Right now in Sierra Leone 5 people are affected every hour according to one source out there. I imagine much of the 3rd world countries will eventually come here since our borders are wide open and.... exhaust out heath care industry.
I don't think we can absorb the entire third world? Furthermore, how many of them would bring in more infected people?
In an outbreak, the system will be overwhelmed in short order. Our health care system is intensive and inefficient. Health care workers will refuse to treat. The waste disposal problems would be monumental. People will be turned away from hospitals to go home and die and each of those will create another infection and death cell.
Only fire can cleanse but I wonder about that. The responsible thing for an infected person to do would be to go to some disposable shelter and die leaving orders for the shelter to be burned.
I doubt this can be stopped now.
I just heard that they have not yet finished the list of the 100 they suspect may be infected let alone to contact them. It has been at least FIVE days now that these 100 exposed and potentially infectious people (remember that the incubation period is TWO to 21 days) have been wandering around.
I feel more afraid with each passing hour and each new bit of news that creeps out.
