Jesse Jackson to meet family of Ebola patient in Dallas

I read that the CDC recommends immediate bagging and sealing of the body.  No embalming, no pulling IVs or anything, and especially no viewing of the body.  Odds that Jackson makes a stink about the family not getting to see the body/say goodbye and threatening a lawsuit?

People need to relax.

 

Q: How is Ebola spread?

 

A: The disease is spread person-to-person through direct contact with body fluids like blood, urine, sweat, semen, breast milk and feces. Ebola usually incubates for about 10 days before showing symptoms. However, people who have been exposed to the disease may show symptoms in as little as two days, or up to 21 days after exposure.

Humans were first introduced to Ebola through contact with infected animals like primates, fruit bats and forest antelope, according to the CDC.

 

Q: Since Ebola can be transmitted via blood, can mosquitos or fleas spread the viral infection?

 

A: No. Ebola is only spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids. There is no evidence supporting mosquito-borne Ebola, Rattay said.

"Certainly in Africa there are mosquito-borne diseases and they have not seen Ebola transmitted," Rattay said.

 

Q: What are the chances of a widespread outbreak in the United States?

 

A: Extremely low.

"The reason that it is transmitted so rapidly and easily in West Africa is because [there isn't] adequate personal protective equipment," Fishman said. "The disease itself the transmission's fairly easy to prevent if you use personal protective equipment."

I agree but..

If patient #2 in Dallas was just in patient #1 apt. They say the virus isn't airborne. So how would the cop contract the disease? Shaking hands?

Update 3:53 p.m.

Frisco mayor Maher Maso says that city officials have been told the risk is minimal, and the sheriff, Michael Monning, was only transported to Presbyterian out of an "abundance of caution." Patients at the Care Now have been released. According to Frisco officials, Monning was not one of the 48 people being closely monitored by the CDC after contact with Duncan. Frisco's fire chief says Monning had contact with Duncan's family members, not Duncan himself.

Didn't Jesse Jackson have contact with Duncan's family members?
