VANISHED>>> CDC Deletes Ebola Page On How You Can Catch Disease from Coughing, Sneezing
Posted by Kristinn Taylor on Friday, October 31, 2014, 9:30 AM The Science Is Settled Except When It Isnt CDC Deletes page on how you can catch Ebola <http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ebola-cdc-cough. jpg> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took down a page this week explaining how Ebola can be spread though coughing, sneezing and sex. The Gateway Pundit reported last Friday on the CDC information page about ninety minutes after it was promoted by the CDC on Twitter. The image and text of the page were saved and are posted in their entirety at The Gateway Pundit report entitled, <http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/10/cdc-yes-you-can-catch-ebola-from-be ing-sneezed-coughed-on-or-by-having-sex/> CDC: Yes, You Can Catch Ebola from Being Sneezed, Coughed onor by Having Sex The <http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/pdf/infections-spread-by-air-or-droplets.pdf> CDC page now bears this message: The Whats the difference between infections spread through air or by droplets? Fact sheet is being updated and is currently unavailable. Please visit cdc.gov/Ebola for up-to-date information on Ebola. The Huffington Post was the <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/30/cdc-ebola_n_6078072.html> first to report Thursday evening about the CDC taking down the Ebola page. The HuffPo report was later updated with a response from the CDC. A CDC official said the agency is continually updating its website. This particular Q&A is being updated to ensure people understand that Ebola is not an airborne virus like the flu and will be reposted soon, the official said in an email. The HuffPo report links to a <http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/10/04/from-the -cdc-on-how-ebola-can-be-transmitted/> Volokh Conspiracy blog report at the Washington Post from October 4th. The blog quotes a <http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/qas.html> CDC Q&A on how Ebola can be transmitted that has since been changed by the CDC. Original: Can Ebola spread by coughing? By sneezing? Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that persons eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease. Current: Can Ebola be spread by coughing or sneezing? There is no evidence indicating that Ebola virus is spread by coughing or sneezing. Ebola virus is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with Ebola; the virus is not transmitted through the air (like measles virus). However, droplets (e.g., splashes or sprays) of respiratory or other secretions from a person who is sick with Ebola could be infectious, and therefore certain precautions (called standard, contact, and droplet precautions) are recommended for use in healthcare settings to prevent the transmission of Ebola virus from patients sick with Ebola to healthcare personnel and other patients or family members. Text from the deleted CDC page as <http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/10/cdc-yes-you-can-catch-ebola-from-be ing-sneezed-coughed-on-or-by-having-sex/> reported by The Gateway Pundit: Airborne spread happens when a germ floats through the air after a person talks, coughs, or sneezes. Germs may land in the eyes, mouth, or nose of another person. If a germ is airborne, direct contact with the infected person is NOT needed for someone else to get sick. Airborne spread diseases include: chickenpox, tuberculosis. 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. Droplets travel short distances, less than 3 feet (1 meter) from one person to another. A person might also get infected by touching a surface or object that has germs on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Droplet spread diseases include: plague, Ebola. The science is settledon whatever day the Obama administration says it is settled. All other versions will be deleted.
