NEVER underestimate a virus. They can have an antigen shift and become very,VERY lethal killers. The Spanish flu started out bad, then regressed to a less lethal strain, and then for some reason, in AUG-OCT 1918, it would kill an entire formation of troops in the evening, even though they started the day doing PT and drill. Fine in the AM, sick by noon, dead by midnight.
I said help individual people, not cure them.
Nobody knows how Ebola would react here in the states if our healthcare services became overwhelmed by it.
