I don't think it's the same. This disease is much wider spread. It's not as deadly, but 20% of those who get it will end up like the person here....very sick and needing medical treatment.
There are only around 65,000 ventilators in the US. That number is far too small if a major epidemic occurs. This doesn’t even count the lack of trained RNs and PAs who know how to treat critically ill patients. You will also need thousands of respiratory therapists to do the day to day therapy for those on ventilators.
Ebola required blood or other bodily fluid contact. Airborne is another matter entirely.
