Turns out the 21 day Ebola quarantine (which NBC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman didn’t bother to follow) isn’t long enough. While the Obama CDC and NIH sit on their ass and do nothing about Ebola, others are researching Ebola and finding out things the CDC isn’t telling the people. For instance, the Ebola virus could lay dormant in a person’s body for longer than 21 days. This of course is no only bad news for Western Africa, but for people in this country who came into contact with Thomas Duncan.

The recommended 21-day quarantine period for the Ebola virus is not long enough to contain the spread of the disease, a new study has warned.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) advises the incubation period for the virus is between two and 21 days.
It is thought that if someone who has been in contact with an Ebola victim but does not develop symptoms after that point, has not been infected.
But a study by scientists at Drexel University in Philadelphia has found there is a 12 per cent chance the deadly virus could lay dormant in a person’s body for longer than the three-week period.
