YOU CAN GET EBOLA FROM A TOILET SEAT

Modern toilets are especially dangerous

The New York Times admits it.

You can end up infected with the Ebola virus if you use a bathroom used by an Ebola patient.

In general, the disease risk of toilet seats is overrated, but you probably can get Ebola from a toilet seat.
The risk is not so much the seat itself as the whole bathroom. But not just any bathroom. The risk would come from a bathroom that an Ebola victim in an infectious phase has recently used.
The field hospitals run by Doctors Without Borders in Africa are laid out so that patients who definitely have Ebola never share toilet facilities with staff members or with patients who are only “possible” cases.

Dr. Donald McNeil Jr., writing for the newspaper, says modern toilets are especially dangerous.

In modern buildings, toilets that flush loudly and powerfully are a risk in themselves. The flushing create a mist of droplets that splash onto the face and hands or may contaminate stall surfaces.

Should we expect a CDC bulletin on this?

Humorous intellectual word-trickery.. I think it was rather funny. They may have crossed the line of "stand up comedy" since it must pass 22,3 years before something that is not funny now, can be joked about freely. :)

Malcolm, don't take this clip so seriously. I'm quite sure noone else does. :)

If a lice, mosquito or (bedbug?) were to assimilate ebola it'd probably die within minutes.

What a wonderful opportunity for a smart businessman to get to sell an automatic chlorine-spraying toilet-gizmo to each and every airline company in the world.

Would make for some cool millions. :)

FEATHER WINGER: this same irresponsible dialogue was joked about in the 1980's with AIDS:

- "if you're not gay you can't gets AIDS, so don't be happy because then you're not gay and you won't get AIDS."

Now I see why Saturday Night Live has been losing ratings. The show isn't as funny as it use to be. The mild laughter in the audience with this video is evident of this.
