There used to be a saying about Ebola, to the effect that it killed so fast, it didn’t pose a danger of spreading. Those who caught the virus were pretty much left for dead, and on their own.
During this outbreak, the mortality rate is less than 75% - an improvement in that dept. But at what cost? Well, doctors and troops and who know what else keep coming into regular contact with these patients to treat them, with some success, but they just keep spreading the virus to themselves and others...and possibly making the situation worse.
Sometimes a good old fashioned quarantine is best.
Ever consider what would have become of AIDS if we had instituted quarantine in 1982?
