Should Americans be concerned about Ebola? Should we suspend visas from the hardest hit countries?
These are the questions we're wrangling with as we face the first outbreak of Ebola in the US. The administration and his supporters in the Democrat party are attempting to portray the very question as foolish, and concerned Americans as "hysterical." So let's take a look at this from a rational risk assessment perspective.

I've seen similar matrix used in the oil/gas/petrochem industry.
a black guy in Georgia told me the other day it was a matter of “freedom”
in this country we have freedoms so we shouldn’t have any bans on flying from Africa because OF Ebola..
No it wasn’t explained and I didn’t ask...
It’s a standard risk assessment tool, applied to Ebola
It doesn’t matter how high a risk it is, the problem is we have a radical Muslim and an enemy of the United States as President and nobody is doing anything about it. If it isn’t Ebola it’ll be something else under this slimebag, especially after the election when he goes into overdrive with his “fundamental transformation” which is his code word for “destruction” of the US.
It’s also being included in the ISO 9000 version coming out in 2015.
When was the last time any of the EXPERTS or EXEMPT
have personally been to a Hot Zone?
I use those charts at my job, but I always find it interesting that the choices are so limited.
The chart sez that my building is at medium risk of getting hit by a large meteor.
But it’s really low to nonexistent.
From the article: “There is no containment of Ebola in sight. Right now it has an R-0 factor of slightly over 2, which means that every person who contracts the disease spreads it to two other people. Until that number is brought below 1, the disease will continue to spread. “
Thing is, it reminds me of the high school dropout rate. The numbers for the whole country have little to do with your particular school.
And regarding the US numbers for ebola, they are still too low to be empirical. They are anecdotal. Meanwhile, I’m reading that Nigeria is having better success than other african countries right now.
Thought: given the incubation period for ebola and health/behavior statistics of gay men, if an active gay man gets this virus the entire community would have a serious problem.
“Meanwhile, I’m reading that Nigeria is having better success than other african countries right now.”
Ebola does not reside in Nigeria. It had a case of one person flying in. He was diagnosed with Ebola but people that treated him died. Nigeria admitted that they were unprepared for this event.
The Ebola Agent 0 in America brought it here
As a result, we have 2 healthcare workers infected ,and made travel arraingements.
As a result of their travels, just the two of them , we now have 177 indiviuals on CDC Ebola watch, all the way from Texas to Ohio to a boat in the Carribean.
Assuming that there are 3000 people on that cruise ship, we may now have 3,177 on CDC Ebola watch.
Where the hell is the logic to maintain "OPEN BORDERS" with 1 Ebola case, now possibly have 3,177 on CDC Ebola watch.
This is great!

This rate comes from the numbers of overall infections in the current outbreak. The (admittedly very tiny) numbers in the US just happen to match the overall infection rate.

The reinfection rate in africa will almost certainly be different than in the US for a variety of reasons.

e.g. Aids is a big deal in africa. In the US it’s not.
