Dallas patient diagnosed with EBOLA. How many did he come in contact with?
-
My point was that they said 70% of the people that get it will die. This is across the globe I'm guessing. I'd assume the fatlity rate in Africa will be higher than the US. Not that it isn't extremely dangerous in both cases.
I think the important thing to note here us that we aren't Africa...

You're an ignorant little fuck aren't you.

oh hey, look... another post by DieHard without anything backing it up... shocker
go to bed old man

We aren't Africa. But viruses don't discriminate. Some of our population centers are probably just as dense or denser in population. Our health care system and most likely our government won't last through a pandemic affecting 40 million people.
-
So our health care system, infrastructure, overall cleanliness, average intelligence about this sirt of thing, etc etc is the same as Africa?
-
Yep
-
And it begins. How many did this scumbag come into contact with that WONT report fever to the hospital immediately?
-
Shits going to get real bad by Christmas
-
By now people in Texas are fleeing north probably carrying the virus with them
-
Just a reminder gentlemen that there is another crisis on our door steps every so often whenever rumors of what will be next deadly influenza pandemic is reported.
My prediction is now the same as it has been throughout the rest of these diseases. In 6 months it will be all but forgotten. Rest in peace bird, swine, chicken, goat, kangaroo, wallaby or whatever different flu was the latest rage.
Six months from now with no American plague. Anybody want to bet a beer?

I hope you're right, but Ebola is not influenza.

Nope. But it is a virus, like SARS right? Which is much harder to control than a bacterial infection. Well until bacteria starts to mutate...
And hopefully my opinion hasn't been tainted by the previous cries of wolf.

Even the CDC is "rethinking" how they handle ebola.
That is bad. It's more dangerous than they've said?
Just one sick illegal having ebola being shipped somewhere else, along
with others on a bus, in our country, could start a pandemic, right?
..."no big deal....just...eh....stocking up on food and water...to stay indoors for
weeks if we have to.....nothin going on really....just buying some stuff to boost
our immune systems, and staying away from the public places......everything is fine........"
Let's all just figure everything will ...mostly...be just fine.

Influenza is more contagious than Ebola because Ebola does not commonly cause sneezing/coughing like the flu does, therefore it doesn't spread as easily. I agree with WSS, two cases of Ebola are not a reason for everyone to freak out.
I don't the problem is how dangerous Ebola is, it is in our hospitals knowing how to handle it properly. In Cal's article, they speculate that the nurse could've gotten it from not taking off the protective suit properly. I immediately had to wonder why the suit wouldn't be decontaminated before she even had to take it off. It seems stupid not to do so.
