Should be a quarantine from anyone coming from west Africa.
WHO says that the incubation time is 42 days. We put the Dallas folks (Duncan family) on a 21-day quarantine. Their kids are now back in schools.
Sure hope that 3-5% chance they are infected doesn’t hit...
Also, there’s a story out today (Alex Jones, but still...) confirming something I thought weeks ago:
To prevent “public panic” and in the interest of “public health” the feds are now “disppearing” the infected.
They show up to hospitals bleeding from body orifices, fever, etc. and the doctors and medical staff are told later they had “malaria” and were taken away.
No telling how many actual cases are out there.
What happened to the nurse’s boyfriend (Pham’s boyfriend)?
Just one example.
If you read the WHO report carefully, what they’re saying is the 90-th percentile of cases seem to break out in 42 days. I think. I’ve got the report here somewhere, but it doesn’t matter.
The WHO was saying quite recently they didn’t understand why they were having such a hard time stopping the spread/outbreak.
This would explain why: your basic data and assumptions of a 21 day incubation period as an absolute are wrong.
Your assumption that the virus isn’t spread through airborne aerosolized secretions is WRONG.
Your assumptions about this being a fragile virus which doesn’t persist in the environment: wrong.
The US Army has known of airborne transmission for decades (read The Hot Zone).
German studies demonstrated persistence of Marburg agent for upwards of 4 to 5 days.
Thing is, the basic science hasn’t been completed with Ebola yet. It hasn’t been consolidated and packaged in a way it can be presented to small-minded entrenched government socialist bureaucrats at the CDC, NIH and WHO so they can make sense out of it.
The data are there, putting it together is, apparently, beyond the capacities or capability of said agencies.
There is not a "3-5% chance they are infected." The WHO stats suggest that 3-5% of people who are infected begin showing symptoms between 21-42 days after exposure, NOT that 3-5% of people who are exposed begin to show symptoms between 21-42 days. Huge difference.
