If you were issued open-ended plane tickets from West Africa gratiz zero on Aug 14th and told to run as soon as you feel sick, one day later the US would import a crop of hundreds of symptomatic patients per day. Duncan landed on the 19th. Everybody else that followed zero’s escape route would be landing within a week of that.
I think we will see hundreds of diagnoses this week. Thousands of health workers will walk off the job. I would consider cancelling any elective surgery scheduled two months from today.
I am just glad I do not have any trips scheduled for the foreseeable future.
If more West Africans flood the US, it will only get worse. I am certain that Duncan won’t be the first or last West African to lie in order to be able to get to the US for better treatment.
