The sign for Ebola…. what do you think?
What I’m seeing on the internet is a sign that starts with “S” shape (palm facing down) and goes out to “3” hand that is facing down. The 3 represents the international symbol for bio-hazard and the outward motion of the sign represents SPREADing of the virus.
You can see the sign here: http://www.handspeak.com/word/ index.php?dict=ea&signID=6376
Their source was a signer from Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=wSA84cXmvCA
Is there something else used locally? What do you think about this sign? What distinguish this sign from other biological hazards?
