Ebola verses Corona

Lots of democrats banging the drum on how well Obama handled Ebola compared to Trumps handling of Corona. Really though it's apples to oranges to even attempt to compare these two viruses so spare me the praise of Obama and criticism of Trump in number of cases of each virus spreading to America.
One is extremely contagious the other not so much.

"Infectious disease experts say the risk of that is low for several reasons. Ebola is hard to contract, they say, and good infection-control practices can stop its spread.





"What's more, Ebola is much less contagious than many other more common diseases. The virus, much like HIV or hepatitis, is spread through blood or bodily fluids and is not airborne."

Coronavirus
Person-to-person spread
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. "

Also relevant is the geographical location of the initial outbreak. One virus largely confined to a somewhat isolated desperately poor part of the world while the other started in the arguable hub of world commerce.

"Ebola was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since then, the virus has emerged periodically from its natural reservoir (which remains unknown) and infected people in several African countries. This map shows the distribution of the Ebola virus in Africa since its discovery in 1976."

"Basically, the more we interact, the greater the probability of a spillover of a pathogen.

The more often that happens, the greater the chance of us receiving one that is perfectly suited to human-human transmission."

Moreover Obama completely blew the Ebola outbreak....it lasted three years! He had some Dem political operative with no management experience, or medical background as czar...frankly if it wasn’t for the smart thinking of Gov Christie it might have been worse

 

OhYes, Chris Christie another stable genius...…….aka, a horses ass.....remember the GW Bridge scandal,talk about throwing your allies under the bus??

 

Ebola is worse.

 

If you get it but it's much harder to get.

 

Yeah the Obama DOJ attempted to harm Christie there. But he came though it and was exonerated of any wrong doing
