Ebola's spread to the United States is "inevitable" due to the nature of global airline travel, but any outbreak is not likely to be large, US health authorities said Thursday.

Was in Italy recently and I was told there is Ebola breaking out theer from mostly their illegals. Their tourism departments try and keep this outbreak quiet, but the Italians all know. I suspect the same thing is happening with us.

It will be big enough to those that die from, or that die in the mass panic that follows.

But, it’s ok. It’s just too politically-incorrect to close that border. It might cost a Democrat a vote, and what are a few dead peones, anyway? The “important” people will be sure they get their Ebola vaccine.

People have known that for a while. Which doesn’t mean this outbreak, or even the next, but eventually one of these outbreaks is going to spread here.

It really will be interesting to see how far things will have to go before our government finally does what we all know they should be doing TODAY.

I only hope they are held accountable for what they are bringing on this country.

Notice how flippant they are? People will die. I guess instead of closing down travel, they figger some of us are expendable for the sake of global air traffic.

Probably will. Most pandemics hit the cities the hardest, since there is a great deal more person to person contact there.

No No. Didn't you read their statement. They have no intention of stopping it at the border. It's "inevitable". They'd have to change the nature of international travel and they just won't do that.
