very possible they will be the only two with this outbreak.

You act like posting a timeline will cause the virus to get angry and spread faster.

A post on the DU will not cause more or less Ebola.

Calm the fuck down.

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

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
