Read it. Try THe Coming Plague by Laurie Garret. That should scare you more and unlike you suggested book or The Hot Zone it isn’t written like a thriller.
That’s about right
I was a CTI for NAVSECGRU.
Nothing, absoultely nothing about the regimes in Iran, Russia, China, or North Korea will surprise me anymore.
Time to update the medical stash...
‘___________no one has gotten one for almost 40 years.’
Believe it’s over 40 years - closer to 45-plus.
Bear in mind we are talking militant islamists here. They may just simply not care if 90% of their population is wiped out, just so long as 90% of ours is as well. Inshallah.
I doubt that the terrorist using this would unleash it in Emporia Kansas or even Dallas. San Francisco, New York, LA or DC would be far more likely

Add in a number of air transport “hub” locations (e.g., Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta) to help insure more rapid spread.
Shades of Ted Turner!
Yes, just a coincidence, of course.

Yes, absolutely, and it is deliberate.
You need to read up on the CDC, by Dr. William Campbell Douglas, who headed it under Reagan. They’re the problem, not the solution.
No matter how serious the subject, Free Republic never lacks for a cretin to get his rocks off by hating New York City.
OK, you’ve been indoctrinated, so I’ll waste no more time, but there is much out there on SP contagion that shows bug bites is the main mode. The condition of individuals’ immune systems can of course inject variability to this question, and for that reason, I may be the wrong person to be discussing it, since I mostly just don’t catch things.

Seriously?
What’s not to hate there? Look at the demography, large numbers of the chosen dependent class, of those that are self supporting, over half are expending effort to overcome our culture and morals.
LOL!

I didn’t intend to dis NYC with my post but since you broached the subject. New Yorkers are arrogant but I can’t figure out why. The city is a parasite that feeds on the rest of the region, most of it’s inhabitants have the culture of a Hun, and it’s government operates like a below average third world entity. Other than that, I find their anti-Christian and anti real American attitudes to be deplorable or maybe pathetic.
That article gave me a warm fuzzy feeling all over. Not.
