It may already be here.....................
Dealing with death diseases..These people are allowed to move freely from place to place?
Yes and they’re probably being escorted into the U.S. by DHS.
The “good” news is that it’s transmitted via bodily fluid contact and not airborne. Some novelist had a scenario about someone making an airborne version of the virus... That would be scary.
Which is why the medical staff, including US trained personnel, are catching the disease??????
Delta has direct flights from Atlanta to Lagos. United has them from Houston.
But, wait, will the Starbuck’s drive thru still be open?
The US is too sparsely populated for this to be HUGE here. It would rip through New York and the like, but it would burn itself out pretty quickly. Unless someone was intentionally spreading it. ( Cue coast to coast music bed )
It’s only fair.

Ebola Outbreak Spins Out of Control on Eve of Obama's African Summit in Washington.
I don’t think it is a huge concern to us up here in Canada. We lack the temperature, humidity, millions of years of human dirt and filth. The freeze and thaw cycle also helps limit the spread of other diseases which weaken the human body...when was the last time we had malaria? When the dinosaurs ran free on the prairies?
That wasn’t a novelist, it was lizard expert Dr. Eric R. Pianka at the University of Texas at Austin who proposed that it would be a good thing if a pulmonary form of ebola wiped out 9 out of 10 people on Earth.
He said this during a speech at the Texas Academy of Science, while receiving the 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist Award, and received a standing ovation from all but two people, one who reported him to the FBI for encouraging biological terrorism, and the other who later confirmed this account.
Since his advocacy of unparalleled human homicide, in front of people who might someday have the capacity to carry out his nightmare for real, Pianka has become deeply offended that his ideas are not popular except among the elite, and has said that “his life has been flip turned upside-down by ‘right-wing fools.’”
That is, people who are not thrilled with the idea of six billion people being slaughtered for the ha-has of an inhuman super-villain.
That US doctor was still in Nigeria. Not in the US.
I mean Liberia.
Ebola is spread from human to human. Canada is just as likely as the US for it to show up there.
One Physician has died...the other still fighting last I heard...yesterday.
