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?

Probably not. Those who belong to Class A -C are more conscious of proper hygiene and have access to information on how to prevent getting infected.

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.
