The US has patented Ebola and has had biological weapons experts in Africa studying it for years.
After long saying Ebola can't be transmitted through the air, the CDC has updated its website:
"Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease."Oops.
The Dallas Ebola patient had not traveled to Africa. He was from Africa. This was his first trip to America.
CDC plays politics by claiming a travel ban would make things worse.
