Actually when I first saw that this Ebola was 60% kill ratio I thought uh oh, this is bad”. It is the 90 % kill that holds ebola in check, the term is “burnout”.

This Ebola can spread far better.

Even with a working Obamacare, we do not have the ability to put the entire nation in hospitals in the hopes of saving half of us. There are not enough hospital beds for one percent.

I don’t disagree with the possibility that assessment is accurate. I’m not sure what the communicable figures are for people who have survived though. Is there a point where it is less contagious? I don’t know.

Does this thing become less and less of a threat, once it hits the more advanced nations? My take is that methods of combating the disease will improve dramatically in a short period of time.

The question is, how reckless will government officials be? Luckily, this isn’t going to be treated like a “homosexual” disease. That means we can return to sane procedures regarding isolating those infected to the point they are less of a threat to society at large.
