If Ebola reaches the Philippines, you'll know who to blame...

Regarding Ebola transmission: bodily fluids also include saliva right, the type that gets airborne when someone coughs or sneezes?

What if someone routinely takes bites off his bola-bola and dips it back into the sarsa?

AFAIK, the transmission by droplets (i.e. saliva or pulmonary) has not yet been proven in humans. Sa animals ata ganun.

Alam ko mahigpit na mga bola bola vendors sa double dip kaya benta nila may cardboard na plato at may kutsara na ang mga sauce.

West Africa Ebola outbreak could infect 20,000, spread further - WHO

This is a global health security issue.

baka someone is trying to weaponize it just like in
the last ship series.

sana ma-contain na lang sa current affected areas.

^that is if the virus mutates so that it can be transmitted by other means. As it is now would take several years, even decades before it infects that many people.

it can be contain kung makontrol yung affected na tao at maging aware lahat na nakakahawa at mabilis pumatay yung virus. as early as now, maikalat na ang awareness sa mga tao. what happen kasi is yung infected na tao kapag na nalaman na positive will try every possible way na hindi ma-quarantine at pipilitin pa magtago. yun namang makakasalamuha, malaki ang possibility na nahawa na rin, pero since wala pa symptoms kaya hindi mo mai-isolate. once magkaroon ng death, damay damay na at mabilis makahawa.

i should know kasi nandito ako sa nigeria

although hindi kasing grabe ng liberia, sierra leone at guniea but they have 6 deaths now. ang nagdala dito ay yung liberian-american na nagbiyahe at nag stop over dito. july 19 lumapag at nakita may sakit. dinala ng hospital pero di pa alam may ebola. after testing positive! july 23 namatay in span of 4 days. then yung doktor, nurse, 2 caregiver na nag-assist nahawa at nangamatay na rin, then yung asawa ng doctor nahawa ay tigok din, then yung isang nurse umuwi pa ng village niya tapos nai-quarantined pero namatay din. now naka-isolate yung buong lugar niya. lahat ng mga nakasalamuha ng mga namatay ay pilit tini-trace ng gobyerno pero mahirap i-kontrol ang tao. may isang diplomat na sumalubong dun sa liberian-american na namatay at alam na possible carrier siya pero bumiyahe pa rin papunta sa isang state. ayun, tigok na rin at maraming nahawa. yung hotel na tinirhan, clinic na pinagpagamutan ay pinasara na. yung mga empleyado na nag-assist na posibleng mahawa din, pilit hinahanap ng gobyerno para iquarantine. kung walang symptoms mahirap makontrol ang tao. tatakas yan at magtatago.

sana nga hindi makarating sa atin. kung mangyari yan, malamang ang carrier ay katulad kong OFW. di naman sana...
