You know its time to start panicking when all the right-thinking people start spilling a lot of ink saying, “There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
To me?
This is just another shit borne disease from deep in the tropical lands of Africa. Every virus that is out there needs the right conditions to flourish. I doubt it will carry far in America. It will do poorest in in dry desert areas like Phoenix or areas of Texas. Better yet, a place with freeze thaw cycles... Alert.
I also believe it can take a real foothold in the areas where sanitary conditions are real poor... like the third world equatorial regions who are still drinking their effluent from the nearest river or stream. Places where three quarters of the population are already run down with all the following typhus, hepatitis a, b and c, malaria, aids and other sexual diseases. Once the body is already diseased, it takes little incremental disease to kill it.
Also, here in North America, beyond our civilization our culture is entirely different.
If it does surface here, we know that we can contain it. Africans are not like that.
I really do not think it has a future here.
