My guess is that 99% of these cases will turn out to either be a common illness or a case of nerves on the part of people who either were in West Africa or in contact with someone who was.
Properly used DDT would be a great solution there. Thanks, Rachael!
There was an article on FR many years ago about that. The author had done a study on mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa due to infectious diseases pre and post-AIDS. He found that there was no discernible difference. His conclusion was that many deaths attributed to AIDS were just named that to keep foreign money flowing.
In truth it's a scandal that more has not been done about malaria and other endemic diseases in Africa.
