That coupled with healthcare facilities that are, for now, top notch, the containment of an outbreak would likely be swift."

As far as I know, ALL pathogens survive just fine at -70 C. That's how researchers store them for research, in really cold freezers.

How well Ebola survives in the environment, under natural temperatures, humidity, and so forth, is more important than its survival in a -70 C freezer under conditions meant to preserve it.

I have to say I've never affectionately been called an idiot. That's a first, so thank you for that.

Do you expect true statements from our government ? .. or more propaganda?

No, I don't. Hence my skepticism. The fact that the government is in full panic mode and the media is focused on this like a laser tells me it's not as bad as it sounds. The media is complacent in a whole raft of propaganda, I'll give you that, but keeping the populace in fear is their primary directive. I choose not to live in fear.

The fact that this is still contained to central Africa is heartening. If there were outbreaks in Egypt, the middle east, along shipping lanes from Africa, or around primary flight hubs into and out of Africa, I would be concerned. Otherwise, I do honestly believe this is a storm in a teacup. Feel free to fritter away your sanity in fear. I'm going to live calmly, whether that calm be born of ignorance or a complete lack of care.
