    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?

    And class C-D people tend to take mass transport more often -- e.g. jeeps, buses, MRT -- where you sit or stand very very close to other people.

    And you inhale the air other passengers exhaled.

    Isn't ebola supposed to be transmitted thru bodily fluids? Meron na ba airborne transmission? Standing or sitting next to someone in a jeep or MRT isn't usually how you get ebola.

    Parang noong may SARS sa singapore. Pag bumahing ka or umubo ka sa MRT, it's like you commited a mortal sin.

    Everybody is staring at you. As if sinasabi nila....."lumayo ka sa amin!

    Eh dito pa sa atin, sobra siksikan sa MRT.

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

    sana naman hindi makarating ng Pinas maraming pasaway sa atin kaya ang tendency, mahirap ma-contain kung sakaling magkaroon ng cases.

    it can also be transferred by simply shaking hands, kasi may pawis. usually ang agad nahahawa mga medical personnels at immediate family members nila, kasi sila ang expose sa may-sakit. very contagious ang infected person lalo na yung bangkay.

    Frequently Asked Questions on Ebola virus disease - WHO

    People can be exposed to Ebola virus from direct physical contact with body fluids like blood, saliva, stool, urine, sweat etc. of an infected person and soiled linen used by a patient.

    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.
    Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

    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...

    thanks sir, talagang ingat lang. wala pa naman worry ng mga kapwa pinoy dito at ibang foreign expats. so far nako-contained pa naman. may mga contingency plan din ang company kung in case lumala. ang mahirap kapag nag-declare ng outbreak at hindi na payagan bumiyahe ang mga eroplano. then worst is, baka mag-declare din ng ban sa atin
