CDC admits droplets from a sneeze could spread Ebola

Ebola is a lot easier to catch than health officials have admitted — and can be contracted by contact with a doorknob contaminated by a sneeze from an infected person an hour or more before, experts told The Post Tuesday.
“If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be” infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.
Nass pointed to a poster the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly released on its Web site saying the deadly virus can be spread through “droplets.”
“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,” the poster states.
Nass slammed the contradiction.

A bit late now to admit that.
I’ll take it further since they won’t.
If someone covers their sneeze, then shakes your hands, touches a doorknob, an ATM, a credit card machine… well….you get the picture.
Let’s blame Dom again— it’s an easy out — Living in a bubble —
Perhaps, we are there already.
You can’t get it simply via touch. If someone sneezes and you somehow ingest the sneeze mist/residue. you can get it. If they sneeze/vomit/bleed on something that you touch, and you subsequently put your fingers in your mouth, you can get it.
Time to repeat the 1971 story about a boy with an infectious disease lived in a “bubble” for some time until the disease was overcome.
No his name was not Dom….
Stop feeling sorry for yourself no one is going to blame you but you do live in your own bubble of self importance Dom.
James, PLEASE. Stop accepting posts from this idiot who is obsessed with “Dom”. Much for of this crap and I’m gone.
What the matter you can dish it out but you cant take it. Go Go Go.
Exactly as I posted. If they SNEEZE into their hand and TOUCH something, the party is OVER for the unfortunate next person to touch that door knob, ATM, credit card machine etc etc.
Quarantine them. We do NOT need another ‘Typhoid Mary’
Look up Typhoid Mary on Wikipedia….that’s an amazing story.
I agree with #6.
The Dom obsessed blogger is clearly a moron with nothing more important to do.
This is a great forum for discussion and he is wasting our time.
Poor , Poor Dom.
# 10 This is one of Dom post ” So what ?? Just because they recognize that Brnadette loser from Ridgewood ??” Now does that sound like a man that wants to discuss anything . I could post more of his nasty discussions but I won’t was my time .
