Ebola: At what threshold do you self quarantine~ Vanity

Posted on 10/01/2014 12:34:14 PM PDT by GraceG

So at what level/number of ebola cases in the USA should people consider self quarantining themsevles in order to either avoid getting infected or in order to wait out a few weeks in case you may have picked it up to prevent spreading it.

Here is what I have a framework:

1. 1,000 cases in the United States with 0 in your own state.

2. 500 cases in the United States with 1 or more in your home state.

3. 250 cases in the United States with 1 or more in your home city/town.

4. 10 cases in the united states with 1 or more in your neighborhood (4-10 block radius).

Just a quick list on what I think, but not I am not an expert...

We could keep this nonsense up...but it would not be productive.

I am just a questioner. How come so many questions are remaining unanswered? How come the flights have not been shut down?

Ummmmm.....cuz that would be practically impossible...would be my guess.

What you are advocating, would be to physically isolate Africa from the rest of the world for something like that to be effective.

Of course, that would mean that no aid, or medical staff could come or go either..and the African economy would collapse leaving the entire continent in danger of being overrun by ebola and mass panic would ensue, causing refugees to flee the country via any way they could ..(boat people)

A suitable medical screen would be sufficient, but they are probably having difficulties even doing that much.

No, I don’t think you can prevent what happened with the Dallas resident who went to a Liberian funeral. But you can control the disease when it does get here, just as they did in Nigeria. (and the Nigerians don’t even have the resources and abilities we have here)

Eyes wide open. When I observe people showing flu symptoms, I’ll avoid public places. Also, read the obits. When numbers start increasing, it could mean something’s out there.

There is never 100% surety..about anything..

Best we can do is work with probabilities..

Probabilities, are essentially the odds that some conjecture or forecast could become reality and I like the odds..

While am at it will not wonder about the winds of change. Guess one should never listen to the wind. The weather might be closing in or NOPE the weather may not be closing in. No need for further questioning?!?

Ask Bill Gates, he’s okay with seeing a dramatic drop off in the world’s population.

The World's Richest Geek is obviously not worried about seeing his company implode from such a drop-off.

Because, as I explained, it would not make the situation better as the end result.

Just as in the Nigerian event, you can expect a few more contact infected from the Dallas guy. family members, most likely..I don't expect medical personnel to be victims, but it's early. The ambulance attendants probably have the most exposure and they are already quarantined.

Just as in the Nigerian event, they will isolate those potential infected via quarantine, but I would expect Dallas to do it better, faster and more effectively then Nigeria did.

That is called aerosols.....basically droplets projected by force, like a spray bottle..

Distance then becomes the factor..

yep, the best result is to not occupy a result or at least don’t ask questions. It all adds up in the obama universe.
