In Nigeria they did a very good job at Contact Tracing and SHUT that down.

No they did shut down the entire country. But they did what we should be doing. Not a lot of PC in their containment processes.

If we pulled that here people would be screaming bloody murder.

I apologize for mixing up the SL and Nigera process.

Yes, I think Nigeria did handle it well. That case also shows Ebola is not as easily spread as some fear.

Although the first patient, a businessman named Patrick Sawyer, was vomiting on his flight in, none of the roughly 200 others on the plane fell ill. Others did after helping him into a taxi to a hospital.

And a patient in Port Harcourt went to her church and became violently ill during a ceremony in which the congregation laid hands on her. But none became infected.

There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that they intend to permit a domestic infection outbreak for just that.

The MSM is short-stroking people to play down the threat. The threat is real but they take it so seriously that flights direct from Africa are not screened, limited or, for that matter, banned.

Maybe I'm oversensitive, but I'm reading a lot of propagandistic statements in some of these threads' comments....02.
