You sir or mam, do not follow history much? The only upside to ebola is how fast it kills within a population of limited means of dispersal or travel. Give it the means to mass and transoceanic transit and you are looking at something out of a Stephen King novel.
The herds are about to be culled folks. I'm not armchairing anything. Global pandemics do occur. Why give them jet fuel to do so?
It’s mam, and it’s a good bet that I know more history than you do.
I would ask you to step back and consider. I am not concerned about any public danger from two isolated, quarantined, ill Americans in the hands of medical professionals in a containment facility. That is most unlikely to be the spark for a worldwide pandemic.
On the other hand, I am most certainly concerned about a great number of Africans traveling to Washington for some political/sociological/policy meeting, which is imminent. I am all for quarantining all of Africa and banning flights from that continent until this potential pandemic is squelched.
My fervent prayer is that Dr. Brantly and Mrs. Writebol recover and that their experience helps develop a vaccine or other treatment against this awful virus.
