MODE OF TRANSMISSION: In an outbreak, it is hypothesized that the first patient becomes infected as a result of contact with an infected animal (15). Person-to-person transmission occurs via close personal contact with an infected individual or their body fluids during the late stages of infection or after death (1, 2, 15, 27). Nosocomial infections can occur through contact with infected body fluids due to the reuse of unsterilized syringes, needles, or other medical equipment contaminated with these fluids (1, 2). Humans may be infected by handling sick or dead non-human primates and are also at risk when handling the bodies of deceased humans in preparation for funerals, suggesting possible transmission through aerosol droplets (2, 6, 28). In the laboratory, infection through small-particle aerosols has been demonstrated in primates, and airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated (1, 6, 13). The importance of this route of transmission is not clear. Poor hygienic conditions can aid the spread of the virus (6).

There was a report by a US Border Official a few weeks ago who said, that this is the "FIRST" case(s) of an Ebola outbreak that has started in the Cities not the jungle. Every other outbreak has started in the jungles and made its way into the city.
He said, "This is almost like it was planted in 3 African cities on purpose!"

This is not intended to stir up a debate about race (racism) nor nationalism, nor marginalization of any ethnic group, so please be polite. Instead, let's consider this to be a discussion about national security and economic preservation of resources, please. Thank you.
