Canadian man in isolation with potentially deadly virus

Ebola actually doesn't spread that easily. You pretty much have to have direct contact with an infected person. Unfortunately, it's in Guinea now and they thought in Liberia. That wasn't true, but if so the city of Monrovia stands no chance. Monrovia has possibly the worst slum in the world. Everyone just craps on the beach and walks and plays amont human shit.

But, anyway, the guy in Canada didn't have Ebola.

He may not have it, but Ebola is still deadly.

Which also isn't very transmissable. Did you hear about this idiot woman who got exposed from a deer? The deer attacked her, then for some stupid reason she gives the deer a bucket of water, and then puts her cut hands in deer spittle water which then put rabies in her body. Maybe she thought it was thirsty.

They said it was lying under a Toyota Corolla, I don't see how the deer could have gotten its head into a bucket of water under a Corolla unless she put the head in there herself, hence the rabies transfer. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...by-rabid-deer/2012/07/17/gJQAJY16qW_blog.html

It says she got kicked in the face, but i'm pretty sure she put her hands up defensively and got kicked there too. I can't see her washing her face with deer spittle water.

Although, if you go into a cave with millions and millions of bats, you can get rabies just by breathing the air. That's pretty much the only way you can get it without direct contact. http://www.batmanagement.com/Batcentral/eviction/health.html
 
I have never heard the phrase "attacked by a rabid deer" before.

It's a small cluster of cats in the UK that got bovine tuberculosis. In the US, you're far more likely to get that from drinking milk, primarily unpasteurized (raw) milk. The cats probably got it from rats or mice hanging around cows, or for getting in tussles with badgers which also carry it.

It's really not a big concern at all. Bovine tuberculosis is much more prevalent in the UK than it is in the US.

If you have indoor cats you have no way of getting it, and if you have outdoor cats you don't have to worry about it either in the US. You only have to worry if you come in contact with another human who has active TB.
 
bovine tuberculosis big thing in uk...I member of organization fighting mass slaughter of badger,it can be cured overnight if vaccinated
 
Ebola is too deadly to really catch on like wild fire, it has to high a kill ratio in a short period of time. It would burn itself out before a mass contamination.
As for rabies
From a deer
Damn
Harsh luck.
