Rand Paul of Kentucky told a group of college students Wednesday the deadly virus Ebola can spread from a person who has the disease to someone standing three feet away and said the White House should be honest about that. From the CDCs own website: A low risk exposure includes any of the following: Household contact with an EVD [Ebola Virus Disease] patient Other close contact with EVD patients in health care facilities or community settings. Close contact is defined as: a. being within approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of an EVD patient or within the patient’s room or care area for a prolonged period of time (e.g., health care personnel, household members) while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment (i.e., standard, droplet, and contact precautions; see Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations) b. having direct brief contact (e.g., shaking hands) with an EVD patient while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment. Brief interactions, such as walking by a person or moving through a hospital, do not constitute close contact patterico/2014/10/16/rand-paul-engages-in-blatant-fearmongering-by-accurately-citing-cdc-advice-on-ebola-exposure/
