with this "science speak"
Just remember the ladder of denial and elite panic myth means if you are hearing a 2 it's a 4. If a 4 it's a 6. If a 6 pack your bags. You'll never hear 8 and up the TV will just play static
