It has been my observation that there are a few posters (some of whom come across very authoritiative, even if they have repeatedly been proven wrong by events) who are downplaying and even ridiculing the potential for an outbreak.
The African outbreak is far from over, still accelerating, and the disease continues to spread.
Maybe they are just in denial, but I suspect the site is being trolled.

Yep just read one of those. For those who would assure of us of no danger, and ridicule concerns, I’d just like to say, it doesn’t inspire confidence that the first case out of the bag, the hospital fumbled the ball, by sending the patient home with an antibiotic, allowing several health care workers and others to have potential exposure.
A very authoritative statement regarding the limitation of exposure as quite small, is based on the assumption that all parties are reporting truthfully and accurately. Not even a qualification that If they are accurate and truthful, then the exposure was small.
I don’t find those people to be an more credible than some one running around pronouncing that we are for sure doomed and it’s the end there’s no hope.
There’s a realistic view of where we are, and where we could be potentially. Survival has always depended on realistic assessments of today and projections for tomorrow and the days that follow,( a big dose of good luck doesn’t hurt).
