Reports from residents, apparently. They certainly have good motives to avoid confirming infections at this point in a vain attempt to keep people in town and track them down. It might not be too late yet...

I mean if that was the case it does make sense to keep things quiet as long as possible to try and contain and track down contacts but if that is true it also means the chances of tracking everyone down at this point is nearly impossible. 10/15/2014 1:47:16 PM |

This is just one of those things you want to think they will get their shit together and stop the spreading and what not and everything will be fine.

Some of the apartment cleanup guys were hired from craigslist, had no idea they were dealing with ebola until informed by reporters, and wore no protective gear.

^ from what's currently known, they don't really need protective gear for that.
The cleaning crew stuff is likely mostly to ease the mind of the public.

Everybody is saying the mortality rate is 70%
But is it REALLY 70%? Or is it 70% because of poor sanitation conditions in Africa?
Right now in America, of the known cases, the death rate is only 33.33333333 % 10/15/2014 3:42:26 PM |

So a fellow volunteer is going home next week, a vacation she scheduled a while back so that she could attend her cousin's wedding. But the cousin just called her and asked her not to attend. Apparently the bride's family and half the wedding party refused to attend the wedding if the volunteer was present, because they're afraid of Ebola.

Quote : | "Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during a telephone press briefing Wednesday that you cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but that infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else." |

Technically accurate, though not well worded. Just sitting in the same space as somebody will not give you ebola. But if you have ebola you shouldn't get on a bus because you don't know when you might start vomiting or otherwise expelling fluids. If you fall and get cut, you're suddenly contagious as shit. Sharing the air doesn't spread the disease, but proximity does increase the likelihood of some other means of transmission. 10/16/2014 7:41:05 AM |

If they vomit or bleed on you, sure. I think the CDC guy assumed most Americans avoided bleeding, vomiting people regardless of whether they were on public transportation.
