Thought I would start a thread to keep tract of the lies.
For instance, right now I am watching CNN and they have an "expert" answering questions about Ebola. I am pretty sure he just lied twice.
1. When asked how long can ebola live on surfaces/outside the body? The expert
responded "not long, it is a really wimpy virus, it does not last very long at all on environmental surfaces, at most 30-60 minutes and its dead."
I am pretty sure I have read medical journal articles saying its a strong/hardy virus that can live about 6 DAYS on fomites.
See http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2014/10/cdc_dallas_ebola.php
2. When asked what kills the virus, he responded "alcohol, soap and water, purell (hand sanitizers), in fact, its pretty easy to kill." He went on to say "part of the reason its spreading in Africa is they don't have access to running water."
I'm pretty sure I have read differently.
Lets discuss!
