I have seen the 90% rate for this virus strain in the literature, but have also seen rates of 60% to 70% for the current outbreak of this strain. Regardless, 70% is nothing to sneeze at. So to speak.

I have also read that the idea that more modern healthcare can handle Ebola better isn't really accurate. We MAY be able to contain it better - with more people going to the doctor and hospital (and then put in quarantine) than in some of these African nations where they don't trust the hospitals.

Of course, if you think that going to the hospital for your touch of flu might mean you go into quarantine for 23 days, or until you die, we might start distrusting our hospitals too.

Record numbers of healthcare professionals are getting sick this time around. Something is different.

Hmmm, let's see... 90% mortality of 6 billion people...

Just sayin.
