Anyone else worried about Ebola?

Donald Trump said the truth back last spring when he came out and said that the CDC could not be trusted with anything. They lost multiple vials of deadly viruses, and didn't know what happened to them. They even told us all about it months after it happened. Yet how can we trust them with a virus like Ebola?
Yep normally they tell us it came back negative, but this time nothing. No response at all. That is worrisome.
Still hushed it seems. Can't see what the big deal is either way...so it's puzzling they'd stay mum. And what is MORE worrisome, is that the news outlets seem to be in on it, as they obviously aren't digging for answers either. Why? What the heck?
Yeah..makes me wonder if things are wrose then im thinking it is...
Or, could just be that since the outbreak is no longer news, he or she tested negative, and simply doesn't want their name associated with it. Though how they got the press to cooperate, is a mystery. Unless some prominent person....
It does make us all wonder. Why is everything being so hushed up. Maybe it's just me but it makes me worry more when they stay quiet then when they say something.
even if they don't release names they should allow the public to know if it is negative or positive
The UN is going to fix it??? I wonder if they are going to fix it like they fix everything else???
I'll try to dig it up,it was only two days ago I read it...
and as I suspected,can't find it,but found something else and similar on two Finnish newspapers www.iltalehti.fi:tutkijat varoittavat;ebolaviruksessa mutaatio
and an interview in www.aamulehti.fi from dr Anavaj Sakuntabhai /BBC, this pesky virus mutates..
you get it obviously even a lot easier than before

I dare say that An epidemic would be one of the best to survive(less people around but most of the food and supplies still around) but surviving it is the thing that could change that,would be hard to survive unless you're careful
only problem is that someone is going to spread something nasty,not knowing he/she has it until it's too late,and you might be near that person and get it, so hard to fight against something small,deadly and invisible to the naked eye. ever since I went back to school,I've learned so much about these "bugs" and how easy they get transmitted and some are very resistant to antibiotics
For most plagues, there will be a certain percentage of folks who are immune. I suspect the vast majority of world survivors, for a global pandemic, would be due to this (and of course those who just managed to never be infected).
They just brought an infected aide worker to Maryland, and 10 potentially infected people spread over the country. I hope the risks are worth whatever they learn from bringing it here.
I don't believe we should worry ourselves sick to the point of making irrational decisions but to stay focused and keep an eye on the news and not just on one channel/station. Right now the news is a little dumbed down because of the elections here in the states so one has to read in between the lines a tab bit! Also as an FYI, I am seeing many sites pushing the N95 mask, keep in mind this mask filters down to .3 microns, ebola is roughly .08 microns that's .22 microns smaller then what the mask is capable of filtering
Haven't there been some people who had Ebola but survived without any sort of vaccinations? I think the standard precautions as well as keeping as healthy as possible is the best thing I could do if there is/was an outbreak in the States. However, as unlikely as it may seem at times, it's pretty ignorant to think that it'll never happen to me.
I was going to get N95's but now I think I'll get some N100's instead (at least, I think thats what they are called) so thanks for the info about the microns! Originally, I wanted masks for in case of a volcanic eruption or, even worse, an earthquake + volcanic eruption (I live close to the Hurricane Valley fault line, thats the only name I've been able to find for it) and yes, theres underground volcanic activity because they've been keeping a close eye on the mineral hot springs in Patempe (Pa Tempe?). They closed it down years ago but someone I know snuck down there with friends and after they got out, watched two scientists show up, suit up and get into the water and do some tests. Probably checking the temperature or something but it was still really interesting.
I know, it's damned riky being a first responder!
Actually, I'd always wanted to be an EMT on an ambulance, hasnt worked out yet but I still might go for it one of these days.with this it's like playing russian roulette with 5 bullets instead of one
but still I love the ambulance duty...
While the n100 is slightly better then the N95 (providing the N100 is 3M particulate respirator 8233) you aren't going to gain any better protection over the N95 against the ebola virus, as it stands now it's bodily fluid contacts as the only way to get ebola, for absolute protection something along the lines of a full hooded respirator, not that the N95/100 wouldn't help it would just offer marginal protection at best against the likes of ebola. I take issue with the stated sales pitch on many sites 'protection against ebola' and I only offer a word of caution if that's the only reason one is purchasing the N98/100.
When the mountain blew here our respirators clogged very fast giving us 30 to 45 minutes before we had to change respirators so keep several on hand
N95 not N98 oops
