One other thing though...in 1918 the population was different (both in numbers and in controllability)...add to that the extended “incubation period”...and we might be looking at more like 3 months of limited contact to be sure this thing is shut down. Even then I would expect pockets of risk (like “hot spots” when a forest fire is under control).
A lockdown/ daytime curfew/ quarantine for three months might be better. You want an emergency of this sort to be a one time thing, you want to extinguish the disease on the first try.
I figure that hotspots will be similar to where it cropped up now, a community with a high population of immigrants both legal and illegal from west Africa. People who have a habit of living on the margin of the law are going to skirt curfews and quarantines as well.
The real culprits in my mind are the politicians who have been enabling illegal immigration for decades, and who have promoting the immigration flood from the third world. Ebola and jihad are just two of the plagues that non-existent borders will bring us.
