In a video address to the people of West African countries, President Barack Obama stated that, “You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus.”
However, the CDC begs to differm, issuing advice to travelers, stating “avoid public transportation.”
“First, Ebola is not spread through the air like the flu,” Obama said in the video released by the White House Thursday. “You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone one a bus. You cannot get it from another person until they start showing symptoms of the disease, like fever.”
Obama also said that “the most common way you can get Ebola is by touching the body fluids of someone who is sick or has died from it, like their sweat, saliva or blood, or through a contaminated item like a needle.”
The CDC, however, is advising aid workers and others who travel to countries currently experiencing Ebola outbreaks to “avoid public transportation” if they develop a fever or experience other Ebola-like symptoms while on their trip.
Listed among their online recommendations for travelers journeying to Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria or Sierra Leone, the CDC advises travelers who begin to exhibit possible Ebola symptoms and choose to visit a doctor to “Limit your contact with other people when you travel to the doctor; avoid public transportation.”
The CDC also told travelers with Ebola symptoms, “Do not travel anywhere except to the doctor’s office or hospital.”
“If you get symptoms of Ebola, it is important to stay apart from other people and call your doctor right away,” the website continues.
The CDC also explains a person may contract Ebola if he or she “spends a long amount of time within three feet (one meter) of a person who is sick with Ebola.”
Recommended precautions to avoid contracting Ebola “includes wearing a mask over your mouth and nose, waterproof gloves, a gown (to protect clothing), and eye protection (goggles or a face shield – corrective glasses are not enough).”
On another page detailing Ebola exposure risks and “Public Health Actions,” the CDC reports there is “some risk of exposure” from “other close contact with an [Ebola] patient in health care facilities or community settings.” For these patients, the CDC recommends “If air transport is clinically appropriate and indicated, air medical transport only (no commercial conveyances permitted).”
i think he should take a bus ride filled with ebola pts, just to prove his theory 🙂
there’s that great education he has speaking again
Whatever pigman says, the opposite is true
shut -up you dumbass
WHY DON’T THIS LYING moooooooslime PILE OF DOG FECES TAKE HIS FAMILY TO WEST AFRICA TO HELP CARE FOR THE PEOPLE INFECTED WITH EBOLA? I’M SURE THEY WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR mooooochelle COOKING UP SOME OF HER NUTRITIOUS SCHOOL LUNCH MENUS FOR THEM. SHE COULD ALWAYS SUBSTITUTE FRESH KILLED BUSH MEAT FOR THE MEAT NORMALLY USED. THEIR DAUGHTERS COULD ENTERTAIN THE CHILDREN INFECTED WITH EBOLA. THEY SHOULD BE PERFECTLY SAFE SINCE EBOLA CAN ONLY BE TRANSMITTED BY DIRECT CONTACT WITH BODILY FLUIDS.
Like always, Obummer doesn’t know what he’s talking about____________ close contact with a contaminated person can give you the Ebola, so, Obummer is delusional………that’s nothing new, ………..phone calls can’t give you that deadly virus, Otherwises, we all would be contaminated, ………..looking at VP Joe biden, can give you the RUNS, but not the Ebola………listening to Nancy PELOSI, can give you the heebie jeebies, but not Ebola……voting for Hillary Clinton can prove you’re nuts, but not the Ebola……
Are you getting this yet, Obummer?
Yes you can, maggot!
Clueless
He is an idiot it can be spread through secretions and that includes sweat and other microscopic particles.
He’s such a liar.
