Well, that was an unexpected rebuttal.

I'm still blinking.

Suspense can kill you.

So, food containers…let’s see, we’ve covered ceramics, plastic, ooh, I know – stainless steel is (or can be) a Deadly Killer. Clearly eating out of one's hands (and cooking on...a wooden stick, I guess??) is the only option.

Stainless steel cookware is made from a metal alloy consisting of mostly iron and chromium along with differing percentages of molybdenum, nickel, titanium, copper and vanadium. But even stainless steel allows other metals to leach into the foods. The principal elements in stainless that have negative effects on our health are iron, chromium and nickel….There are many grades of stainless steel. Regular stainless steel cookware is made from different alloys including scrap metal. “Green” products made from “recycled” stainless steels can be radio-active and go into common household products undetected. http://conscious-cook.com/hidden-dangers/

Ebola is going to kill us all...but eSign will take out all Compliance Officers first.

I thought it was green apple suckers from Dollar General....

Stainless Steel pans can kill people too when used to bop a poster over the head with it....just saying.

Thanks, DD...

Sorry, Freak...Not really,not really.

Ugh. "Five students at four different schools have come into contact with the Ebola patient, Dallas Superintendent Mike Miles added, but none has exhibited symptoms. The children are being monitored at home, and the schools remain open, Miles said..." http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/01/health/ebola-us/

yes but as of last night there was no chance of the spread from the subject patient.

Man, how many times have we heard you had to trade bodily fluids to have any chance of getting the Ebola?

Z Nation, here we come.........

this thread is certainly a good start down that path

not sure why you're saying that like it's been disproven...

the news report last night said the guy in Dallas is not a medical professional and did not have any physical contact with anyone known to have ebola...

Has anyone added Ebola to the pandemic part of BCP?

He's from Monrovia Liberia, a poor city at the epicenter of the outbreak. Seems more likely he unknowingly came into contact with bodily fluids than the disease has found a new way to spread.

good news about Ebola

http://www.newsweek.com/afraid-ebola-here-are-10-things-more-likely-kill-you-263093

Monrovia is the Capital City of Liberia I would not say that that makes it a poor city (although the country is one of the poorest)

Although

http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/poorest-list/the-10-poorest-cities-in-the-world/10/

Listed it as the poorest (one would think that some other town in Liberia would beat it.

So the guy from Monrovia did help a young lady dying from Ebola. But how did his family member back here possibly get it?

i'm not sure how coming from a poor country makes one more susceptible to unknowingly coming in contact with anothers bodily fluid...

i'm pretty sure any time i've exchanged bodily fluids, it was done with my knowledge...

He sneezed without covering his mouth? I wonder if he sneezed on the back of the head of the person sitting in front of him on the plane. Or handed the flight attendant a coffee cup with saliva on it?

??? it's the same guy. He got on a plane and flew here to visit family.

Unless it came out that another member of his family got it (which i wouldn't be surprised if it happens). In that case, they probably got it from the original dude who was visiting them.



Ebola's only contagious once symptoms present. He (and everyone else) was checked before boarding the plane. no fever or anything. So, the other flight passengers should be safe.

and now Dallas County medical officials have said a second man, a family member, is showing signs of the virus...but no need to fear, they say, they have everything under control...

hmmm, if you had everything under control, how did the 2nd family member get it?

because he was in close contact with the first patient? having a situation under control doens't necessarily mean no one else will get the virus. Because some have already been exposed. But the fact that this 2nd guy was being observed/isolated when the symptoms started is a good sign for having it under control. or at least much better than if it had developed unsupervised.

But tell you what, if any of you guys contract ebola, I owe you a coke.
