That would be me, and I still have the same opinion.
While the West African outbreak became uncontrollable for the local authorities, I do not believe that it will remain so as the low hanging fruit is picked..
It a tragic situation for them, but it’s not going to be the same worldwide, or here for that matter. So what are we up to now? 4k dead? In countries where people herd like cattle and there are multiple disease outbreaks annually..
You still, cannot transfer the rotten conditions to the west. The disease can come here but the conditions will not.
Which is why all your fear of Ebola is groundless.
Having said that, you also need some perspective. Here is a quote from the CDC.
“Flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe. Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.”
Ebola has a long way to go to get to those numbers and that is just the US.
Ebola or it predecessors have been here on earth for thousands of years and it still has not done enough damage to even match the US flu stats for 30 years.
So knowing that....what do you think it’s chances are of even coming close to that record.
I think it’s slim to none..
All you have is hyperbolic nonsense.
Ebola has a 60% death rate and you are comparing the severity of Ebola to the common flu? The way you are pooh poohing this I have to ask, are you the Dr. from Fox News; Bernie Seigel? Are you the head of the CDC Dr. Thomas Frieden? The same cavalier, “it can never happen to the US.” to “it will be contained easily as we have superior medical facilities than the third world.” excuses reek of arrogance and a false sense of delusion. This is worse than panic as this misleads the public into thinking they are safe when Ebola can be transmitted rather easily if 2 Dr.s contracted it even when wearing supposedly sufficient protective gear.
