The problem is that Ebola at this time cannot be cured via traditional medicine. There is no anti virus. The only way to control this is quarantine. It will eventually come down to shut down borders and even air transport.
The idea of reducing global population to 500m w Ebola would be a catrastrophic event. This disease does not distinguish between race, creed, or color. It must have hosts to stay alive.
Watch what happens when this explodes in major African cities.
its ikely going to get a bit uglier before its over.
Physicians put their lives on the line everyday with far less sexy viruses than ebola, but equally as deadly. We take care of people. What happened to the days of going to the moon? Curing disease? What happened to American can do spirit? All of you who are lamenting this physician returning do not deserve to live in the home of the brave.
We used to be a great society, we revered men who created the best economy, wrote great work of literature and philosophy, cured disease and celebrated freedom. If you turn away from this America, do NOT come crying to me when the government turns away from you. How DARE you?
Being afraid and running is as un-American as communism. I would hope that the great scientists and physicians at the CDC would take care of me if I contracted a disease in the practice of medicine and the very humanitarianism I too an oath to practice.
And before i get called names and all the rest, I AM A CRITICAL CARE physician, so if this bastard hits us, I will be taking care of these people.
No problem...we're all over that!!!(sarc)
