No matter, FJ. I'll just wait for you to reveal your pro-Obama sympathies again, be it from direct proof of a position you hold, or, an indirect proof where you counter someone else's anti-Obama argument, from whatever excuse you can think of to do so.
I suspect I'll not have very long to wait.

It comes from infected bush meat, monkey's and bats, unfortunately it is easily transmitted when let loose in a large city. Which is exactly what has happened in Liberia.
Up until now the outbreaks have happened in small isolated villages and the transfers have been minor. Ebola is spread by body fluids and can live on hard surfaces, in an industrial city this is a major problem

UVC or a 5.25 solution of household bleach

Also, it spreads through direct contact with infected fluids, so basic hygiene and sanitation would go far.

It is to be hoped, for their sake, that Nigeria can continue to be Ebola free.
Come to that, I'd hope for that for our sake, too. One less source of the disease might just improve the chances of its spread being limited (although I expect that's unlikely, considering the current extent of its spread ..).
Nearer to home - for me, anyway - we have, as a main news item, the interview Jose Manuel Barroso gave on yesterday's Andrew Marr Show (BBC-1 political and current affairs interviewing programme). It's significant, because David Cameron has been trying to get the concession from the EU for Britain to gain autonomy over its own borders .. so that we can control immigration from other EU Member States.
But Barroso (outgoing EU President) was adamant that the free movement of people, without ANY border restrictions between member States, was an inviolable core EU principle. Non-negotiable, under any circumstances.
So, here we are, with a looming likelihood of Ebola reaching Europe .. infecting any number of these 'Member States'. And there's Barroso, entrenched in his political correctness, to the point where he can't see beyond it to the REAL world. Obviously, it'd help substantially if countries could close their borders as they needed to. But, NO ... EU Leftieness won't give this consideration the time of day. If Ebola overruns every country, decimating its populations, well, at least it'll do it in a 'politically correct' way !!!
And the rest of the world will have to be on its guard from a couple of DOZEN extra countries ... possibly needlessly.
Leftieism. It'll be, quite literally, the death of us !!

it's transmitted in the same way the flu virus is, infected fluids can live on hard surfaces.
The only reason it's less dangerous/contagious than the flu is because the original source of this virus is from infected bush animals. Add that to the fact that most people who eat those animals live in small villages and you have a virus that is usually easily controlled.
This isn't a little virus that can be cured with "better hygiene", it's cured because the international community comes together and quaranteens everyone who comes in contact with the original person. If this was done with flu victims the infection rate would plummet.
But don't mistake that it isn't every bit as easily spread as the flu.
