They’re getting the meme in place...scared of ebola? It’s just because you’re a rotten xenophobe.

It must be noted that Japan has already stockpiled an anti-flu drug, farapiravir, that’s been shown to be effective against ebola in lab animals. South Korea has announced they too will be obtaining that compound in the event of an outbreak there.

Note the statement that fatality rates are ‘only’ 20% in the developed world. Even 20% would destroy economies everywhere.

Beginning Aug 20, Kenya will bar travelers from the worst hit countries. Kenya Air has announced it will stop flying those routes when that ban hits.

Likely what this will do is speed up the exit plans of anyone who hasn’t who wants to.
