Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days.http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/symptoms/index.html?s_cid=cs_4318

It has been three weeks since Thomas Eric Duncan was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas hospital and tested positive for the deadly virus. The 48 people who interacted with him before he was hospitalized and who have been monitored are coming off a watch list this week, meaning they are no longer at risk of contracting the virus.

“It’s a critical weekend because when we look at this disease, 8 to 10 days after the exposure is the most likely time and it tapers off dramatically after 12 to 13 days,” said Judge Clay Jenkins, Dallas County’s top elected official, speaking Saturday outside the hospital where Mr. Duncan died Oct. 8. “We feel that if we get to Monday, we are in a much better probability place.”

It's one of those important facts that are ignored by the media frenzy.

Dallas Ebola infection/incubation timeline 10.21.14 [View all] morningfog Oct 2014 OP

Interesting. Did you do all that research yourself? ffr Oct 2014 #1

Yes. I've been following it and posting these timelines every couple days. morningfog Oct 2014 #2

we don't know when any of the hospital workers could have gotten infected TorchTheWitch Oct 2014 #3

For the workers, the timeline uses the last morningfog Oct 2014 #7

We do know the last possible exposure date to MrDuncan. uppityperson Oct 2014 #19

Pham and Vinson both became sick after the 7-10 day period. pnwmom Oct 2014 #4

First of all, we don't know when they were infected. morningfog Oct 2014 #6

The CDC, if you believe them, thinks the infections occurred between Sept. 28 and 30. pnwmom Oct 2014 #8

They still had skin showing during DUncan's last days. morningfog Oct 2014 #10

So in this case you've decided not to believe the CDC. pnwmom Oct 2014 #16

Why does logic and facts seem to bother you? nt Logical Oct 2014 #21

I like logic and facts. I just haven't seen any in this thread from you. pnwmom Oct 2014 #25

Which post did I say something you disagree with? Link please. nt Logical Oct 2014 #26

Post 26. n/t pnwmom Oct 2014 #28

I get it, nothing I said was wrong. You just like to whine. nt Logical Oct 2014 #30

What the hell are you talking about? morningfog Oct 2014 #23

No,they believe the nurses got exposed in the EARLIEST days of hospitalization, not the last. pnwmom Oct 2014 #24

LOL, "It is still unclear how, exactly, Pham and Vinson were infected with Ebola" means..... Logical Oct 2014 #29

And yet the head of the CDC thinks it happened then -- and it makes the most sense pnwmom Oct 2014 #32

FWIW, The nurses never wore full protective gear. uppityperson Oct 2014 #35

The CDC also says the mean time is 9-11 days but you don't believe that either apparently. nt Logical Oct 2014 #36

And Pham and Vinson also had contact in the last morningfog Oct 2014 #34

LOL, the word "MOST" must be confusing you. nt Logical Oct 2014 #33

Thank you for the thread. The people who thrive on fear will find reasons to panic anyhow. LeftyMom Oct 2014 #5

"The incubation period of this strain is 7-10 days in most people who become infected." Avalux Oct 2014 #11

There are more source, but I found these quickly: morningfog Oct 2014 #12

And here: morningfog Oct 2014 #13

Thank you. I would like you to revise your statement for accuracy. Avalux Oct 2014 #14

It is specific for this strain as well. morningfog Oct 2014 #15

Ok, but that's now what you said. Read your statement, it doesn't match. Avalux Oct 2014 #17

It is what I said. In most infections is it 7-10 days. I go on to discuss the 21 day window. morningfog Oct 2014 #22

Thanks again morningfog uppityperson Oct 2014 #18

Love these posts. Logic!! nt Logical Oct 2014 #20

Not particularly relevant. The ONLY number you can take to the bank is 21 days. kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #27

No celebration here. Acknowledging the worst morningfog Oct 2014 #31

No more new cases is a BIG DEAL! How can you not understand that? nt Logical Oct 2014 #37

I totally understand that and am greatly relieved. That said, NO WAY kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #38

LOL, the virus does not know we are "crowing". And only TWO people have had it so far. And it is.... Logical Oct 2014 #39

This was great news. =) AverageJoe90 Nov 2014 #40
