Ebola has not mutated and contrary to what the nut that started this thread says, it is highly unlikely that it will. Health and Science Officials of numerous countries such as America, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, and several others along with Officials from both the UN and EU, have stated that it is highly unlikely Ebola will mutate into an airborne strain as Ebola itself is not in such a classification of virus which could do that. Ebola is transferred via contact with the bodily fluids on an infected person (Meaning Blood, Vomit, Spit, Mucus, Urine, etc.) and the viral bacteria only rises to the surface of the skin of the body after death, so unless you are touching a dead person who was plagued by Ebola, without protective gear, within the first week or so since death, you will not get the virus just by touching the person themselves like via a handshake or pat on the back. Rumors like these are just started by people who are sick in the head enough to like watching panic, fear, and chaos run free. That's all these rumors of mutation are, rumors. Not fact. This kind of thing always happens when you listen to less official media sources like your local news or talk shows, instead of paying attention to what professionals are saying.
There are actually some very simple procedures to prevent the spread of Ebola if you come into contact with the fluids listed above. You can prevent the spread of Ebola same as how you would a Cold or a Flu. Wash your Hands, stay clean, be watchful and if you start to feel sick then waste no time in telling your doctor as a precaution. Again remember that such things are advised in the normal role of preventing the spread of disease but, as I said, be especially careful if you come into contact with the above fluids of a possibly infected person. Even on a regular, every day basis that should be clear.
Do you know what will hurt and kill more than Ebola? Fear and panic caused by these ridiculous mutation rumors that are started by the same people who said the world would end in 2012, and did it, NO! So be smart and don't believe everything your local news or favorite talk show host says. Stay calm and don't descend into hysteria.
The reason Ebola has spread so fast in West Africa is because people living there do not have access to the proper supplies to prevent its spread. People living, (And I am not trying to encourage Illegal Immigration here) in Second and First World Countries like the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Italy, Russia, Japan, Canada, Brazil, and other similar countries, do have access to the proper supplies to prevent the spread of the disease. Just remember that the best things you can do are to:
Stay Calm and Do Not Panic
Be careful of what you touch or step in
Stay Clean and do what you regularly would to prevent yourself getting sick from anything
Be rational and wise in what you do (Don't try and heal yourself, go directly to your Doctor and calmly request the proper tests be done and wait patiently for the results. If you have gotten Ebola, don't panic as Hospitals in dozens of countries have been prepared for such things for months now and will be well equipped to help destroy the virus before it really takes hold in your system)
A thought to remember. Ebola patients will start to see Symptoms appear within 21 days of coming in contact with infected fluids. Be quick and ask, even just as a precaution, your doctor for the proper tests within a week of contact. Kill it before it can really fester.
Stay calm.
1) I never said that it did.
2) I never said that it did.
3) I never said that it did.
So... You're the nut.
Really I'm the nut for advising against mass panic and hysteria? Whereas your one of the nuts starting it up.
