uhhh...did anyone ever think that is the reason that borders were invented in the first place?...probably not!
Either they’re having to draft volunteers who aren’t properly trained due to time constraints, they are having to utilize gear with a potentially higher rate of failure (cheapest isn’t always best!), their bsl3 precautions for a bsl4 disease have a failure rate just now being noticed due to the numbers of people involved, OR this particular iteration of the virus is somehow ‘different’ in its ability to infect.
One, some, or all.

Africa Wins Again.
Attempts to help Africa/Africans usually prove, in the long perspective, to be a futile effort.

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
