Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

I think in this case, we can be fairly certain that this virus isn't spread by insect vectors. If it were, there wouldn't be a live/uninfected person left in Africa.

The mosquito would have to bite someone infected, have an incomplete feeding, and then seek out another host before the blood is digested. Complete digestion takes as much as 30 to 60 hours, but the virus would probably be destroyed long before digestion is complete. The nonspecific immune reaction to the mosquito bite may prevent infection due to the low number of particles introduced. Those factors would make such transmission unlikely even in Africa right now. Put together a few hundred thousand infected and you might get a few insect transmissions.

The bigger concern with an insect vector would be that Ebola finds an animal host that is fed upon by a mosquito species that also bites humans. There is no reason to worry about that right now, but if ebola were to spread around the world, it would probably find new hosts in new regions.
