21 day incubation, and another, what, 10 to 15 days at a 90 percent mortality?
Based on the reports on HOW MANY are leaving just for treatment, it appears several countries are getting serious about studying it. There seems to be no shortage of foreign citizens of the US and EU countries that need to be ‘brought home’ for treatment.
In Atlanta, especially.
The graph I saw on FR this AM on deaths v identified cases indicates that it is already an exponential function.
This isn’t traditional Ebola.
Let’s see what the death count is in five more days. I predict that reporting out of Africa is going to be much more difficult coming out of this weekend.
Per twitchy there was a scare in NYC today, some body who flew in from Africa (and boy were his arms tired!) was taken to Bellevue for examination.
Reportedly OK at this time.
It won’t take much to start a panic.
Travel from these countries must be ended immediately. Like, tomorrow morning at 9 am.
Look, if that’s an over reaction, still what’s the harm?
That someone can’t go on vacation, or to a business meeting, or a funeral, or a wedding or enroll in school?
Please - you are all going to have to stay put at this time.
Hopefully this will burn itself out very shortly.
If not, well....what can I say? Obama’s fault.
