Sheridan Lafeber: Hi, Judy so I have a question for you and here it is! So why did the Ebola show itself today and not when the first settlers came? It doesn't make sense because people didn't get it like ever since I was born and so why now, why are they getting it now?

Thu Oct 23 10:32:43 2014

Audrae Vincent: After you have been cured from ebola, could you still have a chance of getting it again? Without coming across someone who has it?
Thu Oct 23 10:38:27 2014
AJ: Why did it spread so fast in Africa and only four people here has had it and it didn't really spread? Is it because we have better hygiene here than Africa?

Taylor: Since the Ebola virus seems to be evolving, will it evolve into something we haven't seen before and we won't know it is still Ebola?

Thu Oct 23 14:58:34 2014

Thu Oct 23 14:59:30 2014

Austin H.: i wonder if our containment centers at the cdc are good enough to hold or contain ebola, and it just hit america so we have some time to try to contain it

Fri Oct 24 15:31:23 2014
Sharon: ok so we have audio and video but the audio is soft but we can hear Ellen
Fri Oct 24 15:36:18 2014
Mrs K: One of our students is reading THE HOT ZONE. Is the virus in that book an airborne virus and is it related to the current virus?
Fri Oct 24 15:46:24 2014
Sharon: How many states has Ebola been found in? This is from Wyoming students
Fri Oct 24 15:51:00 2014
Mrs K: The student has pointed out to me that the book jacket says very plainly that the strain discussed is airborne, so that is confusing to us. "It is airborne, it is extremely contagious, and it is about to burn through the suburbs of a major American city. Is there any way to stop it?"
Fri Oct 24 15:53:16 2014
Sharon: Is traveling on a plane dangerous now? from Wyoming students
Fri Oct 24 15:56:09 2014
Judy: Thank you everyone! I will follow up with Dr. Wells about the Hot Zone book to clear that point up. Ebola is definitely not airborne so that is confusing. Let's keep connecting like this even with some of the tech challenges. We will continue to refine it.
Fri Oct 24 22:54:34 2014
Judy: Thank you again to everyone! Based on feedback, we are planning to have a live SLOG-ITT session every other Friday afternoon. Many thanks to Dr. Wells for the session on Ebola. Her expert guidance in this very important topic was invaluable. Check back often as we will post a schedule of future SLOG-ITT sessions. See you online!
