Did anyone else on the same plane eventually travel to the USA????? In 21 days this could be a $hit$torm Exactly.
If the guy developed symptoms ON the plane, he was at his peak contagious period. It's ALWAYS the day before and the day you start showing symptoms. With any virus.
That's how they spread because if you were contagious after you showed symptoms, you could just quarantine the individual and and stop the virus in it's tracks.

As a physician (I play one on TV), my advice is that we ALL start drinking heavily. Now.

The Interim President of Liberia after Doe was removed from office, feet first, was a man named Amos Sawyer. I wonder if Patrick Sawyer was a relative.

"What????? Yeah...
Fellow passengers on his plane were given warnings about the diseases symptoms, which can include bleeding from the nose and mouth, but were allowed to continue on their journeys.
THAT, is the scary part. No one seemed concerned enough to issue a quarantine or a test or anything just basically the old standby "take two aspirin and put your end between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye..."

no travel between the US and Liberia...PERIOD!!Those flights are not direct. They would go through London, a major worldwide hub, where Ebola could be spread to the entire world in an hour
.one case at a time, of course.

Apparently this strain is more contagious, but less deadly. You have a 40% chance of survival if you catch it. Still not “great” odds, but 40% is way better than 10%.

An urban Ebola outbreak is about the only thing that would make me back full-on martial law. That $#!^ is horrifying.

I wouldn’t mind if my local JBT enforced martial law/quarantines...as long as I knew they’d get Ebola too.
Karma’s a bitch.

Yep, 21 days before symptoms are evident in many victims.
This virulent virus may already be among-us.

There are more than a few FReepers who like to point out how silly preparing for a Mad Max situation is, but what if it isnt Mad Max? If it ain't Mad Max, I will be sorely disappointed. I just got cool-looking leather armor and a Mohawk.

Glib comment - you had plenty to say before - nothing useful, however, hence ‘glib lib’.

It’s transmitted by bats. I avoid moon bats to the best of my abilities.
I do have enough to keep the house covered for a season or longer but we work in healthcare, so...

Should you get a part as a politician I would vote for you.
