Precisely - sweat is one of the transmission vectors. I'm looking forward to the government health warning campaign slogan "Don't pet the sweaty things" :-D

Ebola virus outbreak: live [^] Possible evacuation of Americans infected with Ebola triggers fears in U.S. [^] Is this just media outlets milking a story or should we be worried? (personally I'm not worried but seems like a good topic for conversation).
They're taking them to a hospital right near the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. These guys kinda know what they're doing... Besides, worst case... It's just Georgia... :-D
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Can't they just disimigrate them back to Nigeria? (I am going to have to hide after that! :omg: )

yeah right. That's why they accidentally shipped the deadly 5N1 bird flu strain (I think that's what it was) to several labs around the country, and it was only discovered recently. I don't trust the CDC with the spittle from my sneeze. [edit] Oh yeah, your question. Overreaction. [/edit] Marc

When was the last outbreak, 2000? We had the media winding us up about H5N1, chicken flu, avian flu, chinesse stirfried chicken flu, and pretty much everythig else, so I am tempted to say, dont sweat it.

But don't they have a point with the flu thing? As I understand it what we call Common Flu now is a strand of the Spanish flu which appeared in 1918, travelled back with the returning WW1 Soilders and ended up killing more people than WW1. The reason it doesn't kill as much anymore is we;ve built up an immunity to it. But every hundred years or so the Flu virus manages to mutate into a strain that can bypass our immune system and kill a high percentage that contract it. I think all the strains you have mentioned have the killer aspect, they just can't be airbourne yet and it's only a matter of time before one of them acheive this through mutation or cross strain breeding?
