Idiot. A real travel ban would take that into account by requiring some period of time from their leaving an outbreak locale--say a minimum of 21 days--before allowing them to come here. Let Brussels be the quarantine center. Play that stupid tune somewhere else, Mr. Reid.
95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval. [1]
Unless the sentence structure is somehow misleading, this passage appears to indicate the following:
95% of Ebola incubations occur from 1 21 days
3% of Ebola incubations occur from 21 42 days
2% of Ebola incubations are not explained (why?)
If this interpretation of the WHOs statistics are correct, it would mean that:
1 in 20 Ebola infections may result in incubations lasting significantly longer than 21 days
The 21-day quarantine currently being enforced by the CDC is entirely insufficient to halt an outbreak
People who are released from observation or self-quarantine after 21 days may still become full-blown Ebola patients in the subsequent three weeks,
even if they have shown no symptoms of infection during the first 21 days.
(Yes, read that again
)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t they stamp your passport when you are entering or leaving a country? All officials would have to do is look at the stamp or is that too difficult?
