Unfortunately I do not think we will know until we see how it acts. There have certainly never been infections in the wild in cooler less humid environments so we have little experience with what will happen.

I think the use of quarantine and all possible precautions is prudent, and hopefully we will never find out. Unfortunately, I think we are about to. Hopefully it will fizzle like SARS did, but one of these times a true epidemic will take hold. If not Ebola, we can apply what we learn from Ebola to the next threat.

Not to pile on the misery, but what do you think of Paladin`s warning of the possible establishment of a wild and native population reservoir in North America? This thing is zoonotic, didn`t that happen with Yrsinia Pestis and rodentia out West?
