The disease wasn’t imported, and it never caused us any problems here, and no soldiers got sick, and while this has been the worst outbreak of the dozens of outbreaks over the last 40 years, nothing much came of it and nothing of note in the United States or outside of Africa.

The screaming panic scaremongers were incredibly wrong about everything.

If you want a laugh, go back to the early threads and watch the raving loons screaming at everyone who was rational.

Seriously, go look at those early threads and read the madness and the hysteria, and how nasty about it they were.

Prior to this outbreak the total number of cases in the US was zero. There were a few brought in under controlled conditions (imported, nonetheless). One case occurred here in the wild (brought from Liberia) who gave the disease to two others.

Since the origin of the pathogens was outside the US, I'd call that "imported".

YMMV.

If anyone was wrong, it was the “experts”. Some of us made the mistake of believing the idiots in govt and media. Was the military in charge? They didn’t know what the heck to do except waste $$$.
