It depends. Ebola virus Is a highly infectious disease. It is spread not only by the living, but also by the dead. Funeral ceremonies can be a source of exposure of the virus to a large gathering of people. In countries where cadavers of people who died of Ebola are not handled aseptically, the disease can spread very quickly. One method of limiting the spread of the disease is to cremate those who died of the disease. Ebola virus can wipe out a city of 200,000 in two months.

How the disease was spread through the yambuku hospital?
If you mean Ebola/ Marburg, the nuns on the hospital reused 5 or so syringes for hundreds of patients. So if one person was infected, then the needle would infect hundreds of people a day.
Can Ebola contaminate water if infected person's bodily fluids come in contact with it?
Ebola can contaminate basic water, but only for a couple of minutes at most. The water would need to have the same saline levels as the human body, or the host cell would build pressure until it ruptured. When the cell ruptures, the virus would die. If a person were handling bloody water in an environment ebola was present, it would still be prudent to take precautions.
What is 200000 in miles?
You do not say what you have 200000 of but I am going to assume you mean kilometres. In which case that would be approx.125000 miles=200000 km
How do you figure 4 percent of 200000?
10% of 200000 would be 20000 so 5% would be 10,000. So 4% would be approximately 9900-9999.
What is 160656 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand?
It would be 200000. Rounded to the nearest ten thousand would be 160000.
Did Pocahontas die from Ebola?
No, that would have been impossible, since there was no such disease as Ebola back in the 1600s. But there were certainly other serious diseases that killed people, since there were no hospitals and few doctors. When people became ill, they often infected each other because there was no reliable means for sanitation or keeping things clean and sterile. While we don't really know what killed Pocahontas, most historians believe she died from either a kind of pneumonia or flu, or perhaps dysentery. She was only in her twenties when she died.
What animal caused Ebola?
Howdy! It is most likely that fruit bats are the natural reservoirs of ebola virus (EBOV) and infected non-human primates like monkeys. Eating non-human primates, and even bats, as bushmeat which is contaminated with the virus can prove to be very lethal for the victim. Hopefully, my response has helped you! 😄
Where would you catch the Ebola virus?
Ebola can be caught through the passing of blood and bodily fluid. Hospital workers are at most risk due to them treating effecting patients. For More Information I have included a link in the links section.
How many people do you think would be infected if you had ten interactions?
Depending on the infection rate of whatever it is that's being transmitted, I'd say with a 50% confidence level that anywhere from 0 to 10 people would get infected.
How did the black effect people?
the infected flea would jump on to a human and bite them wich would infect the person.
What type of medical specialist would provide treatment for the Ebola virus?
Ideally, treatment of Ebola would involve a team of specialists. Infectious disease specialists treat infectious disease, but other specialists, such as hematologists, critical care specialists, and kidney specialists treat critical Ebola patients.
What is 178976 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand?
You would round it UP - to 200000
