, like blood, sweat, and urine, rather than through the kind of particles produced when someone sneezes or speaks. Unless you’re nursing patients or tending to their body after they’ve died, it’s unlikely you’d acquire the infection.
Ebola also tends to cause pretty severe and identifiable symptoms, such as fever and fatigue followed by vomiting and diarrhea. Not only can infected people not spread the virus until they’re sick, but once they become sick, they’ll know it. “If you want to see illnesses which are controllable, they all have transmission very much tied to symptoms, and this includes SARS and Ebola,” said William Hanage, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “If you’re in an Ebola zone, you can be pretty sure whether or not the person you’re talking to is a potentially risky contact.”
This makes it easier to isolate infected individuals and protect health care workers to limit the spread, which is what occurred in the 2014-2016 outbreak. It’s a striking difference from COVID-19, which, and even when people get sick, some people might have symptoms so mild that they’re not sure they have COVID-19 in the first place.
In each of these cases, the viral outbreak lacked one of the key components that COVID-19 has that allowed it to tip over into a global pandemic. “SARS-CoV-2 is kind of a perfect storm,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University who specializes in infectious diseases.COVID-19 can be mild enough that some people who have it don’t know they have it.
thauserkstp FiveThirtyEight For gosh sakes. “Swine flu?!” The 2009 influenza pandemic was caused by a triple reassortment of bird, human and pig. Call it what it was: H1N1, or just 2009 pandemic influenza.
FiveThirtyEight Because realDonaldTrump is President WorstPresidentInHistory
FiveThirtyEight Because we had a REAL PRESIDENT at the time!! coronavirus VoteBlue2020
FiveThirtyEight Read the article; it talks about how the earlier viruses had different transmission styles, but only when the person who was infected started showing symptoms. It doesn't state it, but another reason would be that when the viruses hit the leaders at the time didn't downplay them.
FiveThirtyEight Uh, because we are still dropping like flies.
FiveThirtyEight There was no social media at the time of Ebola, SARS or Swine Flu. Fear spread faster than flu covid19 CoronaLockdown
FiveThirtyEight Ebola is pretty localized in areas of Africa and is spread by direct contact w/ body fluids.SARS disappeared before vaccine went into production.Swine flu infects fewer than 20,000 a year in US and not as infectious. Covid 19 possibly most infectious of all known viruses ever.
FiveThirtyEight Because it's a different type of virus in how it spreads. Don't you listen to real news? Wake up ABC!!! The answers are out there for you to see and hear. LOL Dumbasses.
FiveThirtyEight We didn't have trump in office then to know better enough to do something ASAP.. who have decided to wait till so many people have lost their lives and finally listened to expert telling him hey, we need to do something now,.so many lives could've been saved

FiveThirtyEight Bias in the media
FiveThirtyEight I think it’s a man made virus 🦠 (chemical weapon) why don’t they do an autopsy on the dead bodies and find out what really killed them? Yet people are recovering and there’s no cure. Hmmm 🤔
FiveThirtyEight Because its time to implement OWO. They've fluorinated, bromated, and pretty much-poisoned everyone till they can't think for themselves, control the money and the food and it's a done deal. Pretty slick.

FiveThirtyEight Because the media would never sensationalize a virus to make obama look bad? because the media was too google eyed for obama to realize we even had H1N1 ? The answer is in there somewhere between lovefest and Democrats
FiveThirtyEight Because it's an election year the Democrats know they can't win
FiveThirtyEight Because this virus is not from nature!
