Can I catch Ebola from a computer virus or from my computer?

Only if you have a "Touchy, Feely" Computer!
Keep away from those bad sites!
Ebola can be venereal for months after you're cured!
:shock::oops:

I do try and stay away from pet birds.
I would seriously not want to catch that Canariel Disease Chirpies even though it's tweetable.

I don't know, but I can assure you anything the CDC tells you will probably be wrong, given it's recent track record. Even ultra liberal Bill de Blaso says he doesn't trust the CDC.

Be careful if it is a scratch and sniff computer. Your screen name is familiar, you been on Husker sports boards?

[Blacksmith]

Only if you exchange bodily fluids with the computer. There will probably be emails going around warning people to be careful of Ebola computer virus.

Great! Now I have to wear a mask and bio-suit just to check my email.:veryconfu

I heard last night that the Ebola virus can live for fifty days on glass and what is on your screen made of? It is well known that a virus can mutate so I am sure it can shape-shift into an Ohm bug, in which case it would be free to roam the internet looking for guest hosts. Beware, guest host roam among us at will.

I heard last night that the Ebola virus can live for fifty days on glass ...
That was the headline.
But, if you read the article you learn:
Ebola virus taken from a culture dish can remain viable for at least 47 days on a glass slide if kept in a very humid environment at 4 degrees Centigrad.

You can only get it from tour puter when it takes a dump on you.

[Garyshome]

obama says you can't which means you can!

[Multigunner]

Of course you can and I can send you a software anti Ebola disc to cure both you and your PC for a mere 500 USD. Send only cash in a plain envelope and the disc will be on its way shortly.

While trying to look up information on the Vin Deisel movie "XXX" I clicked before I looked and ended up on a site that gave my PC a bad case of VD. "PCillin" cured that quickly enough.
Shortly afterwards I was looking for information on the film "the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and found dozens for sites of a nationwide Gay Escort service. I nearly tossed the PC through the window after that.

It is far more dangerous on your computer and in fact has already mutated. Never mind E-bola, you need to protect your hard drive and your loved ones from F-,G-, and H-bola!

[BrassMagnet]

That H-bola. It's Bad!

That was the headline.
That was the old headline.
The new one says ...
Document Shows Feds Fear Airborne Ebola

"In a lengthy document that received nearly no media attention, a U.S. government agency has warned preliminary data shows Ebola is aerostable, meaning it can survive in the air and potentially be transmitted via airborne means."
