You guys and your conspiracy theories - honestly! There is no way that the global medical community would participate in a deliberate deception about what they understand re the transmission mechanism of the ebola virus. The lie about it and induce false complacency would increase massively the risk of an epidemic breaking out - that's last thing that *anyone* would want.

And I note that we know now the Aussie nurse hasn't got it after all.
That would be in the best interests of pharma companies, plus our govts wouldn't want us to panic. Wouldn't be the first time we have been lied to. Check bse.
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'

Well they would have to go against the media who are big on government contributions.

The media is big into spreading fear using ebola. Some of the headlines just leave me shaking my head...

Not out of the woods yet.

I heard the doctors talking about this, she has to wait 21 days before she can be given the all clear.

It sells papers for a week or so.

I never said it is airborne. It is aerosolized. It is in bodily fluids including saliva. It is highly contagious. All of this is true.
Then it isn't highly contagious because you can only catch a virus via aerosolized droplets with close contact.

Something highly contagious like the flu would have infected 10's of millions by now, you just have no clue.

our health officials know very little about how its spread. I am shocked at the absolutely hopeless response to containing it. The Nigerian governments response makes our government look like a bunch of monkeys. They are doing next to nothing to stop it entering and spreading in Australia. Either
(A) they are total morons, or
(B) they want it to enter Australia.
If it's B, maybe they already have the vaccine/cure handy, and are waiting for the most profitable/opportune time to release it. A few people will need to die first. Then everyone will want to buy the new vaccine/drug.
They know exactly how it spreads

Perhaps you would care to explain how the Spanish nurse caught ebola after attending to the infected priest only twice whilst wearing full protective gear? I don't know how you define highly contaguous, but if health care workers taking all precautions can catch it, that's highly contagious as far as I'm concerned.

It's very simple, people make mistakes even highly trained people. Protective equipment or not if you lapse in protocol it won't help. You are over looking the very obvious fact she was in close contact with a sick person to catch it. so it's not highly contagious. it is however highly dangerous, that is the point of all the protective gear, nothing to do with how contagious it is.

but by all means go stock up on cans of beans like a crazy nutter.

If Ebola was highly contagious and easily spread, many many more people would have got it.

And if the nurse in Cairns had actually had Ebola, then her documented treatment in the Cairns hospital *emergency ward* would have been woefully inadequate in stopping the disease's potential spread.

Per Sunday news reporting, their actions were simply disastrously inadequate to contain any actual potential contagion.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
