Major hat tip to Shepherd of the Gurney's.
The above form is via Gateway Pundit....its highly recommended that you read the entire article.
Rant time.
I'm not a medical professional but do you get what they're saying in this advisory? Do you not realize that when people talk they're constantly spraying spittle? Do you not know that a sneeze has been measured flying further than the 3 feet they're quoting?
WHEN THE GOVT STARTS PARSING INFORMATION I GET SUSPICIOUS! When they put out disinformation during a matter of national security/public health I get pissed.
We are NOT being told the whole story about Ebola. In layman's terms, Ebola IS airborne.
"Is Ebola spread through droplets?
ReplyDeleteYes. To get Ebola, you have to directly get body fluids (like pee, poop, spit, sweat, vomit, semen, breast milk) from someone who has Ebola in your mouth, nose, eyes or through a break in your skin or through sexual contact."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaqha oh man thats funny. The official CDC flyer says "pee" and "poop"! I suppose that thats the level of professional language we should expect from them after this past month! Not "urine" or "feces" or "bodily wastes", Pee and Poop. Oh man, I'm sorry, I know this stuff is serious but just that cracked me up!
"Air, food, and water do not carry the Ebola germs"
Unless it has Pee and Poop in it!
Yes I know, I'm like a 4th grader, I can't stop giggling at that! heheehehehe
i get what you're saying but i believe that is by design. the news media, cultural elite and people suffering from "normalcy bias" will focus on those words and will ignore the parsing of words that the govt is pushing on the American people.
Deleteno matter how you slice it they're playing word games and being hyper precise. the minute they come up with just a little "truth" they lace it with baby talk to throw people off the real story.
its so brilliant its borderline evil.
I just kinda figured the CDC was trying too hard to get it out and make it understandable to people. I get trying to go a little bit for the least common denominator but geez. They need to give people a tiny bit of credit. Personally thats what I always took "Transmitted by bodily fluids" to mean. Shows how seriously you can take what they tell you. I'm personally trying to decide if/when to head for the hills or hunker down and wait it out. I'm probably screwed anyway since I work at an airport...
DeletePeople hear "transmitted by bodily fluids" and immediately think "HIV/AIDS", instead of "one cough or sneeze could kill you deader than canned tuna", which is what Ebola is.
DeleteThat goes double for the gov/media types responsible for 'splaining this to the masses.
That poster isn't so much a clever plot, as much as a recognization that earlier explanations were too jargonized into precise medicalese, and the entire world needed a cluebat upside the head so they'd start paying attention.
Only reason its writen like that is that stupid folks would understand it for sure .
DeleteI must admit I thought 'airborne' meant sneeze/cough.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I never got why people said it wasn't airborne
Still confused
You taught wrong , you can spit and sneeze couple of feet(large droplets containing viruses can be dispersed up to 15 feet with coughing and 5 feet from sneezing,) but its not airborne like flue which can easily enough be circulated trough a building ventilation system
Delete''In case of Flue the nuclei of those viruses are complete dry and extremely light, capable of staying airborne indefinitely to continue to spread the virus wherever the breeze or movement of the air takes them. Not only does the flu virus travel by direct human expulsion in breathing, coughing and speaking but it also moves through air passageways within an office, building, home or to the surrounding air outside. Cleaning the air through the use of UV lights that can sterilize and kill the RNA/DNA inside the nuclei of the flu virus is really the only effective solution.''
Ebola and the Flu spread essentially the same way. Flu droplets have an exposure range of about 6 feet, just about double the traditional range of Ebola. Technically, the Flu isn't 'airborne' either.
DeleteTrT
ReplyDeleteCough and sneeze particles are aerosolized water (actually snot/spit, w/blood and virus) droplets, which eventually obey gravity and hit the ground.
TB bacteria are light enough that they can float around in air currents like dust, and be inhaled by passers-by or smack into their eyes long after mere cough and sneeze drops have hit the deck.
That's why airborne Ebola would require pretty much everyone to bunker in indefinitely, and hazmat suited minions would have to decon or napalm...pretty much the world.
I'm pretty certain you're being a tad paranoid bud...
ReplyDeleteBesides, ebola panic is more dangerous...
