I don't think Ebola is airborne, and yea it originated an animal, like HIV. It's called Zoonosis.
Anybody know what the protocol is for this once the pharmacies are closed.
The same one that a person should use when forced to take a mandatory flu vaccination. By taking 'the cure' for some 'ailments' when you don't have the ailment should allow you body to be at full strength to fight anything negative that could have made it into the flu shot. Lots of O2, a ph level above 7.8 and some fine grained colloidal silver and one more that is effective against malaria type of things.
If Ebola like diseases are bacteria caused then the solution is finding the right virus that is the enemy of that specific bacteria.

The top doctor treating patients infected with the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone has died from the disease, officials have confirmed.
Dr Khan's death on Tuesday afternoon was confirmed by chief medical officer Dr Brima Kargbo, who had previously hailed him as a "national hero" when she announced he had contracted the the disease.
Efforts are further hindered by the fact the disease has no vaccine and no specific treatment. The current outbreak has a fatality rate of at least 60 percent, but it can reach as high as 90 percent.

Nigeria death shows Ebola can spread by air travel
Nigerian health authorities raced to stop the spread of Ebola on Saturday after a man sick with one of the world's deadliest diseases brought it by plane to Lagos, Africa's largest city with 21 million people.
The fact that the traveler from Liberia could board an international flight also raised new fears that other passengers could take the disease beyond Africa due to weak inspection of passengers and the fact Ebola's symptoms are similar to other diseases.
Officials in the country of Togo, where the sick man's flight had a stopover, also went on high alert after learning that Ebola could possibly have spread to a fifth country.
Screening people as they enter the country may help slow the spread of the disease, but it is no guarantee Ebola won't travel by airplane, according to Dr. Lance Plyler, who heads Ebola medical efforts in Liberia for aid organization Samaritan's Purse.
"Unfortunately the initial signs of Ebola imitate other diseases, like malaria or typhoid," he said.

My un scientific take on it is ; If all other viruses can be transmitted by sneezing/coughing etc., why not this one.........?
W.H.O. contradicts CDC, admits Ebola can spread via coughing, sneezing and by touching contaminated surfaces
The World Health Organization has issued a bulletin which confirms what Natural News has been asserting for weeks: that Ebola can spread via indirect contact with contaminated surfaces and aerosolized droplets produced from coughing or sneezing.
"...wet and bigger droplets from a heavily infected individual, who has respiratory symptoms caused by other conditions or who vomits violently, could transmit the virus -- over a short distance -- to another nearby person," says a W.H.O. bulletin released this week. [1] "This could happen when virus-laden heavy droplets are directly propelled, by coughing or sneezing..."
That same bulletin also says, "The Ebola virus can also be transmitted indirectly, by contact with previously contaminated surfaces and objects."
In other words, the WHO just confirmed what the CDC says is impossible -- that Ebola can be acquired by touching a contaminated surface.

Because not all viruses are the same, and most definitely not all viruses can be transmitted by aerosols. Imagine if you could transmit herpes by coughing...doesn't happen. Some viruses are enveloped, meaning they have a protective glycoprotein layer. Some aren't. Some are larger than others. Lots of different factors which affect whether or not a virus can survive and infect outside of the host. Ebola does not survive long on surfaces, especially porous surfaces.
Ebola doesn't get transmitted by air...coughing large droplets of vomit or blood that land on a surface is not the same as producing an aerosol that you breathe in, and the CDC has never said that you cannot be infected by touching contaminated surfaces or objects. It's on their page under transmission...WHO hasn't contradicted the CDC.
Get Out Of Dodge
I agree with you but the fact enough virologists are concerned this particular virus has the potential to mutate into an airborne one and the likelihood of that occurring grows the more the virus jumps from host to host is frightening.
Oh, there's lots to be frightful of, for sure. If you had a conversation with a virologist you might think twice about how you handle yourself around livestock too.
For context, we're not even at a quarter of the deaths yet that the 2009 influenza pandemic caused.
The other day at work, we got results back from a lab that we are contracting to do some work. We sent away some negative tissue for an assay they are developing for us, it came back positive...so we thought we might have had some DNA contamination in our lab. It's problematic because the tests that amplify DNA are so sensitive, and standard cleaners like ethanol won't degrade the DNA. After something like that, everything you look at and touch is a possible contaminated surface. I decontaminated my work area like mad thinking someone may have spilled something or touched it with contaminated hands. Turns out the contamination came from the lab we're contracting. Not a big deal, but when you start to consider how many times you touch things, and how many possibilities to contaminate surfaces, you get an idea for how bad things could be. Aerosols...and I'm only dealing with aquatic pathogens. 8O
Ebola 'Totally Out of Control... Good, can we send a few sick victims to the middle east.
...and don't tell me YOU haven't thought with would be a great idea.. you can be sure ISIS is thinking it would be great for the USA, UK and Canada.
...and don't tell me YOU haven't thought with would be a great idea.. you can be sure ISIS is thinking it would be great for the USA, UK and Canada.
My understanding is there is a test vaccine developed in Canada they are starting to send out.
Every hundred years its something just like the Spanish flu of 1918 we are always behind the
curve because no one take it seriously until its too late then it gets out of control
Good God is this part of the end time story? What if Jesus came back and he got Ebola?
