Exactly.
Through one of the links to a video series on this thread that I watched, an African Ebola doctor/scientist described one patient becoming infected from a doorknob.
One need only visit emergency rooms during flu season to see what might transpire, if Ebola were to get a foothold in the US. With the first symptoms presenting same as the flu, it could be our worst nightmare.
I really don’t get all the comparisons to AIDS. Truly, if AIDS were as infectious as Ebola, it would have wiped out a huge swath of humanity already.
If AIDS was as contagious as Ebola, and as deadly, there would be a dearth of interior decorators, and different people would be running a lot of things, from networks to government agencies.
