I believe it will get pretty bad, especially for those in Africa
My fear is that this is going to be much worse
than AIDS, I just don’t see “containment” as a
realistic tactic in this day and age.
If this stuff manages to reach modern society
we will find out how much of our society
is actually tribal, and for those that think
some how it will be different here, be prepared
for an awakening.
Read Defoe’s Journal of a Plague Year just for
starters. Yes I know this is not Plague but the
reactions of mankind will mostly be the same.
If this mutates, we may not have to worry about
over population as famine and disease will certainly
cut us back.
Kinda not like AIDS.
A person with AIDS could harbor the virus for years without ever showing symptoms, and is contagious during that time. Thus AIDS was able to spread widely, especially in Africa (where there are 35 million or so cases).
Ebola is only similar to AIDS in that it needs direct contact with infected fluids to spread, and that the virus is fragile outside of the body.
