Hi Terry!

I was being sarcastic...

I have a colleague who earned his PhD at UCLA in Biology back in the 80s... he 
used to have lunch with some of the virologists, at the time when HIV was in 
the news a lot... viruses are good at mutating, but the virologists said that 
what made HIV difficult to combat/treat is that it is *exceptionally* good at 
mutating... I hope ebola isn't.

Why they don't just send CDC doctors and scientists over to Africa, with all 
the equipment they need, to keep the virus isolated, is a mystery...

Does it matter?  It takes only one.

WHO contradicted CDCP by saying that you can get ebola from a sneeze:

Regarding immunity, 15.3% of people in Gabone villages where there has been no 
ebola show antibodies.  Ebola survivors are generally assumed to be immune to 
re-infection.
