Agreed!
Maybe only 10 will have been exposed.
Maybe only one on them will develops symptoms.
One imported active case a day, worst case.
That case will only expose, say, another 20 on the street and a like number of health care professionals.
Out of 300 millions or so, that trivial, right? RIGHT???
Nobody claimed that even one case was trivial and at the beginning of my post I commented that even one case is too many. Inciting panic serves no purpose and is harmful.
Thomas Eric Duncan who was released with symptoms exposed over 100 people and only 2 health care workers developed disease.
Public health requires vigilance but fear mongering actually hampers good disease control and actually contributed to the a worsening of the outbreak in Guinea.
