We knew there was no safety in introducing a new pathogen to these shores.

It has (allegedly intentionally) been done before with devastating results.

When the administration's focus became one of shushing the messengers rather than safeguarding against the pathogen's entry, that was a definite red flag that many here picked up on.

Indeed it was.

This was one of the claims during the initial publicity that got my attention.

patients are contagious only when symptomatic

It would appear that many patients do not overcome the virus, however they may appear asymptomatic. The viral reservoir in the eyes and current sexual transmission "discovery" should raise concern of the virus reaching our shores again.
