This is only a 1-in-10 thing for those who are incredibly fortunate. It is, more realistically, a 50% - 70% lethality disease, since most who have gotten it, AND MOST WHO WILL GET IT IN THE FUTURE, will simply not have access to the degree of care necessary to survive this thing.
Again, I am not so much concerned with the costs (though that IS of concern to me) as with the effectively (or lack thereof) of our efforts to stamp out this hideous and ultra-virulent disease. So far, those efforts have been pathetic and largely unsuccessful.
I would advice you (and anyone else curious about Ebola and wondering what the bear naked truth is) to go to http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/ and start reading. Go back a few weeks and catch up to today. Everything said there is true, and all of the predictions made about Ebola and the consequences of stupidity/political correctness have been borne out. FYI, this is NOT my blog, I’m just a reader.
For some more recent and pertinent information, read the following 2 posts:
http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2014/10/who-comes-to-jesus-we-have-liftoff.html W.H.O. says that there are 12,000 cases as of 10/24, and that there is STILL under-reporting by at least 50%.
http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2014/10/kids-dont-try-this-at-home.html The challenge that anyone trying to treat Ebola at home will face. This is clear evidence that it is nothing to be joked about or treated with less seriousness than a 10-mile wide asteroid hurtling toward Earth. IOW, this is a potential extinction event (and costs are secondary).

I’m just trying to figure out what total breach of sanity we will have to endure until somebody physically removes Obutt from office to save the country from total ruin.

They should only be treated if they’ve got deep pockets and are major covert donors to Obola and the democrat party.
Thanks for the ping!
