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).”
Just say hes lying.
Clueless !
Trained doctors catch Ebola, so how will our untrained troops, that Obama hates, fare, when they go to shoot Ebola. But Obama hates the troops, and is giddy about sending them to the Ebola hot zones. But he hates us, too, and he is giddy about the troops coming home, and infecting us. And he is a trained liar. And says not to worry. It is really hard to catch the disease, and certainly you cannot catch it on a bus. And that is why the doctors, who get the disease, anyway, always wear hazmat, and breathing protection.
he is a LIAR and incompetent !
All it takes is one sneeze on you, droplet getting to your eye or an open wound
they don’t friggin know
Impeach and prison
Now who are you going to believe; the CDC or a pathological liar?
” There is something greater to the Throne, than the King himself.” ?
Jeremiah 23:1-4 What sorrow awaits the leaders of my people the shepherds of my sheep for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for,” says the Lord. Therefore, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to these shepherds: “Instead of caring for my flock and leading them to safety, you have deserted them and driven them to destruction. Now I will pour out judgment on you for the evil you have done to them. But I will gather together the remnant of my flock from the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their own sheepfold, and they will be fruitful and increase in number. Then I will appoint responsible shepherds who will care for them, and they will never be afraid again. Not a single one will be lost or missing. I, the Lord, have spoken!
