Let's see where we are 18 days from now in Dallas. And then 21 days after that.
But I BELIEVE I was the first on this forum to bring up the fact that this disease is easily transmissible between multiple species. I contend there are dozens of sewer rats...and potentially landfill rats/coyotes now contaminated in the Dallas area.
This disease is very likely now endemic to Dallas County. We'll see it pop up every few years just like West Africa.
Just like we see Ebola's sister, Marburg pop up on occasion since it was imported into the US in 2008? And we see localized outbreaks of Lassa hemorrhagic fever after the 4 imported cases during the past decade?
Our health care system is good, and we know how to control infection. In the Ebola case, the hospital messed up, a LOT, by not immediately admitting the guy based on travel history. But that lapse will not lead to Ebola getting established in the bat population and becoming endemic to the US.
