With a 21day incubation period it’s pretty much impossible to screen effectively for Ebola.
Well, last night’s news here in Georgia told of how Emory University has now received a confirmed EBOLA case in their extra special new isolation unit. I supposed the CDC wants the victim there so they can experiment, etc. Big to-do here. The “news” people will follow the case closely (i.e., they’ll retransmit the information they get from the government).
This is fine. Okay....they’ve gone to all this trouble bringing in some victim who was likely out there in the population free as a jaybird until he got full-blown. So now we’re all waiting with bated breath about what’s to happen with him. That’s for just this one case.
What happens to the next one? Or the next 10, the next 100, the next 1000? Or worse.
What happened to our transparent proactive government? Our CDC who has multiple side businesses studying and issuing reports on gun violence, spousal abuse, and other politically-based issues that have nothing to do with addressing and attacking real diseases like this? What happened?
We’ll see just how far all this EBOLA stuff has gotten in the coming days and weeks.
