Maine's Governor Dumbshit puts his foot in his mouth yet again...

LePaige: "I'm not a medical doctor, but I know these things!"

ME-Gov LePage Says 13% Of Ebola Victims Die Without Showing Any Symptoms

Asked to give his response to a district court judge's ruling that nurse Kaci Hickox presented no threat to public health, Maine's ridiculous Governor again resorted to character assassination and gave more false information about the disease.

Die with no symptoms, eh? That would be pretty damned scary, if it weren't absolutely false.

His comments are probably based on this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/27/world/people-carrying-ebola-in-some-cases-may-be-free-of-symptoms.html

The possibility of asymptomatic infection was only suggested in earlier studies, they said in last week's issue of The Lancet, a medical journal published in London. Now they said they had documented such infections for the first time. They found that the Ebola virus could persist in the blood of asymptomatic infected individuals for two weeks after they were first exposed to an infected individual. How much longer the virus can persist is unknown.
