IF we don’t SHUT DOWN travel to the US from infected countries, it will be EVERYWHERE soon.

I'm not saying that Ebola won't be a big problem.

However, EVD-68, Chikungunya, and Dengue Fever are flooding the U.S.

EVD-68 has already hit at least 40 states.

I agree that the morbidity rate of EVD-68, Chikungunya, and Dengue Fever may be significantly higher -— we shall see how this ebola episode plays out -— but the MORTALITY rate is the thing that makes the difference. Sick is sick, but dead . . .

Dengue Fever is spread by mosquitoes ... hardly a serious contrast or comparison to Ebola... While Dengue Fever - ‘Break Bone’ Fever is serious and makes one very very sick - the mortality rate is not all that high. Plus - we can control Dengue by controlling the mosquito population which the U.S. is very good at when push comes to shove.
