Ebola is not an airborne disease. It is spread only through body fluids. So that makes Ebola less contagious than the other airborne diseases such as Tuberculosis and Influenza. Therefore, I don't think sufficient justification exists for declaring the martial law.

Look.. the average person believes what ever the fancy colour TV tells them.. I believe right now if Obama went on TV and said Martial Law was needed to stop the bees from dying over 50% of people would be for it.

It would be at least a full 7 days before an appreciable voice of discontent was heard...

This bodily fluids stuff is an interesting one. I think if on the tube someone sneezing at me I can get some bodily fluids... Or saliva doesn't count ?

Asymptomatic carriers and people within incubation period are able to infect other people through blood transfusion or sexual intercourse, because their blood and seminal fluid have high concentration of virus particles. Saliva or perspiration doesn't contain enough concentration of virus particles... Unless it's contaminated with blood, it will contain something closer to 1 virus per 2 litres of saliva. And don't forget that saliva and perspiration contain antibodies which are able to neutralize virus particles. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) That's the reason why asymptomatic carriers and other infected people without symptoms are relatively safe. But if they develop the symptoms then saliva and perspiration will always have at least some traces of blood due to hemorregic nature of the desease.

Saliva appears to inactivate the virus, it's PCR positive but culture negative, possibly due to enzymes. Breast milk is the most dangerous, also semen and tears. Perspiration itself is negative, but it could be contaminated with blood.

If an infected person sneezes close to you, then there is a good chance that you will get infected. That is because as the disease progresses to the advanced stages, blood gets mixed with mucus, which makes even sneezing highly contagious. During the Ebola outbreak of 2001 in Uganda, the most senior doctor there, Dr. Matthew Lukwiya got infected an later died of the disease after a patient named Simon Ajok sneezed close to him.

Maybe if we see a lab made natural modification of the Ebola that spreads by the air. I remember in the X-files an airbone disease would be used to justify martial law before the alien invasion

I don't think Ebola can be mutated enough to make it spread through the air. You can't just mutate viruses like that. Can the HIV virus can be modified to make it spread through air? No. Same with the Ebola virus.

No. Same with the Ebola virus. You could hypothetically use genetic engineering to make a hybrid clone between two different viruses which would have similar traits to both parent viruses... But why would anyone want to do that?

http://healthmap.org/en/ is predicting an ebola outbreak in the USA within 10 days. It predicted the outbreak in Africa 9 days prior so it works. Confirmed cases in NYC. It is loose and it is aerosol.

A hybrid between two viruses? That is not possible, IMO. Or our science is not that advanced. Can you give me any example of an incident in which two different viruses were hybridized?

But keep in mind that the areas where it's preading right now are very hot and very humid, hence a lot of body liquid being produced by the people there and can be easily transfered and you have to add to this the customs and believes in some areas and the lack of education makes things worse. (example, people freeing quaranted member of familly and takinbg I believe that if the rate on which this disease is spreading in a certain area exceeds a certain rate and not declining, I believe it is necessary to trigger martial law, Ebola right now is no joke

You can't mass produce an experimental cure, and even after years and once it is confirmed not to be working properly with no side effect or least without any dangerous ones, it will take time, to put in place the industrial process to mass produce it especially if it's a complex medicine which is likely the case due to the fact that to this day and age we don't have any real medicine to counter it Obviously they are other factors I didn't mentions, such Patents, Pharmaceutical income, international medical laws, ect ect

I don't know... the epidemic shows no sign of slowing down... and the affected countries have declared cordon sanitaire in many of the affected villages. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/13/science/using-a-tactic-unseen-in-a-century-countries-cordon-off-ebola-racked-areas.html?_r=0It send chills up my spine, just when I think what would have happened if I had been a resident in any of those villages. If the infection spreads to the US, will they declare cordon sanitaire? Reminds me of a Hollywood movie, which I saw recently (The Crazies?).
