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.
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?
