When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air.
More here.
And then there's this:
UM, CALL ME CRAZY, BUT cleaning up Ebola vomit with a pressure washer
seems like a lousy idea, with droplets blown into air and such. Note
the absence of protective gear. Note woman in sandals standing next to
runoff. Maybe they’d hosed everything down with bleach first. Somebody
please tell me this isn’t as bad as it looks...
After Katrina some people complained about FEMA's (and George W.'s) response to New Orleans--called it incompetent as all get out. Really now--as compared to what?
And also this:
These are just two examples of the utter incompetence of the so called 'authorities' in dealing with this epidemic. Sorry, but that's what it is and we're being led by the 'A'firmative 'A'ction team.

Can you trust this person?
or this one to keep you and your family from dying from Ebola?
Feel better? Yeah, right...

When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with
research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air.
The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for
Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public
Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to
monkeys. They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain
of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality
rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with
four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in
laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct
contact between the species.
Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of
infection indicative of Ebola infection. In pigs, Ebola generally causes
respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after
infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease.
Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs
of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick
too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two,
but transmission between non-human primates has never before been
observed in a lab setting.
