Just imagine it loose among the ‘ferals’ in a place like Chicago. I suspect dealing with them wouldn’t be the easiest thing to do either.
BTW, check out the first ‘bullet’ point & the last caution (as it applies to your observation of certain members of the community):
Ebola virus is transmitted person-to-person by direct contact with infected blood, secretions,organs, or semen
§ An infected person can transmit the disease to others as long as virus particles are left in the blood, which may occur weeks after the person is feeling better. There is potential for an infected person to transmit Ebola to others after fully recovering from the illness.
§ If an Ebola virus-infected patient dies, the body remains infectious and must be handled with extreme caution.
§ Close contact with persons who are infected but who do not yet show signs of active disease is very unlikely to result in infection.
§ There is no evidence of airborne transmission of Ebola virus from human to human.
Avoid Ebola infection by avoiding contact with body fluids (blood, feces, urine, vomitus, etc.) of infected people. Men infected with Ebola virus should not have sex for 3 months or until tests show that semen is free of the virus.

They’ll need to screen the blood supply for Ebola if it ever got loose in this country.
I have a feeling about this outbreak that we haven’t begun seen the worst of it...like watching Superstorm Sandy slowly coming together. You could watch the line up of fronts and tell that the storm was going to be funneled right into the US and one could do nothing except watch the train wreck!
The political and moral situation in the west is just about ripe for a major plague and the immorality of certain “communities” has them all set up for a major correction! Perhaps we might dodge this bullet but others are coming. God has supplied nature with quite a variety of armaments thru which we might be judged, not counting out the possibility of His direct judgment on all our sins as well!
The list should include sweat, spit, and tears. Easy to avoid if you don't get jostled, but keep in mind that sweat on the handrails, the door handle, elevator buttons, can be as infectious because the virus survives on surfaces for a few days.
