Doctors have treated me like waste for a couple of decades, because I’m a working class man. Some of them acted like queer foreigners on drugs (e.g., southern Europeans). [Not the East Indians or Chinese, though. They were great.] So no loss. Let the un-American ones get out and later be exiled to the nations of their leader in the pointy hat.

You have the beginning of wisdom. If things go south, and I think there is a 50/50 chance it will because of the complete lack of leadership, we will need to work in our local communities to help each other. I agree with you.....the lessons I learned from my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother are always there to reflect on and employ. I could be overstating it, but if New York is hit with 3 or 4 cases of ebola things could get dicy. I look at it like a nuclear reaction......one hits the community and 8 get infected,.....then those 8 hit and another 8.....the number will increase, not arithmetically, not geometrically, but logarithmically ....until herd immunity offers some protection. My normalcy bias will not really allow me to go there in my mind. Self-deception is a powerful thing.

Very interesting. Thank you. Adequate measures taken against infection for each individual would be dependent on the purpose of the individual, whether only avoiding infection (much less exposure), taking care of those suffering from it or cleaning contaminated areas (much greater exposure).
