“They just have to infect a dozen or so Jihadis right before they board airliners bound for a dozen US cities. It is a very frightening scenario.”
How so? Do typical Americans swap bodily fluids with just-arrived Jihadis?
Well, you can believe that it isn’t a threat, but if it weren’t, the CDC would not have issued this.
Additionally, if any of these potential domestic victims get infected, there is an indeterminate probability that the infection can be spread to loved ones, etc.
You don’t have to “swap bodily fluids” with an infected person in order to contract Ebola. It’s not like AIDS, much more virulent.
As far as we know, it has not yet gone airborne. However, it does live on surfaces.
We have two Americans currently suffering from this strain who were in full protective gear when exposed. Ebola is highly communicable even to those trying hard to avoid it.
