How insane if anything can turn a populace mad and into a hysterical frenzy ,its ebola, the PTB must be drooling.

50 days? That is nothing. I expect it survives for generations.

Why I say that? The local vet informed me years ago that anthrax was present on a farm a couple miles away. Those anthrax spores remain in the soil practically forever so that if anyone were to raise livestock there even 100 years from now and happened to scratch a bit of soil to the surface with these spores the disease will resume its activity.

if it man made how long can it live on things

I think the real worry would be if it was to escape into a wild population of animals in the Americas and become a reoccurring problem as it is in Africa, if that is truly what is happening. The scientists are saying that it likely is infecting people through interaction with local environments, especially newly opened areas that have not been largely utilized until recently. They have not found where the infection is coming from.
